People of all gender identities are invited to read the UU Common Read Authentic Selves, a sweeping compilation of life stories and portraits of trans and nonbinary people, as well as their partners, parents, children, siblings, and chosen family members. Through interviews and photo portraits, the subjects of Authentic Selves invite readers into their real lives--their revelations, challenges, joys, and networks of support. This mixed-gender book group will invite participants to tell their own stories and form a deeper understanding of how their gender identity has shaped their lives. More than an introduction to gender identity, with Love at the center, the sessions will encourage participants to better know and love themselves and others. Facilitators will provide sections of the book that the group will read, so purchase is optional but not necessary. Copies of the book are available for purchase widely online and at InSpirit. Contact claire@firstuniv.org if you’d like the church to purchase a copy of the book for you. Facilitated by members Troi Ferguson and Claire Tralle.
