This course was developed for UU congregations, but is relevant to all faith traditions. It is intended for everyone from those new to trans identity to those with years of life experience who want to learn and create a fully-inclusive and affirming congregation. Each session will consist of a 45- to 60-minute pre-recorded lecture by Rev. Mykal Slack and Zr. Alex Kapitan, moments for reflection and deep conversation facilitated by members of the Trans Initiative Team.
Sessions will run the following Sundays after service from noon-2pm in the UUFM Meeting Room. Childcare will be provided.
10/13 – Session 3. (Transforming Hearts Collective Session 3_and_materials) Unpacking the Gender Binary: This session presents an alternative “model for understanding gender expansively, providing the basis for unlearning our assumptions and approaching gendered differences with curiosity and openness. In this session we will: Learn to separate different dimensions of gender from one another—biology, expression, identity, performance. Explore the incredible diversity and variation of experience within the different dimensions of gender. Reflect on how your own experience of gender aligns or does not align with the gender binary.”
