The Common Read of "Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families" is 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 year’s UU
Common Read discussion materials invite participants to tell
their own stories and form a deeper understanding of how
their gender identity has shaped their lives.
This Common Read offers two, parallel discussion tracks: one
for a UU group with any or mixed gender identities (mixed group), and one for UU participants with any trans or nonbinary identities (affinity group). Each session will be 90-minutes in length and take place in the Olin Room and via Zoom.
Affinity Group: November 3, 10, 17, & 24, 2:00pm
Mixed Group: December 1, 8, 15, 22; 2:00pm
Enroll in the discussion groups by contacting Jessie McKeon: [email protected]
All groups must meet a minimum of 4 people in order to go ahead. Copies of the book will be ordered for you in early October. If you would like to help offset the cost of the meetings and supplies, please include that in your RSVP.
