UUA Expands Support for Trans, Non-Binary, and Intersex Community

Our Unitarian Universalist Association has been steadfastly working to scale up its support of our trans, non-binary, and intersex kin as the onslaught of damaging rhetoric and oppressive legislation continues.

As part of this work, the UUA created a dedicated staff position called the transgender support specialist; started The Woodlands, a new online program offering pastoral care and connection for trans, intersex, and non-binary UUs, and their loved ones; updated the OWL sexuality education curriculum to offer new and expansive ways of addressing gender identity; increased resources for national observations of Transgender Day of Visibility and Transgender Day of Remembrance; and more.

New programming was also designed and implemented to fulfill the directives of the 2024 UUA General Assembly business resolution. Webinar series such as “Supporting Trans, Non-Binary, and Intersex Families,” “Preparing for Pride,” and “Threats from Without; Care from Within” all help skill up congregations as well as create community for trans, non-binary, and intersex folks, allies, UU congregations, and communities.
