Gender Fluent

As Unitarian Universalists, we proclaim that all genders are sacred and all people are worthy of love and belonging. But living that commitment requires us to learn, unlearn, and deepen our practice of true radical inclusiveness. So we created Gender Fluent, inviting congregations to become:

 

  1. Curious about gender – yours and other’s – without judgment or assumption
  2. Conversant learning new vocabulary and ways of thinking and talking about gender. No longer letting fear of missteps stop important conversations.
  3. Courageous to speak up and fight back against ideas, laws, and policies that tightly define gender or dehumanize trans and nonbinary people. Courageous to affirm your gender, whatever it is, and to embrace others.

We’re excited to share that we will soon be making our genderfluent curriculum available for other churches to use! The curriculum includes worship service content for four Sundays, small groups facilitation guides, and more. Click the button below to be notified when the curriculum becomes available and check out the content below to get small sample of what you can expect in the curriculum.

We know gender fluency might stretch some more than others, so the curriculum includes guidance on offering and answering an anonymous question box. The GenderFluent curriculum doesn’t leave anyone behind.
