September 15, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Nonbinary People and Their Families"
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City is celebrating trans and nonbinary people by discussing a recent acclaimed book about their experiences in its program at 10:00 am on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 3845 N. Swan St.
The book "Authentic Selves" is a sweeping celebration of the life stories of 35 trans and nonbinary people, as well as their partners, parents, children, siblings, and chosen family members, providing a glimpse into their real lives, challenges, and triumphs.
One of the people portrayed in Authentic Selves is Robert Williams, a young nonbinary person who grew up in Mississippi and South Carolina and was fortunate to enjoy the love and support of their parents and their liberal Episcopal church. Robert is also related to a UUFSC member, who recently interviewed Robert and their parents for this program. We will be watching the video of that interview and reading a short passage from the foreword to the book in celebration of trans and nonbinary people and in anticipation of the Silver City Pride Festival on September 21st.
