You’ve seen me wear and mention my he/him/his pronouns button, and may know that we’re trying to get better about addressing folks as they wish to be known.  I will again offer an after-service workshop on pronouns (and gender) on Dec. 18, with hopes that it is of use as you gather with family over the holidays, and as we continue to welcome folks of all genders at UUTC.  On Sunday the 18th we’ll wait to start the discussion in order to allow folks to get coffee (and for the children’s class to clear) before heading to the large classroom.   Whether or not you can make it, there are good online sources for deeper learning, and I share two here so that everyone can benefit.
