Gender Identity and Expression (11/08/09)

OBOSOL and UU-UNO Present Justice Forum on Gender Identity and Expression
Sunday, November 8; Breakfast at 9:30 am, Forum at 10:00 am
Undercroft

First Unitarian, in conjunction with the Unitarian Universalist UN Office (UU-UNO), will be hosting justice forums each month October through May. The topics of these forums will focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) & sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues, which is in keeping with the spirit of this year’s church-wide social justice project, “Our Bodies, Our Spirits, Our Lives”.

This Sunday, Margaret Wolff, the Social Work Intern at the UU-UNO LGBT Program (www.uu-uno.org), will discuss Gender Identity and Expression, with a particular focus on Caster Semenya, whose gender was questioned after she won the World Championship in the 800m run in 2009 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8213581.stm).  Continental breakfast provided at 9:30am, forum begins at 10:00 am.
