UU Musings, June 5, 2025

Word Musing in Cursive on Colorful Background
The Soul Matters theme for June is Freedom               
“I try to understand why trans folx are so terrifying to people, why we are seen as such a threat. And ultimately, I think the scariest thing we represent is possibility and freedom.
We have resisted the imposition of overly-determined stories of our lives and bodies, and we have demanded more.
And that is our gift to all of you.”
Chase Strangio – American lawyer and transgender rights activist,  deputy director for transgender justice and staff attorney with the ACLU, and  the first known transgender person to make oral arguments before the US Supreme Court.
