Transgender Religious Professional Unitarian Universalists Together (TRUUsT) is a newly forming organization within the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA) that serves as a touchstone for transgender policy issues within the UUA.

TRUUsT’s steering committee held its first meeting April 22-25, 2008 in a retreat setting where the participants started developing working relationships, uncovering transgender history in the UUA, and planning for future meetings. Membership on the steering committee has been by invitation.

Membership in the TRUUsT organization is open to any Unitarian Universalist transgender or transgender ally who is a member of either the Liberal Religious Educators Association (LREDA) or the Unitarian Univeralist Ministers Association (UUMA). The organization plans to hold an annual membership retreat for transgender religious professionals and their religious professional allies (date to be announced, possibly beginning in 2009).

Welcome to the website for TRUUsT, a new group being formed for transgender religious professionals and their allies in the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. Yes, there are transgender ministers, religious educators, administrators and musicians in our congregations!

We’ll use this site to keep you informed as our planning continues, to ask for your input, and to keep in touch. We hope it’s helpful as we launch TRUUsT.
