 Reverend Sky Anderson is Minister of Community Life at Metropolitan  Community Church (MCC) in San Jose, CA. Reverend Sky is the first known openly  transgender minister in the United States, when he was pastor of MCC. He has  more than thirty years experience in ministry, including social organizing in  the LGBTQ communities and working with the poor and homeless.

 Tommie Lauer, M.D. 
 Tommie Lauer's journey began in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where she was born. 
 She was only 4 when she told her parents she was a girl. Not surprisingly,  though, Lauer's parents dismissed the claim and took their son for psychological  testing, thinking the boy was mentally unstable. They also strongly discouraged  any further talk of their son being a girl, and Lauer learned to repress those  female instincts.

 In 1971, she enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and  earned a four-year chemistry degree in two years, graduating magna cum laude.  From there she went to the University of North Carolina School of Medicine,  graduating in 1977, and then began her psychiatric residency at what is now Wake  Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. She was chief  resident in 1981, her final year.

 Lauer opened a private psychiatric practice in High Point, North Carolina in  1982 and quickly became a well-known figure in the local medical community. By  1987, she had become medical director of the Smith Psychiatric Center at High  Point Regional. She served six years on the board of directors of the Mental  Health Association in High Point, and served as secretary (1988) and president  (1990) of the High Point Medical Society.

 Lauer officially transitioned - that is, assumed the role of a woman, including  dressing as a woman - on September 8, 2003 in Ghent, Belgium. She transitioned  there, at a conference of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria  Association, because she knew she'd be surrounded by people - researchers,  therapists and other transsexuals - who would accept her.

 She volunteers at Higher Ground - a day center in Greensboro, North Carolina for  people infected with HIV - and at an addiction treatment center and a prison.  She'd like to see a gender center open in the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem,  High Point) area of North Carolina, to help people with gender identity  disorders.
