Course Overview
Ever feel like you missed out on the class where everyone learned about transgender and non-binary identities? It’s really common for people without 101 knowledge to feel hesitant to engage in trans-related conversations out of fear of saying something hurtful or ignorant. This session provides that missing information, by explaining core concepts such as the differences between sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, reviewing current trans-related language, and offering 3 guidelines for engaging in respectful and affirming ways. Whether you are new to trans-topics, or are seeking a refresher to keep your knowledge up-to-date, the knowledge and strategies presented can be applied immediately so that you can be more affirming of the transgender and non-binary people in your life and community!
