Transgender Awareness & Understanding

Course Description

To give you a good understanding of the long medical journeys a trans person undergoes, together with an understanding of the reference terms in common use, including language and terminology, cis-gender, non-binary, intersex, the pathways from M to F and F to M with the key stages in each pathway, the lived experiences of the facilitators plus a short life story video, LGBT facts, gender clinics, how to support a trans child, equality in the workplace, the laws surrounding gender and equality and how they affect you, and so much more……

If required, the LGBTQIA+ course can be added to this presentation as a 45 minute bolt-on, to give a more informed view of the bigger picture. This can be added to both Teams and Face to Face courses at a small additional cost.

Course Testimonials

"I really liked your honest comments e.g. about using pronouns on emails and thinking it about it from the perspective of someone who is inwardly trans but not wishing to do so externally"
"Excellent training - to have the privilege of learning a little about your lived experience was particular valuable. Thank you both."
"The openness and honesty with which both presenters shared their experiences, the technical information shared (e.g. the various aspects of what transition involves, both for the person themselves & others) and the legal/workplace aspects & the practicalities of these."
"The whole session its really good and very eye opening."
"Honest stories and conversation"
"It was very informative and gave me an insight into what we can do as an organisation to ensure we are meeting individual needs."
"Good mix of storytelling, stats and facts"
"I can't think of anything that could have been done differently, it was excellent. I am aware that as attendees, we were probably very quiet after Michelle's presentation. For me, that was due to reflecting on the content (& the huge significance of this) of what she had spoken about (we definitely hadn't fallen asleep!)"
"The open and honest sharing of your experiences with people not in the trans community"
"It was really honest, plenty of breaks and plenty of chances to ask questions."
