transgender

This online session is designed to pass on knowledge and best practice, enabling you to better serve and meet the needs of clients, customers and audiences of all genders, particularly those who fall under the Transgender* umbrella.

Drawing upon Andro and Eve’s extensive experience in meeting the needs of the LGBTQIA community in creating safe and inclusive events, this session covers;

Context. Where are we at with Trans Rights in the UK?
Terminology. Words have impact. We explore definitions and when to use.
Best practice. Looking at practical steps to implement, in order to be inclusive of transgender and gender diverse people.
Sharing experiences. Stories help us make sense of the world. We use practical exercises to help develop understanding and participants to relate to the subject.

Outcomes – You will;

• Feel more confident in your knowledge of the experiences of people who identify as LGBTQ+.
• Understand what gender inclusive language is and when to use.
• Understand the practical steps to help build gender inclusive practices and spaces.
• Take away a resource sheet with content covered in the session along with further advice and resources.

Covering topics including language, intersectionality, non binary identities, gender in a global context, feminism, LGBTQ+ history and transgender health and equality and the law.

Here’s what one previous participant had to say – “A really valuable session – it covers the legal and practical aspects (and flaws!) and discusses ways forward. It encourages empathy and reflection. Really well facilitated.”
