Understanding Gender Identity and Supporting Our Transgender Loved Ones and Community Members

4 part series

This series provides information and tools needed to understand, support, and be active allies for our transgender loved ones and community members. It is appropriate for those new to the topic, for those who have taken the series and want to deepen their understanding, and for those who want to learn more about how to be an active ally. Some sessions will feature guest speakers. Each session will build upon what we learned in previous sessions. Folks are encouraged to attend the whole series, and are also welcome to drop in on individual sessions.
