About the Course

This course offers an intimate, story-based introduction to the experiences of six transgender children and their families. Through illustrated stories and short teaching videos, learners will gain a better understanding of gender identity and the gender spectrum. Stanford physicians, K-12 educators, and transgender faculty members offer practical tips for parents, teachers, healthcare providers and anyone who wants to help create a more gender-expansive environment - one in which all people can live authentically. As a global community of unique individuals, we can begin to build a world that is ready to nurture and love each and every child. Due to the sensitive nature of the story-based course content, we have chosen not to offer course certificates for this course. Simply put, we feel that the thoughts, ideas and sentiments of these remarkable children and their families... are priceless. We are confident that, like us, you will end up learning more from them than you could ever imagine. Together, we can lay a stronger foundation for all children. Join us as we explore health, across the gender spectrum. Additional note: When submitting answers to quizzes, you may be asked to enter your "full legal name". This feature is primarily for verification purposes for courses that offer a certificate on Coursera, so it does not really apply to this course. We recognize that, for some individuals the name they use does not match the one on their legal documents. Please feel free to enter the name you normally use in these boxes....

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. My stepson (born a female) is transgender. This course has helped me understand things more and gave me a lot of pointers on how to do things. Thank you so much!

I love how concise and easy to understand the videos were. They all get straight to the point and it was really a mind-blowing experience to learn about the differences and what we can do to support.

There are things that I wanted to learn about them, the different types of gender, intersex, this was all just about acceptance and coming out and not nearly teaching me new things at all, but I'm glad such a course exists atleast for awareness.

Me hubiera gustado si profundizara mas en el tema, la informacion era bastante superficial y cualquier persona con conocimientos sociales podia responder las preguntas. No creo que haya aprendido nada nuevo

I am not satisfied with the amount of information provided, I expected something more in dept. Health Across the Gender Spectrum should not only focus on the experiences of children below the age of about 12.

The advice given to healthcare professionals to make healthcare more accessible to the gender spectrum was too little and not very helpful as they stated the obvious. This course should not be aiming healthcare professionals but parents who are having an experience in this field. Only 6 minutes of this course provided information on healthcare settings and LGBTQI. We did not even scratch the surface of the matter.

Why did we not hear doctors' experiences and patient's experiences at all?

I am deeply disappointed at the way this course has been structured and the scope. It presents the transgender issue as one that is unquestionable, to be faced with full submission by healthcare and education professionals, and all of society really. No other approaches other than the affirmative one are explored. The videos are extremely sentimental, treating very serious matters as if they were something superfluous if faced with approval, but outraging if rejected. Bringing queer medics to talk on behalf of gender transition doesn't solve an issue that is affecting increasing numbers of children. This is just wrong on so many levels.

based upon the title of the course, I was

expecting a broader coverage of the topic.

Instead, the primary focus was on health of transgender children.

Perhaps giving this course a better name will help.

I was very disappointed in this course.

I wish citations would have been given so I could read more about the various claims made by the people being interviewed
