This course explores the concept of gender identity for people who are curious about the nature of gender, the process of gender affirmation, or changing social dynamics. Participants will learn the unique challenges faced by the TGNC population as well as develop the skills to build inclusive spaces in all spheres of their life. This course was developed under the Joycelyn Elders Chair in Sexual Health Education at the University of Minnesota.

TOP REVIEWS FROM WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO IDENTIFY AS TRANSGENDER OR GENDER NON-CONFORMING (TGNC)?
It's very interesting and excellent course that provides a comprehensive background of LGBTQ+ and their lived experiences.
The videos feel a bit cut-off a lot of the times, but if you ignore this then it's super informative and educating and well structured.
This course was amazingly informative. I have learned many new thoughts and ideologies. This new understanding will help me to help my students feel a sense of belonging, inclusion and understanding.
Gave me insight on challenges that transgender people have to face and how we can be of a support to them.
