MOOC-0102 – Relearning Gender

Relearning Gender

The topic of gender inclusion is something that many of us are learning, or relearning. This course will help you understand gender diversity and how to approach the topic of creating safer spaces for the 2S/LGBTQIA+ members of our community.

Even as a gay man I’ve found myself struggling, in recent years, to understand gender terminology and how we need to move away from the Golden Rule I lived by all my life into the world of the Platinum Rule. This course helped me open my eyes to the points of view of others.
