Though i currently work with teens and young adults, I have many people in my care who are identifying with different gender identities, some with family support and some without. In an atmoshpere of trust, some are reaching out for support ands acknowledgement of this difficulty as it impacts their daily lives. This training gave an excellent perspective of the different situations and histories that may affect clients and emphasize the need for inclusive language without judgement.

Thank you for covering a topic many need to understand more deeply. Hearing the definitions explained well, as well as different real examples of the misunderstandings and real unkindness/lack of acceptance helps pin this to reality. People in close-minded communities always think there aren't any LGBTQ people, but of course there are. I also appreciated the short historical survey to demonstrate why LGBT people may very well be hesitant to out themselves, especially in conservative communities

Some of the information in this session is now outdated, ie. using the term "preferred pronoun" or "preferred name", rather than simply "pronoun" or "name". The course was listed as intermediate but seems like an introductory course on LGBTQ+ info for work with older adults. Love having the representation though!

Dr. Kathleen Weissberg presents with clarity & conviction, practical means to provide inclusive & trauma informed care to LGBTQ seniors. Human sex & sexuality is a topic that is shamefully neglected by healthcare professionals and egregiously so by Occupational Therapy in the USA. It's June 2022. I did a search of the 550+ courses on OccupationalTherapy.com looking for CEU's in human sex/sexuality. Only five courses relate to this dynamic aspect of the human existence. 3/5 are Weissberg's.

I appreciated the historical context for LGBT experience. Overall it gave important info but as a transgender man who also is an OT and who presents on Trans health it was frustrating to hear her say "Transgendered" and then see it in the test. It also seemed lime she was a bit uncomfortable saying things about trans people and gender identity because she paused or cleared her throat or changed her tone when mentioning trans people. She also mentions a number of important systemic changes to support LGBT people including equal rights legislation but didnt address how gender identity is often not included which creates a real fear that discrimination will be tolerated. I also think tje presenter should consider using tje Genderbread person graphic or similar to support basic terminology training to demo strata terms more clearly. That said, for folks who need an intro I think this course is adequate.

Modelling of respectful language throughout, repetition of key concepts, recognition of ways we can be doing better with clear action items to consider; use of examples (throughout plus the scenarios at the end) and resources; the lifespan review of Susan's social and legal environment in the USA through her life really gave a valuable perspective.

by

First of all, there were plenty of wonderful things about the course that I appreciated. The historical perspective provided good background and context. I also appreciated that the definition for bisexual was accurate. It also made me fully realize how recently the right to marry was affirmed by the government and how amazingly new it is that I was able to marry my wife a few months ago.I did, however, find many things problematic. I offer this feedback respectfully as a fellow OT, a member of the LGBTQ community, and a long-time activist.1. The repeated use of "transgendered" instead of transgender. Being transgender is an identity and does not require the -ed suffix. This is highly offensive to many trans people.2. In the story about the presenters coworker who was transitioning, the presenter *repeatedly* used he/him pronouns to refer to the person who was very clearly using she/her pronouns and right after saying if you make a mistake, address it and apologize, did not address the misgendering and did not apologize. This could be at best very confusing for people who are beginners to this information and at worst set a bad precedent of misgendering. Also, referring to pronouns as "male" or "female" is also not appropriate. I was highly disappointed in the sharing of this anecdote, which was handled poorly and seemed far more to be a self-aggrandizing, pat on the back moment than a relevant teaching tool.3. It is outdated/offensive to say "preferred" pronoun or "preferred" name. Calling it a preference invalidates the importance of using the correct pronouns and name and implies that it is a choice to use these. In the earlier 2010's, this was how we referred to pronoun use, but it has been widely requested by the trans community to stop using that terminology. 4. I think it would be beneficial to spend more time in a structured explanation of what pronouns are. I have found in my activism and teaching about gender that this is where many people get confused and need practice. It is such an important thing for trans people but such a difficult thing for most cisgender people to use the correct pronouns. It deserves more attention.5. I found the organization of the presentation overall a little scattered and difficult to follow. The definitions were in a strange and confusing order. I feel it would make more sense to define gender identity, gender expression, transgender, and cisgender before broaching the subject of non-binary identities. There was also a lot of repetition of ideas or statements that was not fully necessary. It feels almost as if parts of this presentation were not thought through fully and/or thrown together.
