Event Description:
The "T" in LGBTQ+ is the source of much confusion and mystery. If you are a healthcare, human service or education professional who seeks to understand this oft-misunderstood community, we invite you to attend our course. We will define, explore, and provide ample space for questions. Our props alone are worth a closer look! In this jam-packed and interactive approach to often confusing concepts, we will explore: • The difference between sex and gender, from both a biological and cultural standpoint. • The transgender legal landscape: current and future challenges. • The experiences/challenges of transgender youth. • The role of the professional in caring/advocating for the Transgender community. Instructors: Alexandra Hall, MD, is a family physician with extensive experience in transgender medical care. Trained at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the University of Vermont, she worked for Dean Health Care, Cornell University, and now the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She frequently conducts workshops and trainings for mental and medical health professionals on the care of transgender clients, both on a regional and national level, and has been involved in advocacy for improved access to care as well as appropriate insurance coverage for transgender people. Christopher Jorgenson currently serves as the director of the Women's & LGBTQ Resource Center at UW-Eau Claire. When not on campus, engaged in advocacy work and teaching in the Women's Studies program, he can be seen traveling around the state providing a variety of training programs, most notable: Safe Space Training, Sexual Assault Bystander Intervention Training, (Being) Sex and (Doing) Gender: The Difference and Why It Matters, and QPR & Campus Connect suicide prevention gatekeeper training programs.
