Description
For many of us, transgender issues are new territory and the concepts related to gender diversity may feel overwhelming or confusing.
Gender Diversity Basics course consists of brief video clips explaining terms, concepts, and how to respectfully interact with transgender people, including pronouns and recovering from mistakes. It is interspersed with reflection surveys and quizzes to assess comprehension. It takes about one to two hours to complete.
Facilitator: Kai Scott
President + Gender Strategist, TransFocus Consulting Inc.

Kai pairs his technical skills from 15 years as a social scientist conducting social impact assessments with his lived experiences as a trans man to develop innovative solutions for greater inclusion of gender diversity. He uses exploratory, evidence-based methods and quantitative and qualitative tools—like interviews, surveys, systems reviews and spatial analyses—to develop solutions that create real, measurable change.
