The law, the legal profession, and culture at large have changed rapidly in recent years to recognize the voices, identities, and rights of transgender and nonbinary people. Learn what you need to know to work effectively and compassionately with those who identify in ways other than cisgender (and learn what that term means, too!).

Class covers:

• Concepts and terminology: the differences between sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation
• How to talk about these issues and to these persons in appropriate and respectful ways
• Creating space for gender diversity
• The personal experiences of lawyers who identify as transgender and nonbinary
• Cutting edge legal issues around transgender and nonbinary identities, including housing, employment, and health insurance
• Work through hypothetical situations to help put into practice the materials and tools learned in the program
