Closed eyes exercise:
Have you ever experienced bullying or discrimination for your gender presentation?
-Think about the incident; what happened? how did it feel? did anyone else step in?
-Imagine it happening every day--even within your own self
If you were an active ally, what would you have done?
*Breakout rooms to share about those experiences*
Discussion:
What barriers might TGNC ppl face when trying to access services?
-Healthcare providers who don't know they're biased--parents can confirm the suitability of a provider
-Use of dead names on documents and healthcare systems, unintentional outing through healthcare providers
-Teachers' use of gender rolls in classroom
What barriers might you have in working with TGNC clients?
-Unsupportive families
-Personal biases
-Status quo
Journaling: How can I use what I've learned about today to make changes?
-Embrace all students where they are in their process of self discovery
-Continue to press myself to make changes around naming and gender ID in school systems
