Gender Identity & Expression Training Reviews

Certain phrases in this training are very out of date and are not accurate. No one is assigned a gender at birth, sex and gender are different and no one is assigned a gender at birth; sex is observed generally before birth and recorded at birth.

What does this have to do with H&S or improving the workplace? Seems like a box-ticking exercise.

still a bit confusing

Straight out of the Stonewall-approved, activist playbook. Political opinion presented as fact, with absolutely no tolerance of alternative opinion and certainly no room for nuance or biological fact. But worth doing for a glance into the utter insanity of the world we currently live in - and you’ll learn plenty of new gender neutral pronouns that you probably didn’t even know exist!

Most Maytree volunteers will probably already be familiar with this material - although some of the gender-neutral pronouns were new to me. The danger is that people tend to to stop paying attention, especially when the interface compels them to play each video through to the end. I think this course should have addressed some of the common criticisms made by those who do not accept the fullest interpretations of trans rights - because these are still live debates, even among those who are militantly opposed to discrimination in every other field. I would personally prefer the option of reading the content rather than watching it on screen. I think online comprehension tests are good, though. What is really needed is carefully at expertly facilitated discussion among people who trust each other in a space of acceptance and kindness.
