this topic was not something i knew to much about. But feel i have a better understanding having completed this training and feel i understand how to support this community.

Good quick course , again well set out.

This covers a pretty significant heft of trans issues which is clear and simple enough to grasp for anyone, though I am not convinced it would be any major assistance for many folks who aren't already following most of the advice given.

Unfortunately I found the training rather superficial in its approach. The mention of a third gender in India dating back to 4000 years ago was a nice addition, as it draws attention to the fact that being trans is nothing new (which is something many trans people unfortunately come up against when interacting with cis people, the idea that "this is all new"). I think a much broader and more detailed overview of the historical prevalence of gender variance across the world would have been useful, but with a clearer underlying message: that trans people have always existed, and been a part of every culture and society, in one form or another. The explanations around sex vs gender identity were clear, and it's important that the training included an explanation of trans as an umbrella term that does not always refer to people with binary identities. More emphasis could have been given to trans people's individual voices and perspectives. The training video
