Supporting LGBTQ+ Coworkers: 01. Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation
Learning objectives
- Gain an understanding of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Course overview
Gender identity and sexual orientation are two totally different things, contrary to what many believe. For example, if someone is transgender, many people automatically think that they must be gay. This simply isn't the case. In this course, we'll define and discuss the differences of these often-misconstrued concepts. We'll provide an in-depth explanation of the various types of gender identities and how those are often expressed. We'll also talk about how people identify their sexual orientation, and the terms associated with that.
