LGBT+ History Month – Everyday Transphobia

This February, the Leadership Academy is partnering with MindOut, a mental health charity dedicated to improving the lives of LGBT community.

This training session will explore complexity of transphobia in theory and in practice, in addition to the discourse around contemporary transphobia and it’s impact on the state of trans healthcare in the UK, intersectional trans identities (i.e. the interaction between holding a trans identity & race, class, disability, and neurodivergence). Delegates can look forward to exploring unintentional vs. intentional vs. systemic transphobia, medicalized transphobia, racialized transphobia, transmisogyny, transmisgynoir, and more.
