Topics include the exploration of the difference between gender identity sex and sexual orientation, the examination of terminology, process and experience of transitioning gender identity, Trans history and current thinking in relation to gender identity. Finally, the relevant legislation to LGBT+ communities will be addressed and the impact of prejudice and discrimination will be explored.
