Pride in Sport - Trans and Gender Diverse Awareness

WHAT

Pride in Sport will be conducting this interactive training for Staff and Volunteers of Member Organisations in an effort to provide formal professional development opportunities on the inclusion of Trans and Gender Diverse people in sports. 

The aim of this session is to provide participants with an overall understanding of binary and non-binary gender experiences and identities as part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The session will explore the complex nature of gender identity and gender affirmation processes (transitioning), provide a level of comfort around terminology, outline some of the unique challenges often faced by transgender and gender diverse employees and how to support an employee/participant affirming their gender in your sport organisation. The session will also provide awareness on the impact that culture has on the lived experiences of its participants regardless of their gender identity.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Participants will:

• Understand the diversity of, and differences between sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation
• Understand some of the lived experiences and unique challenges faced by transgender and gender diverse people and the impact to sports organisations
• Respond to some of the common views, stereotypes or misconceptions attached to gender diversity. 
• Understand the role that individuals play in creating a more inclusive culture in supporting an employee/participant through gender affirmation (transitioning) in the sports setting 

Further information (including log-in details) will be provided to each participant in the days leading up to the session. These sessions will be delivered via Zoom.
