I would like to know more about LGBTs and as I am leaving in an Islamic country , I hope to help these high risk groups to be more accepted by others and be more healthy, sexually and mentally.

This course was extremelly easy and i feel if this course is aimed at higher education you shouldn't be able to complete the course in 20 minutes without reading or watching the materials.

I had expected a scientific approach from a University like Stanford. In this course, subjective, non-evidence based opinions are presented as facts.

Why not present honestly what is known and what is still being researched?

Informative, but VERY simplistic, esp for a Stanford course.

This was a great introduction to gender diversity and how to support transgender and non-binary individuals, especially children. The lessons are relatively short and to-the-point, and the messages are clear. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to learn more about the gender spectrum

I learned a lot about transgender, gender identity, and other terms that refer to gender non-conformity. I think this is important course to take so that one can learn about what the transgender people experience and how we can be accepting and supportive.

There is not nearly enough accurate information widely available about the transgender community. As a transgender woman, I thank you for this.

As the parent of a nonbinary child, this course helped me learn the vernacular of the gender spectrum and better prepared me for the inevitable conversations we as parents have with friends, family, educators and overly interested bystanders.

I took this course to better understand my friend who is currently transitioning. I loved the videos with the cute animations, and the Stanford staff interviews.

It was very interesting to hear the children and parent's experiences. It was a bit repetitive in some cases, but overall really interesting.

The course was very good at sharing stories of parents of children who are transgender, and one or two stories of people who transitioned as adults, particularly of Stanford professor Alice Lyman Miller. The course did not do a very good job of talking about Health Across the Gender Spectrum! The focus was entirely on social issues, not physical health concerns (such as expressing sexuality, cancer risks associated with hormone therapy, etc.) and an inadequate amount on mental health concerns (it was mentioned that there are higher rates of depression, anxiety, drug abuse, and suicide among transgender individuals, but not much was said about dealing with these issues apart from finding a support group. NOTHING WHATSOEVER was said about violence against transgender individuals, such as the appallingly high murder rate of Black transgender women. The testing was a joke -- one true/false question per video is not testing my knowledge! So this was just a nicely produced series of talks by privileged families who had the resources (including inclusive schools) to accommodate their children when they came out as transgender. I don't feel I learned anything about "health."

he aprendido muchas cosas que ignoraba, como los bloqueadores en la adolescencia, ahora que lo sé me parecen fundamentales. y una crueldad no administrar los tratamientos necesarios en la transición hormonal. es un curso ameno, completo, con una invitación a profundizar más en el tema, más desconocido de lo que pensamos y sabiendo que se pueden hacer tantas cosas que no requieren mayor dificultad que tener un poco de empatía, respeto y creatividad.

Excelente curso sobre el espectro de género y conceptos básicos de la comunidad LGBT. A pesar de que es un curso introductorio y de conocimiento general, el relato de los participantes niños, jóvenes y adultos trans enriquecen el aprendizaje y lo hace más cercano.

I would love to provide this course to the faculty and staff at the school district where I work. I felt that I had an understanding of transgender but I was wrong. I truly enjoyed this course.

This course is indeed informative. Being my first time on Coursera, I am recommending this course to anyone interested in knowing more about gender differences and how we can related with it.

Didático e empático, nos propicia uma visão ampla e clara sobre o acolhimento de indivíduos que não se identificam com o gênero que lhes foi atribuído ao nascimento.

This course taught me the basics of gender discrimination and how to adjust myself and people around me towards gender spectrum perspective.

IT WAS A WONDERFUL COURSE, I LIKED THE WAY EVERY LESSON WAS EXPLAIN, THE DIDACTIC MATERIAL, EVERYTHING. THANK YOU COURSERA

Agradezco los subtítulos en castellano. Me ayudó a informarme sobre un tema desconocido para mi.

Great course! It was very informative and helped me to view gender in a new light!
