Taking this course is one of the best decisions I made this summer! The sheer volume of narratives and stories of human experiences helped me understand the concepts and theories more deeply as well as empathize with LGBTQ+ persons on a more emotional level. Each resource is carefully chosen and has contributed immensely to my understanding of each topic. Kudos to the instructors for putting this course together so masterfully!

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to not only take this course but be exposed to the wealth of knowledge that both lecturer's provided as well as the interviews and resources that were made available after every lecture. I am not from the USA so that exposure was fantastic and I feel far more well rounded and educated and more so,mindful when talking to any individual Thank you very much.

This course has helped me immensely in understanding about LGBTQIA+ community and it also helped in busting a lot of misconceptions that sometimes go overlooked even within the movement. This has changed my perception of looking at the world which often is branded as existing in binaries which is simply a social construct. The explanations were intensive, and highly informative.

The course helped me to understand in a multifactorial way the aspects related to the discussions that address the theme of gender and sexuality, from a historical, cultural, social, biological and psychological perspective, broadening my view on the specific theme and realizing the importance and need to talk about Sex Education in schools and in the academic curriculum.

I think this course is fantastic, despite the fact that I'm a medical practitioner who works with transgender patients I found it very educational. Also, I was very skeptic about whatever political views the course might have offered and got to say that I couldn't be more wrong: the way the course presents the gender issues is clear and aseptic. Very recommended.

This was an amazing experience to learn about a community that I am part of and didn't know about. This is also going to help with a career decision I made, so now I will be able to understand the students better. Thank you for creating this. If a book based off this ever comes out let me know would love to be able to share what I learned and have the hard copy.

Eaxctly what I needed! I'm currently studying to be a sex therapist and there's a major lack of informations about LGBTQ+ reality, informations, etc.. And this course helped me to have a solid base regarding queer reality and LGBTQ+ reality. This course is really complete and I would like to thank my two teachers ; Dr. McWilliams and Dr. Mohrman!

It was very educational and thought provoking. I feel like this kind of knowledge shouldn't be restricted to the academic world, it is something everyone should know and understand. I appreciate that the teachers belonged to the queer community themselves. If everyone knew about this, it would make life easier for queer people.

This was a very well developed course with clear learning outcomes and activities and assessments that were in alignment with those outcomes. The two course instructors were great--welcoming, professional, and engaging--and the readings and videos were helpful for providing not only content but multiple perspectives and voices.

I have learned a lot from this course and have gained new insights into queer community and become more aware at issues in my locality as well. The teachers are just amazing and there's lots of readings as well for those who wants to explore further and build on ther existing knowledge. Thank you for making this course happen!

I would like to thank both instructors for this enlighting and informative course. Even though I work in the field of institutionalised implementation of gender equality, I had some gaps. Through this course, I managed to clarify crucial terms and to become able to propose more inclusive policies on gender equality. Thank you!

The course was very interesting because it provided a wide variety of resources in various formats. It gave me a better understanding of the challenges faced by the lgbtq+ community through it's history as well as a the evolving vocabulary which is useful both in understanding and talking about the subject. Thank you so much

Not only does this course do a good job at dissecting the history of queer identity, but it also leaves a lot open ended as this is an ever-changing topic. The resources that they have prepared for additional reading are amazing and allow us to dive into the topics that interest us the most.

A very informative and interesting course. I learned a lot of new things in this course about the LGBTQ+ community. Highly recommended by everyone who wants to know more about the community. The instructors were also really nice and very well aware regarding the subject at hand

The structure of the course was systematic and the course itself was very resourceful. As a student, it enabled me to know more about queerness, sexual diversity and inclusivity. The reference reading materials and videos were really useful, Thanks for offering such a course.

This course is a great overview of theory regarding LGBTQ+ issues, history and further matters. As someone who is already into the topic, this course still was useful to get topical lectures in various domains and I also learned some new things. It was great!

It is a wonderful course. Before joining the course I was confused about the LGBTQ issues and its theories. Now i have a lot of resources and reading material provided by Coursera. I can expand it in my research. Thank you very much for the insightful course.

I really love the two teachers who have always been so devoted and open about many aspects of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation among other topics. They project a sense of hospitability and that makes me feel so enthusiastic to continue this journey!

This course was fantastic, i was a very close person, and aldo i didnt understand the new gender and some topics about de LGTBQ+ comunity, but with this cpurse i can lear more about those topics and have a more information to understand a lot of people

As an ally of the LGBTIQA+ community, I am very grateful to have been able to be part of this course. It has helped me to question myself and to strengthen the way I raise my young children, so that they can live in a free and loving way. Thank you!

The course lived up to its objectives of creating awareness about sexuality and gender identity. It helped develop understanding about the latest issues and challenges in the queer space and provided great online resources to learn more on the topic.

The course is an absorbing and informative take on the subject. The topics intrigued me to explore furthermore and contemplate deeply. The reading materials were helpful and educative. It contextualizes the radical aspect of the queering identities.

Taught me quite a bit about a culture that I have lived in for over 50 years. I mistakenly believe “I knew a lot about the LBGT+ culture”. I was wrong. I am much more savvy about the LBGT+ world and the changes that continue to happen with my world.

This is an excellent course, and I highly recommend it! I define as a member of the LGBTQI community, and still learned a lot of new information. I also really appreciate the accompanying links, videos and reading for further study. Thank you!

I really loved this course! I am apart of the LGBTQ+ community, but it is extremely helpful and interesting to learn more about Queer Theory/History, as well as how to approach others that are of a different orientation or sexuality than myself.
