The groups have a primary aim of book discussion and socialization. However, since it is inevitable that youths will have questions and be seeking information, the instructor will base the level of information on the guidelines from the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Guidance of the World Health Organization. These guidelines state, in part, that information should reflect the most current medical and social sciences understanding and focus on promoting the values that all individuals are worthy of dignity, respect, and autonomy. Youth will be likely to discuss the concepts of how sex and gender are different, as well as different genders and sexual orientations. Youth will be guided away from explicit or overly personal sharing and the depth and detail of discussion will be kept within the concepts recommended by the WHO for 12-15 at the absolute most, with content most likely to be appropriate for all ages based on these guidelines.

I am a clinician with two+ decades of experience working with youth and families. I am a member of the LGBTQ community and am raising a transgender youth. 

宿題が提供されます
A book will be chosen for each class, with the input of youths in my various LGBTQ+ groups, and titles will be posted in the course description along with the date each book will be discussed.

Students will need to read the book on their own time before coming to class. Students are of course still welcome to join if class time comes around and they have not finished the book, but the intention is to have discussion among students who have read a particular book.
