Description
We understand parents and friends don’t always know what to say when their loved one starts dressing differently or wanting different haircuts. They turn to sometimes unreliable sources to find information on how to help but without understanding the fundamentals, these concepts are difficult to grasp, especially when every move you make affects the ones you love the most.
That’s EXACTLY why we created this course to help you understand the gender spectrum, and the science of being trans, get advice from trans experts, know your rights, and help you or your loved ones find their gender easier. We even help you overcome common debates like trans people using restrooms and being on sports teams.
Our highly accredited TV show, Powered By Rainbows™, and award-winning host, Matt Haslam (aka Professor Pride™) teach you everything you need to know about being transgender.
