We’ve collated feedback from Transgender Awareness training sessions
by Cheryl Morgan, co-delivered with lived experience shared by other trans people to University of Plymouth in October 2020 and August 2022.
This is feedback from some of the participants in 2022:
“Brilliant, informative, engaging session.” Lindsay Badger
“The workshop was absolutely excellent. Cheryl, Harry, Paul & Max were approachable, honest and didn’t make anything seem like a silly question. This has definitely given me more confidence to support our students and ensure that my teaching continues to be inclusive. I will be sourcing additional materials to utilise in seminars after learning about the first hand experiences of the presenters and their access to and experiences of healthcare- particularly important for Nursing students.
I can’t thank you all enough for your time and dedication to educating us.” Chloe Dyer
“Thank you for this training, so important and so good to hear from you that the questions of pronouns are not top of the list always anymore! I loved that you had a younger trainer in the mix, brings a different perspective, he was great, you all were- it’s good to hear different perspectives…” Lisa Anthony
This is feedback from some of the participants in 2020:
“Such a great session, thank you. The facilitators were all excellent, their knowledge and willingness to share very personal and often difficult and upsetting experiences was just so honest and brave and I feel privileged to have listened to their stories (and also very angry at some of my fellow ‘humans’). The training has only emphasised how important it is for me to be a good ally.” – Claire Daniells
“Amazing training, I’d recommend to anyone! I came with a million questions and really enjoyed having a safe space to ask them. I never felt singled out or silly for asking them. The breakout rooms worked really well for me as I feel anxious speaking up in front of a large group, and it personalised the experience. Thanks so much all!!” – Sophie Burgess
“Fab course thank you. Very interesting and informative. This will help a lot working with students and recognising the challenges they are going through, but also with working within the equality and diversity committee. All staff were also incredibly inspiring.” – Clare Embling
“This is an incredibly valuable session. Thank you for your courage and willingness to share your stories.” – Amanda Young
