About the topic
As Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us wrote:
“It doesn’t really matter what a person decides to do, or how radically a person plays with gender. What matters, I think, is how aware a person is of the options.”
This workshop is for everyone interested in developing their knowledge and skills in working with transgender, non-binary and gender-diverse community members. Chai-Yoel will share some best practice and offer an intersectional approach to working therapeutically with gender-diverse communities. There will be some preparation work that Chai-Yoel will ask you to do the week before the session to bring with you to the workshop.
Chai-Yoel asks us to adopt the spirit of kindness and compassion. We will create a safe space together for mutual learning.
We will explore the following themes:
- gender, sex and sexual orientation
- barriers to services and increased vulnerability
- intersectionality
- the lived experience of trans people through case studies

About the Coffeelogue
This event is part of our ongoing Coffeelogue series.
The Coffeelogue is a space where we get together to learn and socialise, meet some new colleagues and find out what others are up to – as well as digest new ideas.
The term ‘Coffeelogue’ was coined by Doron Levene and Darren Cheek, to depict both causal and deep space that can occur in short and informal settings.
We hope to learn together and from each other in the form of a casual learning community in a friendly atmosphere.
The added bonus is that we structure it as a CPD event so you’ll be able to count it as CPD hours (a CPD certificate will be provided as well).
