Workshops and Trainings

I’ve developed training for medical professionals on a range of topics, from basic trans 101 to trans adolescents to nonbinary transition (my favorite, of course). I present my own workshops at national transgender conferences such as Gender Odyssey (2012-2016), Philadelphia Trans Health (2012, 2013, 2016), and Gender Spectrum (2012, 2013, 2018).
A recording of my NonBinary Transition workshop is available, as are the slides for my NonBinary Youth session.
Other workshops and presentations are available here.
