This was one of the best trainings I've ever taken; well worth all of the time I put in. I now have a much better idea of how to put together a resource list for my patients and also feel much more confident in writing letters for my patients who want to seek gender-affirming care. Great job! I'll definitely be recommending this training to other clinicians.

I loved hearing from trans and nonbinary people as one of the main ways of teaching; I felt like I learned in an emotional and fact-based way.

Amazing!!! I love how it was structured -- for a virtual, self-paced training it felt incredibly digestible, engaging, and interactive. The stories from providers and youth were memorable and helped bring the information to life.
