The study spoke of 'gender realignment', indicating a belief that gender can be altered surgically or medically, hence can be physical, yet insisted we must answer to the contrary, despite various dictionary definitions of gender, which state, for example -'the physical and/or social condition of being male or female, or (specialised) the grammatical divisions of masculine, feminine or neuter into which nouns, adjectives etc. are divided in some languages' The Cambridge International Dictionary of English (1995)To dictate we must choose one part of the definition for a political fad - or fail a test and potentially have our careers damaged - while themselves discarding the demand in the very same test - do as we say - is what might be called taking the pee? Inviting people to make a political answer they don't believe, or their career progress might be damaged, is corrupt, and might make people doing the test feel used. A further flaw to the study was a teaching that we should ask perceived to be 'effeminate men' or 'masculine women' for their pronouns, which might upset or offend. A good part of the study was advice to be kind and considerate, Rather than dictionary altering, dodgy political diktat; That advice might suffice?
My previous job did not include any trans or indeed LGBTQI+ awareness training or mark celebrations like Pride. Its really important and positive to see Downing taking this seriously and supporting their staff.
This course filled in gaps in my knowledge, particularly in terminology. I feel better equipped socially, more confident that I won't hurt someone's feelings.

This is an ideal course to train a whole organisation as it is high on relevant content and very easy to use. The format also makes it really straightforward to retain the core and most important information.Thank you.
Great
Sophie Cook's participation as an actor in the training and link to her TedTalk story was very powerful. It would be helpful to have more specifics on how to respond to Gender Identity discrimination, whether directly witnessed or through more subtle societal forms.
