“I was really impressed by the presentation and happy to see that the information that might seem controversial or surprising to us was taken at face value by the kids.”

About Us
Our Commitment
Gender Spectrum Education and Training is committed to creating a more supportive world for people of all genders. We do this by increasing awareness and understanding of the normal range of gender variations found in everyone.
Our society is now at a crossroads. Our awareness of natural gender variance and gender diversity is expanding. This awareness lets us see the need to support strong identity development across the full spectrum of gender expression. To do this we must acknowledge, examine and address the societal constrictions we place on gender. We can then identify and remove the obstacles experienced by gender variant people and their families, and work toward a world in which all of us are more free to be our authentic selves.
Whether you are familiar with gender variance or are just starting to learn about gender identity and expression, Gender Spectrum Education and Training can help with this process. We will assist you in understanding gender in all its complexities and variations, at any stage of life.
Our Services
Gender Spectrum provides education, resources and training to help you create a more gender sensitive and supportive environment for all people, including gender variant and transgender youth. We implement an accessible, practical approach based on research and experience to enable our clients to gain a deeper understanding of gender variance.
In a simple, straightforward manner, we help students, families, schools, and organizations understand and address the concepts of gender identity. We present an overview of how society currently defines gender, and how this restrictive definition can be detrimental to those who do not neatly fit into this rigid categorization.
