Got lots of resources now particularly for Transgender<sup class="glossary-indicator" title="The term transgender includes the broad range of people who all experience atypical gender identity development but the way they express their gender roles may vary widely. Some need to express an alternative gender role only occasionally. A relatively small number of others experience transsexualism, which is the overwhelming need to transition to live permanently in the role that conforms to their innate gender identities. GIRES, for example, uses the term “trans” to describe those who are undergoing or have undergone transition. An individual transitioning from the male to the female role would thus be a trans woman, and one transitioning from female to male role would be a trans man. After transition, many of these individuals prefer to be and, therefore, should be, regarded simply as men and women. Transgenderism has had different meanings over time, and in different societies. Currently, it is used as an inclusive term describing all those whose gender expression falls outside the typical gender norms; for example, those who cross-dress intermittently for a variety of reasons including erotic factors (transvestism), as well as those who live continuously outside gender norms, sometimes with, and sometimes without, medical intervention.

We are asking staff and students to dress in rainbow colours and having a cake and sweet stall to raise awareness for LGBT groups of people in the college. We have rainbow flags and displays of posters and books in both the learning resource centres&nbsp;and a slide show of LGBT quotes and rainbow designs on the media boards and around the college during February LGBT history month.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>It's great too that we can celebrate the posthumous pardon of the great mathematician and computer wizard (and enigma code breaker for WWII ) Alan Turing, who lived most of his young life in Hastings.&nbsp;We are naming our new Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) TURING and the road to one of Susex Coast College Campus is called Turing Way, in his honour.&nbsp;</p> http://www.equalitiestoolkit.com/content/raising-profile-lgbt-sussex-coast-college#comments EDIF project Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:07:12 +0000 Bobbie 1164 at http://www.equalitiestoolkit.com Raising the profile of LGBT http://www.equalitiestoolkit.com/content/raising-profile-lgbt-0 <p>Completed initial survey and chosen group of people, staff and students, to partake in LGBT project.
