As the nation continues to pass more and more anti-trans legislation, California stands as a bastion of transgender healthcare and safety. This means we will have more transgender and gender-non-conforming students in our classes.
This may be why you are starting to think about how to increase the inclusion of transgender students in your classes.
Presenters Dani Crain and Jacob Traugott will:
- share their practices in doing this
- share the feedback they have received from students
- generalizing practices that can work for any class.
There will be time in the workshop to brainstorm how you may incorporate trans-inclusive language and practices in your classes.

Presenter
Dani Crain (she/they) is an adjunct professor who has taught anatomy and physiology within the Los Rios Community College District, Yuba Community College District, and Solano Community College since summer 2021. She has worked to make her classes inclusive, using online discussions to dive deeper into subject to learn more about the background of a lot of medical practices (examples include: the immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks, how skin color evolved and how few diagnostic images there are of skin diseases that include non-white patients, trans women athletes, trans-inclusive language, how heart attack symptoms in women are often different than those we see in men, history of care for people with spinal cord injuries, and race-based clinical assessments like estimated glomerular filtration rate or eGFR). Her goals (besides getting hired as a full time faculty member!) include educating all her students on the racist, ableist, and transphobic history or current events of medicine so they can enter the allied health fields ready for action.
