**Gain familiarity with commonly used terms.

**Understand the developmental needs for those coming out as LGBTQ.

**Engage in dialogue about how to be an effective, proactive ally to the LGBTQ community.

**Receive information on local, regional and national resources about Allyhood and the LGBTQ community.

**Gain context about the relationships between trans and non-binary politics and feminist politics.

**Learn how attacks on women’s reproductive healthcare hurt the transgender community.

**Leave with a toolkit of how to make their spaces more inclusive of a variety of gender identities and expressions.
