SOLUTION

• Awareness

• Knowledge/Education

• Skills

• Action
SOLUTION

• Awareness - aware of who


you are, and how you are different from
and similar to LGBTQ persons.

• Knowledge/Education - persons in your


community, state and nation.
Understanding the laws and policies
that affect GLBT persons,
SOLUTION

• Skills - This involves developing skills you


need to communicate your awareness
and knowledge as an advocate. You can
gain these skills through attending
workshops & other ALLY training events,
practicing awareness-raising in safe
settings (e.g., with supportive friends &
colleagues).

• Action: The most important, & scariest


level. This step involves taking what you
know, and what you have learned & feel
strongly about concerning GLBT issues
and helping to cause change in our
society.
KNOWLEDGE

• Some girls have penises, some boys


have a womb and ovaries

• How is this possible?


• Androgen Sensitivites!
• Androgen Sensitivity Syndrome
• Congential Adrenal Hyperplasia
CAUSES

Education AND Awareness


Remember:

“STAND UP,
SPEAK UP,
SHOW SUPPORT”
CONCLUSION

• We are all human and due basic


human rights

• We all want the same things:


acceptance & expression, life pursuits,
happiness

• Let’s be aware of everyone being


hated and discriminated. No forms of
hate or violence are okay

• What if your child is born LGBTQ?


Would you want them discriminated or
attacked?

• Let’s practice acceptance for our


surrounding humans, who like us are
just born.
CONCLUSION

• At the end of the day, you are


not in control of the laws,
decisions of others, or change,
but

• You are in control of yourself,


and DO influence others and
the future

• Final Thought: If you are not


able to marry, hold hands, have
a child w/out intervention and
counseling, or are beaten for
being born the way you are,
what does your quality of life
look like?
