    Was very informative in an engaging and thought provoking way. Would be a useful course for more people to take.

    Great for anybody who wants to start learning about the topic.

    Interesting also for people like me who already knew almost everything the course teaches because it helps to organize the information we have in a more scientific way. Living in Italy I know that there is a great difference between how this topic is (not) faced here and how Us schools try to include and talk about this topic, so this was interesting also from a cultural point of view. I know a lot of people here who even deny that transgender children exist and this short course made me realize even better that we must act now and change the way this topic is faced in schools (because it isn't, right now i Italy).

    The approach is very broad with relevant and clarifying content on the differences in gender identity and spectrum. At times I was moved by the stories, my perspective changed significantly.
