Transgender-spectrum people face escalating barriers to gender-affirming care (GAC) under MAGA-aligned federal and state governance, where policy is punitively designed to make access logistically, financially, and legally risky.

Burleton Education can help you navigate these barriers to the benefit of your patients.

State bans and restrictions—especially targeting minors and pediatric care providers, but increasingly affecting adults through clinic regulation, licensing rules, and insurance limits—shrink provider networks, forcing families to travel long distances, wait months, or forgo care altogether.

At the federal level, hostile agency guidance threatens to cut Medicare and Medicaid coverage, and efforts by the politically compromised Department of Justice narrow civil-rights protections, chilling hospitals, clinicians, and surgeons even in states where care remains legal.

This results in a patchwork system where access depends on ZIP code, income, and insurance, with disproportionate harm to low-income people, rural residents, undocumented populations, disabled people, people of color, and those without supportive families—compounding dysphoria-related distress and undermining continuity of medically indicated care.

Depending on the customizable learning module selected, learning goals may include:

  • Reviewing current best practices and clinical guidelines from leading, evidence-based professional associations.

  • Exposing anti-trans, “gender critical” disinformation about gender-affirming care.

  • Reinforcing foundational understanding of natural variations in gender identity, gender expression, and gender attribution.

  • Explore the impact of implicit and explicit gender bias on patient outcomes and the workplace environment.

  • Review of best practices for inclusive communication, including pronoun use and gender-affirming language.

  • Review of policies and procedures that may conflict with federal or state anti-trans policies, laws, or statutes.

  • Examine real-world scenarios and case studies to apply learning in practical settings.

These interactive workshops are designed to equip healthcare professionals with the non-medical knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide respectful, affirming, and equitable care to patients of all gender identities and expressions.

Why It Matters:
Gender-diverse individuals—including transgender, non-binary, Two-Spirit, and gender nonconforming people—face significant barriers to accessing safe and inclusive gender affirming healthcare (GAC). From misgendering to systemic (and institutional) discrimination, these barriers lead to poor health outcomes and reduced trust in healthcare systems. Culturally competent care is essential for improving patient experiences and advancing health equity.

Depending on the Module Selected, Learning Goals Include:

  • Expose governmental and special-interest group disinformation about gender affirming care.

  • Build foundational understanding of gender identity, gender expression, and related terminology.

  • Explore the impact of gender bias and discrimination in healthcare settings.

  • Learn best practices for inclusive communication, including pronoun use and gender-affirming language.

  • Review policies and procedures that support gender-inclusive care.

  • Examine real-world scenarios and case studies to apply learning in practical settings.

Who Should Attend:
These workshops are ideal for physicians, nurses, mental health professionals, administrative staff, and all healthcare team members committed to fostering a more inclusive and affirming care environment.

Format Options:
Available as a half-day or multi-session format, the learning modules can be delivered in-person or online (via Zoom), and they can be tailored to meet the needs of specific departments or facilities.

Transgender History

While it hasn't always been called "transgender" or even "transsexual", the history of self-identity and expression that diverged from the restrictive expectations of misogynist, patriarchal, and mythological expectations dates back to before recorded human history. This learning module explores what we now understand to be natural variations in gender identity, expression, and developmental human sex biology.

Gender Diversity in Education

Gender diverse (nonconforming) students have been visible to educators in classroom settings for as long as there have been spaces in which to learn. Dating back to Sumeria in 3,000 BCE (well before Plato, Aristotle, and certainly Horace Mann) the education of youth and adults was delivered to diverse populations.
So, why is gender diversity in 21st-century classrooms treated as new?
