Discussion Board

Below are some questions to help guide your discussion on the oppression of individuals who are LGBTQQIPA2+. Provide answers to each question below.

  1. Identify 3 take-aways (important things to remember) from this week’s recorded lecture and explain how you will apply these reminders in social work practice.
  2. In the video, Heteronormativity – Today’s Homophobia, how does the speaker describe heteronormativity and its effects.
  3. In the video, How I help transgender teens become who they want to be, what does the speaker explain is the 12, 16, 18 hormone plan? Why is this knowledge important for social workers?
  4. In the video, This is what LGBT life looks like across the world, which individuals story was most interesting to you and why?

Note: Respond to at least two other classmates questions, then provide a rejoinder to at least one comment on your own original post.  The point of this is to facilitate an actual back-and-forth discussion so you’re interacting with the course materials, with each other, and with me. To give your colleagues enough time to respond, please make your original post by Wednesday, and responses/rejoinders are due Sunday by midnight.
