I loved every aspect of his course. I am someone who has a very substantial foundation of knowledge towards the Queer community, but this course taught me a lot more than I haven't thought about yet.

This course taught me the new variations about LGBTQ and its diffenert arenas. It taught us how biological, sociological and psychological concept plays important role in determind the definitions.

A real eye-opener. Was weird taking this at first, especially I had preconceived conclusions about the instructors themselves, but as I went along, I got to see past that. The approach is very academic - video explanation, followed by reading material. Thanks for this course!

The only portion I would change would be able to see my results on the testing. I took the free course, to learn and understand non binary for my step offspring (she/they). I really wanted to make sure I got it right.

This is a perfectly lovely course and you both did well 😁

the course was really good and I know knowledge about the LGBTQ+ community which I didn't know before, but I have an interception about the way they adapt the religion part in the course hope they change it.

Excellent, and very helpful to me, but the language/punctuation in the transcripts is sometimes very confusing. Often failed to make sense. Thank you for the education on LGBTQ+ issues.

This is necessary information if you are out in today's world. Times are changing. I ran into this and was clueless so I was thrilled to find the class.

It is a great course. However, you shouldn't have to pay to take the quizzes.

First, thanks for course. Second, i would be lying were i to say that i've found all the arguments and evidence presented in this course convincing. i mean, i do agree about with what they said about social construct and intersectionality, but some other points i've found it was easy fro me to come up with a counter-point, or afind a contradiction in the arguemets.

An example would be the claim that sex is not biological, and using intersex people as an evidence for that, coupled with the lacks of certain traits in some males and females that are usually present in these two sexes, like beard in men, or soft voice in women.

My objection to this is, the existence of intersex (which population is only 0.018%, not 1.7% like Dr.Jacob claimed) does not change the fact that the vast majority of people are primarily born with either a penis or a vagina and they usually do their biological function with no problems, so just because an extremely tiny percent of he population are born intersexual, does not falsify the fact that people are biologicaly born in extremely high percent either males or females. But it can break the binary system of sexes, but only in tiny fraction of it.

As for the lacks of traits in some males or females, my objection comes from understanding "Wittgenstein theory of family resemblance", so not all the traits that are usually associated with men have to be present in a certain man in order fro him to be considered biologicaly one.

The course had a lot of complex terminology and abstract concepts about social constructionism and queer theory which were difficult to grasp and not explained in the most helpful way.

Links are out of date & non-existent. No feedback from peers or input from students, instructors or otherwise. Although quiz marks are available immediately, often state "Correct!!" under the red Incorrect or vise versa (had this happen at least 2x), some quiz questions even popped up PRIOR to that knowledge being shared with students in the curriculum?! In this course, expect to be on your own, read/listen-only & expect some of what you learn to contradict itself.
