I will be doing a talk on LGBT inclusion for you. This is a huge subject and I need to find a way to streamline it and narrow it down. What would you like me to talk about? Please go here and click on "ask me anything" to send an anonymous question: https://asksbaquestion.tumblr.com

You can ask any question that falls under the LGBT umbrella. Perhaps there is something you don't understand that I can explain. Or perhaps there was a time when you didn't know how to handle an issue, in which case I may be able to shed some light on it. Perhaps once upon a time you had the feeling that you did something wrong, but you don't know what it was, in which case my commentary may help you to get a better idea and avoid a repeat of the situation. I'll collect the best and/or most common questions and answer them for you. 

You could also suggest other topics that you would like me to cover. The message does not have to be phrased as a question.

All messages are completely anonymous. I cannot see the name or details of the person who sends the question. (If you want to be credited for your message, please include your name somewhere in the message.)

I was just wondering if you felt whether current  high-profile transgender celebrities has raised awareness and understanding, or played a negative roll? I'm thinking in particular of Caitlin Jenner. I read her autobiography, but I honestly don't know. 

2. I want to make sure that any support I give to students is genuine. Do you have any advise on how to do this in a genuine and non-patronizing way]]> 2018-06-21 11:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_attfield/pa7ts4d7zvdf/wish/268086860
