Abstract

Three scenarios involving LGBTQI+ populations are presented. Case 1 highlights an in-class interaction between a faculty member and two students. A female-to-male transgender student is misgendered by a faculty member in front of the class, resulting in the student leaving the session. A second student acts as an ally when approached by the faculty member about the situation. Case 2 involves a professional development session focused on creating inclusive environments for LGBTQI+ students. One faculty member presents her approach of avoiding knowledge of students' personal lives as an effective tool for protecting students and faculty. Case 3 involves an inclusivity training session that doesn't connect as intended with the audience, resulting in students who are disengaged. Prompt questions promote reflection on what transpired, its impact, and institutional resources to help faculty in building inclusive environments. Readers will consider how to address what transpired both immediately and in the future.
