LGBT month - This is a weird event to have during work time...

Whaaaaaat? it was eye-roll-inducing enough but then I got to:

"3D printing and wax modelling to represent transgender, intersex and cisgender perineal anatomy."
😮

If you were 100% a medical organisation, maybe, maybe, though it sounds like it's not a mainstream medical opinion being put forward at all - 'intersex' and 'cis' are not proper medical terms, are they?

It sounds very very weird.

edited to say that IANAEOP - I am not an expert on perinea😏- but I believe that LGB perinea are probably just like everyone else's, it's only the T ones that have been altered and are different.
Gives a whole new dimension to 'LGB✂T'!

Our work LGBT Network has invited us all to a talk during most people's working time (2-3pm on a Monday) that involves "A reflection on transgender and intersex inclusive anatomy education initiatives... including an EDI Biomedical Sciences project using 3D printing and wax modelling to represent transgender, intersex and cisgender perineal anatomy."

This is an event for a general audience. Most people where I work, do not work in anatomy or even in medicine, although a small minority of people do.

In fact, in the teams group where I saw it advertised, no one would be working in the medical field at all.

A web page with a list of events, this one included, has been linked to by our director in a regular email he sends to our department along with a recommendation to attend some of the events.

I know it's optional to attend but it just feels very odd to have this suggested as something I should be spending my working time on when it's completely unrelated to my work.
