This VirTual Safe Zone Elective is an online five-week course addressing asexuality and intersex identities and issues. This course aims to

- provide the opportunity to engage in introspective or reflective thinking;
- engage individuals in discussion with one another regarding their own understanding, feelings, and experiences with the course content.
