​What to expect at a PSI-I webinars

• Webinars are scheduled to accommodate the time zones of its presenters and organizers. 

• These webinars are typically 90 minutes long.

• Academics, clinicians and/or advocates will talk about recent research and events. 

At the start of each webinar, everyone will be reminded of the need for safety, to use language thoughtfully, and thanked for showing up in trust.  The event’s host will remind those attending what we expect from them to support this ethos and to respect the speakers and other attendees:  

• mute your microphone and post your questions in the chat during the talks. 

• keep your camera on if you can (but this is never required).

• You do not have permission to record or capture images of others by virtue of being here.

If at any point you need to step back—turn off your camera, leave the meeting, or take a break—please do. Your wellbeing matters. If you have any questions or concerns during the event, a member of the steering group will be available throughout the session for private conversation in a breakout room.

As we come together to learn from and with people with lived experience of variations in sex characteristics, we acknowledge that discussion can be complex, contested, and at times uncomfortable. At the same time, we value the international and multi-disciplinary nature of our events. We hope you’ll stay to engage with the diversity of perspectives in the room. Whether we succeed or fall short, your feedback is welcome and valued—please don’t hesitate to share it with us.

We aim for PSI-I webinars to be open for thoughtful exchange and realise that joining live isn’t always possible. Time-zone differences, work and caring responsibilities, and language differences can all make it harder to attend or to catch everything that happens the first time.

Accordingly, we’re beginning to add live captions to our webinars. Also, until Summer 2026, we are trialling recording our webinar speakers (where they consent to be recorded).  We will only ever record presentations, so that the Q&A discussions remain live, open and exploratory. We won’t post these recordings on the web either, but PSI-I network members can request access for personal use up to one month after the webinar. Network members who would like to use a recording in any other way (for teaching, sharing, or citation) should contact the speaker(s) directly.
