This chapter will cover the following topics: LGBTQ+ history, key terms, gender non-conforming, and e-learning attrition issues facing LGBTQ+ students. The purpose of this chapter is to present issues facing gender non-conforming LGBTQ+ students in the higher educational online system. This chapter presents best practices on how to create an inclusive and encouraging e-learning environment in order to increase matriculation rates. One strategy, amongst others, is on how to be more inclusive in Zoom rooms, using circumlocution, to switch from gender binary language to gender neutral language.
