Abstract

For some segments of society, transgender individuals are considered a social ailment. Subtly, the community shuns transgender individuals; crudely, they ostracize and intimidate them. The issue becomes complex as transgender individuals exist and live within society. The design and implementation team of the Community Engagement Program (PKM) endeavors to address the aforementioned issue by providing public communication training to a group of transgender individuals who are members of YSS (Yayasan Srikandi Sejati), a community organization that facilitates discussions leading to solutions for transgender society. A brief analysis reveals that the partners can leverage knowledge related to public communication to enhance their competency when interacting with the community. The intended knowledge encompasses an understanding of public communication practices, comprehension of the necessary components of communication to be employed during public communication practices, suitable communication solutions for transgender individuals during their interactions in society, and more. The objective of this team's PKM is in line with the purpose stated in the second paragraph of this Abstract.
