Did you know that being transgender is different from sexual orientation? As part of our Trans 101 series, we’re addressing common misconceptions about transgender experiences. Remember: Gender identity and sexual orientation are separate aspects of a person's identity Transgender individuals can have any sexual orientation Each person's journey is unique In our professional environments, fostering an atmosphere of openness and willingness to learn can greatly support our trans colleagues and partners. #WorkplaceDiversity #TransgenderAwareness #InclusiveWorkplace #ProfessionalDevelopment

In light of Transgender Awareness week, I dove into how employers can make their workplace more inclusive to support gender identity. Make sure to give it a read!

In August, we recognize and celebrate Intersectionality Awareness Month. Intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, helps us appreciate how various aspects of identity—such as race, gender, sexuality, ability, and socioeconomic status—interact and create unique experiences of privilege and oppression. By embracing this concept, we not only acknowledge the complexity of individual experiences but also enhance our collective efforts toward inclusivity and equity.

This important day of recognition is a reminder to us all that equality and equity is necessary for all.

Trans or Gender Fluid? 🌈 Understanding the nuances of gender identity can be complex, especially when it comes to children. The Human Rights Campaign offers valuable insight: consistency, insistence, and persistence are key indicators of a child's transgender or nonbinary identity. If a child consistently, insistently, and persistently expresses a gender identity that differs from the one assigned at birth, they are likely transgender. It's not just about occasional preferences; it's about a deep-seated sense of self over time. Moreover, children may not always have the words to articulate their feelings, but they communicate their truth through their actions and expressions. Let's listen, support, and affirm their journey of self-discovery. #davidsteinman #raisinghealthykids #didyouknow #booklaunch #toxinfreelife #healthyfood #healthyliving #PFAS #booksworthreading

Intersectionality acknowledges that individuals can experience overlapping forms of discrimination or privilege based on multiple aspects of their identity, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. By understanding these intersections, we can create more inclusive environments and address the unique challenges faced by people who belong to more than one marginalized group. Recognizing intersectionality is key to fostering a society that embraces and supports everyone fully. #Intersectionality #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #SocialJustice #MultipleIdentities #LGBTQInclusion #DisabilityRights #GenderEquality #RacialJustice #InclusiveLeadership #MinorityVoices #IntersectionalFeminism #EqualOpportunities #BreakingBarriers
