What is one thing you should do and one thing you shouldn't do to navigate the ambiguity of gender diversity?
Don't...
- Generalize one nonbinary or trans experience to another.
- Expect gender diverse people to do the work for you.
- Demand or make it required for someone to disclose their pronouns.
- Ignore your privilege and social location.
- Assume someone's pronouns or gender identity based on their gender expression or presentation.
Do...
- Do your research and expand your social feeds with gender diverse perspectives (Ensure you are doing so with an intersectional lens!)
- Offer your pronouns when introducing yourself in new spaces. This has the opportunity to create safety and an ambiguous invitation for folks to share their own pronouns.
- Ask questions in general! Be respectful and lead with curiosity but learn from your gender diverse peers!
- Support your gender diverse friends, family, and colleagues by offering yourself as a safe space of communication.
- Listen to, believe and amplify the voices and experiences of trans and non-binary people of colour.
