Trans and Nonbinary Inclusive Language in the Workplace
In this expert session led by Levi Hord, the importance of using inclusive and gender-affirming language in the workplace is emphasized. Levi begins by discussing the concepts of biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and gender perception. They highlight that biological sex refers to physical and genetic characteristics (male or female), while gender identity is a person's internal sense of themselves as male, female, non-binary, or another gender. Gender expression is how one presents their gender externally through behaviors, clothing, body characteristics, voice, and more, while gender perception is how others perceive and categorize someone based on their appearance and presentation.
