Showing Up for TDOV
Happy Transgender Day of Visibility Day (TDOV)! Today is a time to honor the contributions of your transgender & nonbinary (trans) colleagues.
One of the best ways to honor this day is by doing your part to show up as an ally - a person helping to build a more gender inclusive workplace.
This matters given that nearly 100 anti-trans bills are being considered by the majority of states targeting the health & well-being of trans children.
What do trans children have to do with belonging at work?
According to the Harvard Business Review, “25% of Gen Z - Zoomers - expect to change their gender at least once during their lifetime.”
This means the future of work will become increasingly nonbinary, and it’s up to us to prepare…today.
So where do we start? Consider taking at least one of these actions in honor of TDOV, and commit to taking more throughout the year:
Self-Educate. Participate in one of the Transgender Training Institute's virtual webinars and support their sustainability campaign.
Change Systems. Commit to building gender inclusive systems, policies, and practices by taking the Higher gender inclusion audit.
Invest in Trans Leaders. Donate to the Trans Justice Funding Project, and support trans leaders moving & shaking the world.
During these challenging times, trans people need committed allies. This starts with taking simple actions to show up for your trans colleagues.
Taking one of these actions can put you on the pathway to serving as a strong trans ally. Together, it will take all of us to build belonging at work.
Want support as you build a more gender inclusive organization? Consider giving this webinar a close watch, and then enroll in our Belonging Membership Community!
