Hi, I myself am a transgendered female and I found your article very insightful and helpful. I currently live in The California Bay Area “which is very liberal”, and I find that the 10 steps that you have mentioned are great ways to have an all inclusive work environment. My only concern is that it would be awesome if more states adopted a liberal mindset toward working conditions. I moved here from the south, and even though they are learning, they still have a long way to go.
Great article, Nico. Society is transformed by just a handful of people willing to take steps like these. Thanks for sharing all this information. It’s difficult to find schools or even primary healthcare providers that are inclusive of transgender people. Being gainfully employed in an inclusive environment can have a huge positive impact on the mental well-being of transgender people.
My parents’ friend is struggling and wants to raise an equality about transgender healthcare because of the discrimination she had experienced on a clinic earlier. So we’ve researched for similar cases as we stumbled upon your article. It’s awesome that this article talked about when it comes to transgender workers and other marginalized groups, true inclusion means more than creating a more diverse workplace. It is also important to ensure that organizations treat all employees equally in terms of opportunities, benefits and day-to-day experiences when they go to work.
I enjoyed very much this article, it’s not just about "checking the box" to appear to others as "we are inclusive", equity, inclusion, must go beyond educating ourselves and be more active about meaningful and impactful actions that lead to tangible results in all aspects that nurture our humanity and place in society.
