As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.
Let me be clear (a thread):
Those "all over the place" feelings you've been having? They are symptoms of stress, NOT personal failures of yours.
Do you feel FLAKEY + INCONSISTENT? That's b/c your brain doesn't know what news to brace for next, or what next month will hold.
Why is it important to pay attention today? The Supreme Court is gearing arguments to decide if weither or not a trans person could be legally fired for being trans. This is not just a “trans issue” a this a human… https://t.co/WdbRG0N81S
Before making a rainbow logo, companies should have to upload health care policies, which should include trans- and queer-inclusive plans for transitioning, all-gender parental leave &c.
If your policies don’t support the ideologies you parade, it’s performative marketing. 🤷🏼♀️
Let’s celebrate & remember what Pride month is all about - it’s more than buying commercial products w rainbow labels.
It’s about acting in celebration, acceptance, & solidarity w of people of ALL gender expressions + sexual orientations.

I had the privilege to sit down with @fraylie to discuss how I approach #inclusion from a product perspective to foster #belonging and drive more equitable outcomes.
Thanks to @vettery for the opportunity to share my experience!

Using correct identifiers and pronouns isn’t just about accuracy – it’s about affording all individuals the respect and dignity that everyone deserves.
By using non-gendered terms and asking for pronouns, we make sure we do not put anyone at risk.
Pronouns are a quick way to refer to someone or to ourselves: she, he, they, etc.
Pronouns are often (but not always) gendered, meaning they relate to a person’s identity.
Assuming someone’s gender can sometimes lead to misgendering.
When trans people are misgendered, they often experience fear, depression, invalidation, and even violence.
@KimiMoonsicle@maxmasure For some, being misgendered is already an act of violence towards their identity. Without talking about potential violence if a trans person is outed in a public space.
