We are ending our first Pride month on Target Snarket with part TWO of our discussion with Julien Whitney from The Trevor Project! This week, we delve into questions on how to be an ally to trans folks from both the employee and manager perspectives. We explore effective ways to handle misgendering among coworkers while ensuring the safety and comfort of your trans employees. Julien shares valuable insights on what to do if you make a mistake, without placing the burden of comforting you onto a trans person. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of avoiding singling out any employee or coworker who identifies with a minority group when organizing diversity events. We also discuss the significance of mindful and inclusive language in group settings, without creating an "othering" effect for those who belong to these communities. 

Additionally, Abhainn shares their personal experience with their transitioning journey so tightly entangled with their professional life, we chat about how to join or create Employee Research Groups (ERGs) at your place of business, and Julien jumps on the ‘Call Out Abhainn for Dissociating' bandwagon, making his initiation into the Snarks official.
