Did You Know - 090 True inclusivity recognizes the intersectionality of identities. Disability intersects with other identities such as race, gender, and sexual orientation, affecting people's experiences.

Trans or Gender Fluid? 🌈 Understanding the nuances of gender identity can be complex, especially when it comes to children. The Human Rights Campaign offers valuable insight: consistency, insistence, and persistence are key indicators of a child's transgender or nonbinary identity. If a child consistently, insistently, and persistently expresses a gender identity that differs from the one assigned at birth, they are likely transgender. It's not just about occasional preferences; it's about a deep-seated sense of self over time. Moreover, children may not always have the words to articulate their feelings, but they communicate their truth through their actions and expressions. Let's listen, support, and affirm their journey of self-discovery. #davidsteinman #raisinghealthykids #didyouknow #booklaunch #toxinfreelife #healthyfood #healthyliving #PFAS #booksworthreading

Today and every day, we want to contribute to a fair and inclusive society and build a world where everyone can feel at home. This includes creating an inclusive workplace where people of all sexual orientations and gender identities feel welcomed, and are treated equally and on fair terms. ”Ensuring that our coworkers feel like they can be their true selves at work is highly important. In regular anonymous surveys, we ask our coworkers about their well-being and inclusion at work. Even with very positive results, we remain committed to continuous improvement, making sure no one feels the need to cover up or downplay any aspect of their identity at work”, says Teresia Palm, Chief People and Communications Officer.  On today’s #IDAHOT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we want to contribute to creating awareness about the day and the need for greater acceptance, inclusion, and equality for all people.  💖🧡💛💚💙💜 #idahot #ikanoforeveryone #fairandinclusive #inclusion #equality
