Last year, the Supreme Court finally ruled in favor of workplace protections for LGBTQ+ people. And yet our LGBTQ+ colleagues–particularly Transgender and Gender Non Conforming People–still face daily microaggressions from colleagues and supervisors.
This workshop will help you understand how transphobic microaggressions show up in workplaces, and what your company, team, and individual colleagues can do to unlearn these biases and become true allies.
