Diversity in gender identity
Photo by Alexander Grey
Gender identity is someone’s personal concept of self as male, female, a blend of both, or neither.
Someone’s gender identity can be the same or different as their sex noted at birth.
- We cannot tell gender identity by how someone looks or acts.
- Teams can make it safe to share what pronouns people use.
- Some people may not be ready to share their pronouns.
- When unsure, it’s always safe to use the person’s name.
