Language is a part of how we shape behaviour in our society — and what we normalize as acceptable. For queer folks, language can also either be deeply affirming or extremely harmful. So what can it mean — and how does it impact folks who hold 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, both inside and outside organizations? This Pride Month, our latest blog post reflects on how our organizational practices can truly embody allyship year-round, with language as just one tool for belonging. Explore our full insights in our blog — and to all those celebrating — #HappyPride! 🌈 https://lnkd.in/eM_uqwwq

Professional trust isn't earned. It's chosen. And that choice doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's subject to all sorts of societal pressures, prejudices, and cognitive biases. That means if we're going to choose trust in moments with no perceived personal advantage, we must first commit to the concept of togetherness - the radical notion that none of us are in this alone. Even at work. When we make that commitment, something inside us might soften. And then we might choose to reach for another. Even if we think that they're Queer. https://lnkd.in/gdTrdYRu #gaymansguide

Akanksha talks about how they didn’t know an out queer person in their real life until their Grade 10. During this time, they found solace in online spaces in understanding what queerness meant, queer expression, and how they perceive queerness. This understanding comes from the content that they used to consume on the internet. During this adventurous journey, they felt they belonged in fanfiction spaces. Reading about non-binary and sapphic characters in diverse settings allowed them to explore their own queerness. Stay tuned to learn more about queerness and the internet 🌈🌐 #Queer #Internet #Expression #DigitallyYours #DigitalSafety
