TRANSGENDER MATTERS
These days most people know what you’re talking about when you say you’re transgender - the surface level stuff at least. Do they really understand what it’s all about and the impact it has on an individual’s life?
The strain it can put on relationships with family and friends
The battles to get the medical support needed
The constant negative press articles
Trolling online
Cruel and hurtful comments in the street
The fear of hate crime
This is all before they even turn up at work. At this point the workplace can either amplify these challenges or become a sanctuary of support.
Sophie transitioned (male to female) in 2011 and Danielle has been on this journey alongside her. Our lived experience gives us unique insights into what it's like to feel like you don't belong, not just at work but, in society in general.
Both Danielle and Sophie have also worked professionally in HR/People Culture field for over two decades having both led in-house Diversity and Inclusion functions. Sophie has also held a pivotal role in the National Trans Police Association and has been consulted by Stonewall and the BBC for her expertise. More recently she contributed to the new ‘Transgender and Non-Binary inclusion at work’ CIPD guidance (copy can be found below).
