The landscape for creating a gender-inclusive environment is quickly changing as the words that young people specifically use to name and communicate their genders expands. In a 2017 poll conducted by GLAAD, for instance, 12% of millennials named their gender beyond the male-female binary. This 45-60 minute workshop will introduce participants to LGBTQ vocabulary and provide background information on and opportunities to practice using gender-inclusive pronouns.
