About to attend my first "diversity and inclusion" work conference

[NewNameGuy]

I'll try to keep track, I have already seen the stonewall LGBTQIANCHDTHNCH word salad

Good luck! Please report back and be interesting to see who delivers it and what their angle is.

Registering here for the report back

You demand a safe space and a colour coded lanyard scheme to help you feel included.

OP do you want us to tie a rope around you so we can haul you out if you get stuck down the rabbit hole?

Jeez. Have you got some Valium to get you through the torture?

A friend who has been trough it asked lots of very polite and slightly puzzled questions. 'I must be missing something, I think, because I don't understand why...' 'But I thought sex was a protected characteristic so presumably we have to consult all the women in the building before making toilets unisex?' 'I'm just wondering how this fits with our safeguarding policy – I assume you've consulted those involved in that?' Ask whether lesbians and Muslim women have been consulted.

Patno that is very very helpful. I suspect I'll be in for one of these soon. I must memorise those questions.

Sex and religion is protected. And there are obvious clashes. The only ones who need education on this are those who organise such events. I suspect that this is all in collaboration with the union, if it exists, and stonewall.

Did it.

You know it wasn't half as bad as I expected, no mermaids presentation!

One great thing is that at least 3 times people either said or wrote sex, and i didn't see gender identity listed at all (just GR as per ea2010).

No live Q&A but I wouldn't have had the balls to ask anything anyway in front of 400 people

More notes later on a real keyboard.
:)

@placemats Google "islam is right about women" :D

That's good news. I was dismayed to have a request for my "gender" for my doctors online services today.

Drives me batty.

Well done op!
