    Why gender inclusion? Pronouns, language, and believing women

    In this episode of "Breaking the Binary," Sarah and Arden dive deep into the importance of gender diversity in the workplace and beyond. Our discussion covers critical topics such as the distinction between sex and gender, and the true meaning of gender diversity—it's more than just including women. We explore the significance of using the correct pronouns and how language plays a powerful role in reinforcing social positions. We'll also discuss practical approaches for fostering a more inclusive environment, including gender-neutral terms for addressing groups, and why it's crucial to treat women and gender-diverse individuals with respect by genuinely listening to their experiences. We challenge the conventional approach of questioning why women aren’t applying to your organisation, instead flipping the narrative to consider what your organisation offers women and gender-diverse people, and why they would want to work for you. We hope you find this episode interesting, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.  Don’t forget to visit Coded Diversity’s ⁠website⁠,⁠ LinkedIn⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ and ⁠Meetup⁠ for more information and to show your support.
