...and today is Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). I did not see a notice on my company's intranet page. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ employee group and haven't seen group meetings recently. I need to check into that. My company has an extensive training library and I would expect there is material for supporting LGBTQ+ peers (and general bias materials for LGBTQ+ employees and peers alike) although it's a little tough to navigate.

I'm sad to admit, I didn't know it was TransAwareness Week. However, I am pleased at how inclusive my employer is for all LGBTQ+ individuals. We are a healthcare organization that fosters a culture of inclusion and covers things like counseling, hormone therapy and gender affirmation surgery. We are designated Leaders in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality by the Healthcare Equality Index. I have always been proud to work for a place that offers these things. But now I will let them know they need to promote TransAwareness Week! No matter how good we think we are, there is always room to grow and learn:)
