Welcome to your intro to gender and
sexuality seminar where you guessed it.
0:18
We'll be breaking down some questions
you have about gender and sexuality.
0:23
You may have asked yourself,
[SOUND] what are pronouns?
0:28
[SOUND] How do when, and how to use them?
0:31
[SOUND] How does this apply to tech?
0:35
[SOUND] Or what does inclusion
look like for these identities?
0:37
Well, today we're going to
answer those questions together.
0:41
Whenever we educate ourselves on equity,
diversity and inclusion,
0:46
we may get a little nervous or
uncomfortable.
0:50
I get it, that's okay.
0:53
I encourage you to lean into that today,
so that we can learn more about gender and
0:56
sexuality as it relates to our peers and
ourselves.
1:01
Before we jump in,
I wanna share Community Foundations.
1:05
Think of these as guidelines
to the content and
1:09
conversations you may have
with folks in the future.
1:12
[SOUND] Be open to new ideas and
perspectives.
1:16
Some of this information may be new
to you, you may not agree with it.
1:21
Try to challenge yourself to learn
something new and lean into empathy.
1:25
[SOUND] Recognize and name your triggers.
1:31
Some content may bring up feelings for
you, good and bad.
1:35
It's important to check in with yourself
while learning about equity, diversity and
1:39
inclusion.
1:43
If you need to, pause and take a break.
1:44
[SOUND] Brave Space.
1:47
I personally don't like to use the term
safe space, instead, I use brave space.
1:51
I asked you to join me in creating a brave
space where we can step into discomfort,
1:57
be supportive, and authentic.
2:03
[SOUND] Trust the process.
2:05
This simply means trust where
we're going in this training and
2:08
be as present as possible.
2:12
I know there may be distractions
happening around you, but
2:14
embrace this opportunity to learn and have
fun throughout it, this is essential work.
2:18
Are you ready?
2:24
Let's start by discussing
gender in the next video.
