Diana Ellsworth: Yes, and there’s a lot of value in understanding the different challenges that different elements of the community face. Intersectionality isn’t just about differences in the experience of a lesbian versus a bisexual man versus a gay man. It’s also about, for example, members of the community who are people of color—the race or ethnicity they identify with and how that influences their experience. There’s value in the community coming together—in feeling like you’re a part of something and not an only. But there’s also a risk, because the experiences people have, and the barriers they face, can be different among different members of the community. But with these achievements, it’s hard to understand their failure in rising to commercial fame. Their relaxed use of harsh erotica and provoking the audience meant this gender-bending trio was shunned by the wider audience. These songs from their teens have become the main influence of their most recent album retaining the ‘essence’ of their early sounds. Australia 1994 ARIA Awards". ALLdownunder.com.

There are the bolder statements that can help create a welcoming workplace for all. Gender-neutral toilets, those without a sex assigned to the door, are a clear sign that gender is a non-issue. Once you get to the point of wearing only shorts, use caution. If you arch your legs too high or bend them to far, you run the risk of your anatomy spilling out. Lucia Rahilly: Bill, we’ve talked about inclusion on this podcast before, and you outlined a helpful model for understanding what inclusion means and how to think about it day-to-day. Would you briefly recap?A number of interviews focussed on the impact of employer-led diversity and inclusion networks (sometimes called LGBT+ networks, employee resource groups or affinity groups). Whilst these are very welco More than a third of LGBT staff (35 per cent) have hidden that they are LGBT at work for fear of discrimination. T he rise and fall of Men At Work is a tale of friendship forged in music and ruined by conceit, of small-mindedness stymieing big dreams, of what might have been but wasn’t because of that conspicuous human proclivity for self-sabotage.

While LGBTQ+ women make up 2.3 percent of entry level employees, they comprise only 1.6 percent of managers and even smaller shares of more senior levels. 5 Notably, the cohort size is small at such senior levels, so the hiring, promotion, or self-identification of a single LGBTQ+ female executive constitutes significant progress toward more equitable representation.

Barriers for trans people are likely driven in large part by the workplace environment they face. They are almost twice as likely to hear sexist jokes about people of their gender or to hear demeaning comments about people like themselves, and they are more than three times more likely to feel like they can’t talk about themselves or their life outside work. Lucia Rahilly: The pandemic has illuminated more of our personal lives, and many have talked about the benefits of bringing a fuller sense of themselves to work.
