Rikki Arundel

The recent increase in the visibility of transgender celebrities has encouraged and inspired trans people of all ages to “come out.” And not just people changing gender. Many more people now identify as neither male nor female - defining themselves as gender non-conforming or gender non-binary. This means that everyone is increasingly likely to encounter trans and gender non conforming people as friends, colleagues, or customers. The challenge is knowing how to engage with them comfortably and avoid inappropriate questions, comments or behaviour. This highly engaging and entertaining presentation will help everyone to better understand and engage with trans and gender non conforming people and create a more diverse and inclusive, and therefore more profitable, work environment for everyone.
