Last night I had the pleasure to hold an online Trans And Nonbinary Awareness session at global law firm Dentons. It was night-time for me since we broadcasted live to HR and D&I teams in AustraliaContinue reading “About last night”

Dankeschön an Kirsten Steinke, Rebecca Mattick und Ioana Ogreanu für die Einladung und die super Organisation! Es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht mit Euch!

Some thoughts on ComingOut Day 2021
Today marks #ComingOutDay. Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans people who dare to do be out with regard to their sexual or romantic orientation and/or gender identity, either for the first time or as a repeated act for #LGBT+ visibility. But why is #ComingOut still important? Don’t we (LGBT’s) have what we want and need? Yes, in many countries LGBT+Continue reading “Some thoughts on ComingOut Day 2021”

Geschlechtergerechte Sprache
Was ist eigentlich geschlechtergerechte Sprache? Ein Aufreger, “Gedöns” für viele, selbstverständlich noch für wenige. Aber was ist das nun genau? Und was ist geschlechtergerecht, -inklusive und -neutral und warum ist das wichtig? Wenn auf Englisch jemand sagt “Draw a pilot”, werden die meisten einen männlichen Piloten malen.
