Many people want to be supportive of trans and non-binary people, but get caught on the same difficult thought: “What if I make a mistake and hurt someone?”

It’s a common worry, and an understandable one. Most people do not want to cause harm, say the wrong thing, or make someone feel unseen or disrespected. But when that fear has too much power, it can lead to hesitation, overthinking, avoidance or silence - which can make allyship feel much harder than it needs to be.

In this free, interactive TransFocus webinar, we’ll explore one of the most common barriers to trans allyship and what it can look like to move through it. Using our Stress-Free Allyship approach, participants will be guided through a dialogue-based process that helps uncover the assumptions behind this fear, open up new perspectives, and build confidence in how to recover when mistakes happen.

This session is not about memorizing the perfect script, but about learning how to stay present, respond thoughtfully, and keep showing up even when something does not go perfectly.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why the fear of making mistakes can become such a strong barrier to allyship

• How hesitation and avoidance can get in the way of genuine support

• Why trans and non-binary people are not a monolith, and why responses to mistakes will vary

• How mistakes can become opportunities for learning, repair, and deeper relationships

• A practical inquiry-based method for working through this and other stressful thoughts

• How to recover after making a mistake without spiralling into shame or defensiveness

Why This Matters:

A lot of allyship education focuses on what people should say or do. That matters, but it is only part of the picture.

People also need space to work through the thoughts that keep them stuck. When fears about mistakes go unexamined, they can stop people from engaging at all. By learning how to question and move through those fears, allies can become more present, responsive, and confident in real interactions with trans and non-binary people.

Who Should Attend:

• Aspiring allies who want to feel more confident supporting trans and non-binary people

• Managers and leaders supporting diverse teams 

• Human Resources and People & Culture professionals

• Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion leads in organizations

• Anyone who has ever worried about getting it wrong and wants to keep learning

Format:

This is not a lecture. You’ll take part in:

• Anonymous live polling

• Facilitated dialogue

• Guided reflection

• Practical discussion grounded in real workplace experiences

Most organizations don’t think of their HR systems as a risk area—until something goes wrong.

A mismatched first name appears in a public directory.
An outdated title shows up in a client-facing document.
A gender field forces inaccurate or incomplete data.

These issues are often small on the surface—but they can quickly escalate into employee complaints, privacy concerns, reputational damage, or even human rights risk.

This free, interactive TransFocus webinar is designed for HR professionals, EDI specialists, and organizational leaders who want to identify and address the hidden structural risks embedded in everyday information systems.

You’ll learn how seemingly routine data practices—like how names are stored, how titles are assigned, and how gender information is collected—can unintentionally create friction, exclusion, and liability.

More importantly, you’ll leave with clear, practical strategies to strengthen your systems before issues arise.

Thursday, June 18

12:00pm Pacific / 3:00pm Eastern

What You’ll Learn:

• Where common breakdowns occur in HRIS, payroll, and internal systems

• How first name vs. legal name handling can create privacy and trust risks

• Why titles (Mr., Ms., etc.) often introduce unnecessary complexity—and what to use instead

• The most common pitfalls in gender data collection (and how to redesign fields effectively)

• Simple, defensible changes that reduce risk while improving employee experience

• How to respond when issues arise—without escalating the situation

“There Aren’t Enough Trans People to Change Anything.” Now What? 😬

The argument that there are “too few” trans people to justify cultural or structural change shows up frequently in workplaces, institutions, and policy discussions. It can sound practical—or even reasonable—while quietly blocking progress.

This free, interactive TransFocus webinar creates space to unpack where this belief comes from, what it gets right, where it falls apart, and how to respond in ways that move conversations forward. Through anonymous polls and facilitated discussion, we’ll focus on strategies that resonate with leaders, reduce defensiveness, and highlight broader organizational benefits.

12:00pm Pacific / 3:00pm Eastern

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish what’s accurate from what’s misinformed in the claim that there are “too few” trans people to warrant change.

• Respond effectively to leaders and decision-makers who raise this argument, using language that aligns with organizational priorities and risk considerations.

• Demonstrate the broader benefits of gender-inclusive cultural and structural changes, including positive impacts for non-trans employees, service users, and systems as a whole.

This session is designed for professionals who want to address resistance with clarity, credibility, and practical tools—without turning the conversation into a debate.

"All-Gender, Multi-Stall Washrooms Are Too Risky”… or Are They? 🤔

Concerns about safety, privacy, and risk often stall or derail plans to implement all-gender, multi-stall washrooms—especially in public, institutional, or highly regulated environments. This free, interactive TransFocus webinar takes a clear-eyed, structural look at what actually makes washrooms safe, where common assumptions break down, and how organizations can move forward with confidence. Using anonymous polls and facilitated discussion, we’ll unpack real objections, real constraints, and practical strategies that stand up to scrutiny.

Thursday, March 19

12:00pm Pacific / 3:00pm Eastern

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish what truly makes all-gender, multi-stall washrooms different from traditional women’s and men’s facilities—and why those differences matter structurally.

• Make a clear, evidence-informed case for how well-designed all-gender, multi-stall washrooms can increase safety, privacy, and usability for everyone.

• Respond effectively to common objections (e.g., safety, vulnerability, public backlash, compliance) with practical, risk-aware strategies that resonate with decision-makers.

This session is designed for planners, facilities teams, human resources, risk managers, and leaders who need more than reassurance—they need answers that hold up in the real world.

When was the last time you thought about gender and joy in the same breath? 

Conversations about gender often focus on barriers or difficulties, and while those realities matter, they don’t tell the whole story. Joy belongs in the picture too - in fact, gender joy can be a powerful solution to the challenges we face. Yet because it’s so rarely named, many of us have never paused to consider what gender joy actually looks and feels like in our own lives. 

We’re inviting you to this free webinar to explore what joy feels like in the context of gender - and to discover why it’s something everyone deserves to experience more fully. 

We’ll start by looking at what gender joy really means and give you space to notice it in your own life. This is a highly interactive session with anonymous polls and storytelling (for those who want). As we share stories and hear from one another, we’ll see where our experiences overlap and where they differ, and explore ways we can help each other notice and create more joy in our lives.

What you’ll gain

• A fresh perspective on the role of joy in navigating gender

• Opportunities to share and hear stories that expand your view of what gender joy can look like

• Simple, actionable ways to nurture gender joy in yourself and others

Who it’s for

This session is open to all gender identities—because everyone deserves a deeper connection with their gender and with what brings them joy. This includes people who are actively building inclusive culture in your community or workplace.

Spots are very limited—only 15 seats. Save yours now to be part of the pilot and help shape future sessions.

Lately, we’ve been carving out a little space each week for gentle, curious conversation.

It’s called Gender Espresso - a free online Q&A where we talk about gender diversity, trans inclusion and anything else you’ve been wondering about but weren’t quite sure how (or who) to ask.

It’s small, informal and welcoming. No slides, no pressure and absolutely no such thing as a stupid question.

We keep it cosy on purpose, so space is limited - make sure to save your spot!
