44. Bridging Gender Equity: Connecting Women’s and Trans Inclusion
Efforts toward gender equity at work often run on parallel tracks... one focused on women, the other on trans and non-binary inclusion. But what happens when those tracks finally meet?
In this episode of Gender in Focus, Kai is joined by Erin Davis, award-winning inclusion strategist, to explore how bridging these movements can unlock real, lasting inclusion for everyone.
Together, we unpack why separating “women’s issues” from trans inclusion often leads to incomplete progress, and how shifting from 'who' we’re designing for to 'what' we’re designing can create shared benefit for all.
From inclusive washroom design to the evolving role of Employee Resource Groups, we look at practical examples of how organizations can move beyond silos and build systems that truly work for diverse identities.
We also talk about what gives us hope: the leadership of young people, the growing visibility of trans joy, and the power of shared values.
