  1. Your regular reminder to please #challenge and correct, vocally, confidently, and often, the #cisnormative narrative.

    #Cisnormativity is a structure of privileges, assumptions, and oppression that organizes social power around gender identity where cisgender people (those who identify their gender with the sex they were registered at birth) and ideas are placed at the top above all others.

    Degenderize -everything-. Only refer to #gender where you are 100% certain of the gender identity after having asked or been told. There are no gender roles. Cis-women are not the only people who give #birth. Men (cis or not) can get #breastcancer. #Toys and #clothes have no gender orientation. Challenge yourself when you are about to refer to something referencing 'men' or 'women' to find a #genderneutral alternative.

    It's not as hard as people think. #BeBetter
