Jokes, Banter and Trans Inclusion: Finding the Sweet Spot at Work


Listen Later

Workplace humour - essential for team bonding or a fast track to HR? We all love a bit of banter to get through the day, but what happens when the joke is at someone's expense? All too often, trans and non-binary people find themselves as the punchline of jokes that make the workplace anything but inclusive. In this episode, Kai and El unpack the fine line between laughing with your colleagues and laughing at them. Are we all too sensitive these days, or are some jokes just... not that funny?

Let’s talk about humour that actually brings people together- because no one should have to choose between fitting in and feeling safe at work. Plus, a special treat (or warning?): Kai drops the ultimate dad joke. You’ve been warned.
