Misgendering is often thought of as a simple mistake - a brief moment that can be corrected and moved past. But for many trans and non-binary people, misgendering can happen repeatedly in everyday interactions.

Over time, these moments can shape how safe it feels to speak up, participate, or navigate workplaces and social spaces.

In this episode, we explore what misgendering actually means, why it can feel like such a big deal even when it is unintentional, and how assumptions about gender identity and pronoun use are formed. We also look at why frequency matters, and what helps individuals and organizations build confidence in using more inclusive language.

If you have ever wondered why misgendering matters, felt unsure about getting pronouns right at work or in social situations, or wanted to better understand gender identity in practice, this conversation offers clear insight and practical ways forward.

Topics include: misgendering meaning, pronouns and pronoun mistakes, pronouns at work, gender assumptions, gender identity, trans and non-binary inclusion, inclusive language, allyship and inclusive workplaces.
