How do you refer to your students? Taking the time to rephrase our binary language is so important! Using gendered language that doesn’t include all of your students is harmful, especially over the course of their educational career. Think about feeling othered or left out every day…week..month…the entire school year. Learn more in our chapter on “Daily Gender-Inclusive Practices” from our new book Gender Inclusive Schools!

I see you!

"Chappell Roan is one of today’s most talented and adored music stars and her dedication of her Best New Artist win at the MTV to drag artists, q***r and trans people, namely q***r youth in the Midwest, is a crucial moment as it puts our community front and center on a global stage. Roan's words on the VMA stage have the potential to reach an audience who may be less familiar with the LGBTQ community. It's truly inspiring to see that along her meteoric rise to stardom, Chappell Roan is proud to show her identity as a q***r woman in music and is also deeply committed to uplifting voices from all parts of the LGBTQ community." -GLAAD's Vice President of Communications and Talent, Anthony Ramos
