msepostdoc-list FW: Trans & Non-Binary Employees and Workplace Harassment Webinar Today

[Son, Rosemary E]

Hey everyone,

As many of you know, we have and have had members of our department who identify outside of the gender binary<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_binary>.  If you are interested in being a better ally to your friends and colleagues, please feel free to check out one of these webinars hosted by lawyers and experts in the legal field.  Also a reminder – if you ever feel alone or need to talk to someone at any time please know I am LGBT-identified and I am always here to help.  From the site: this webinar will clarify the legal rights and options that transgender and non-binary employees have when dealing with workplace harassment, including how to get help when harassment happens.
