6. Respectful Curiosity: Navigating Questions about Gender at Work

Curiosity is natural, especially when we want to understand the experiences of those around us. But what happens when that curiosity crosses the line into intrusive or uncomfortable questions?

In this episode, Kai and El explore the delicate balance between asking questions about gender identity out of genuine interest, and respecting personal boundaries - especially in the workplace. Trans and non-binary people often face questions that can feel invasive or inappropriate, and while it’s important to educate ourselves, creating a space where everyone’s privacy is respected is just as crucial.

Join Kai and El as they explore how to strike the right balance between curiosity and respect. They share practical tips for creating a workplace culture where sensitive topics are approached thoughtfully, and everyone feels comfortable setting boundaries. Plus, they discuss common mistakes people make and how to better navigate conversations without crossing lines.
