…and challenge your assumptions at the same time.
💀 When meeting people for the first time, don’t ask about their ‘wife’ or ‘husband’. Ask instead about their partner/spouse.
☠ When someone is visiting their doctor and you want to know more, don’t say ‘what did he say?’. Either use ‘she’ (to demonstrate your lack of bias) or just use ‘the doc’ until you get confirmation of gender. Challenge your assumptions.
👻 If someone says they will get their EA to schedule a meeting, don’t refer to the EA as a ‘she’ until you have confirmation. Use ‘he’ if you have to – at least your listener will have his/her assumptions challenged at the same time.
