As the topic states, suggest topics for us to discuss! If a topic is chosen, I'll cross it off, mark off the date it was used and give credit for the one who suggested it.

Since we kinda started talking about it in the thread, maybe we could do a couple sessions about terminology?
Y'know, talk about the asterisk, whether or not to say "MtF/FtM" or not, the t-word, that kinda stuff?

I would appreciate terminology discussion. Besides asking "what are your pronouns" if I'm in such a social situation, I feel like I'm more and more clueless as to the appropriate written language, especially when that language is evolving by the day given the speed of the Internet and the growing understanding and acceptance of a gender spectrum.
I.E. - I thought "trans*" was a general all-inclusive, but it's not now?
Edit: I've got a nebulous idea of talking about handling the workplace, being judged, and how to overcome that without losing your job, but I'm unsure what the best way to present that would be....

First topic is online. You lead the charge. Jean Noh I would appreciate terminology discussion. Besides asking "what are your pronouns" if I'm in such a social situation, I feel like I'm more and more clueless as to the appropriate written language, especially when that language is evolving by the day given the speed of the Internet and the growing understanding and acceptance of a gender spectrum.

Edit: I've got a nebulous idea of talking about handling the workplace, being judged, and how to overcome that without losing your job, but I'm unsure what the best way to present that would be.... Maybe do a discussion on workplace things in general?

Sifen Yamishi Maybe do a discussion on workplace things in general? Yeah, I think that's for the best. Everyone has had different experiences from micro-aggressions to downright blatant bigotry and discrimination. Sharing how to handle situations may be helpful, especially for people in their first job or if the HR department couldn't care less about the "human" part of their title.

I'll let you lead the discussion for this one next week.

Please remind me if I don't get the thread going in time?

Thanks again for PM'ing me!
This doesn't have to be topic #3, or maybe this could be split up into multiple topics since there's a lot to it, but social media. Could include or even be split into stuff like:
- best trans*-friendly social media platforms (and what to avoid)
- safe practices in terms of disclosure and privacy
- meet-ups and maybe dating? I'm totally ignorant on this one sweatdrop
- reporting and handling harassment
Maybe over time we could even build a recommendations list to sticky on the forums.

I could see this being a long-term discussion in the Depot forum actually. biggrin How would you like to help Lawrence run that forum?

I'd be comfortable as a backup to Lawrence in that forum. My social media knowledge is not the best in terms of what's trending, plus school is threatening to kick my butt (my first round of tests are coming up and I have a team presentation to help create).
