That however does not mean that the employees practice tolerance or acceptance. It does however give you a means to take action if/when problems arise. For most corporations you can find their diversity policy on their website. It's easiest to just go that route when you can.

It's very offensive to assume what someone uses as a pronoun.

It is always better to ask than to assume, as it helps the interviewee to know that you are dedicated to respecting them and their gender presentation, and it may serve to help them relax as well.TxC Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132741485703358362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365439307897197509.post-80593194580247049562012-03-01T00:07:58.209-05:002012-03-01T00:07:58.209-05:00I apologize for the delayed response. I personally...I apologize for the delayed response. I personally would go by what they represent themselves as. For example, if they appear as male (short hair, tie, using male pronouns in reference to themselves), then go with male pronouns and vice versa with females. I know when I did my phone interview, the person asked for me, and I responded with "this is he." He has never slipped on pronouns luckily, including when introducing me to my new coworkers. If he had asked which pronoun to use, I would not have been offended. I would have simply answered with my preferred pronoun usage (male). I will write about the next step, once hired and dealing with being misgendered, next week. I hope that helps you.

I typically try to use gender neutral language, but that can get awkward. Is it appropriate to ask for a preferred pronoun, or does doing so make it more awkward for the interviewee? My biggest worry is mis-gendering a potential employee and making them feel unwelcome before they've even started.shananananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038611695457630682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365439307897197509.post-70616312405685241342012-02-14T21:44:09.132-05:002012-02-14T21:44:09.132-05:00Right on!!!Right on!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365439307897197509.post-33855238623061831252012-02-09T22:15:20.537-05:002012-02-09T22:15:20.537-05:00Marley: Thank you for the feedback and I'm gla...Marley: Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad to know that you could relate to the article.

Your girlfriend and mother are not either, so why write from their point of view? You can write about how you view others dealing with your identity, but stay in the roght point of view. I am not picking you or your blog apart. I am only giving an opinion that I am sure a lot of us share.

I think you did a show at Sisters and some at Bob's and William Way. I loved his performances. They always were amazing!! Keep up the good work. Don't worry about people online trying to take credit for your work. You are awesome!!! I will see if I can dig up some old pics from back then.

I was given guys the idea of what drag names were. I <i>never</i> suggested anyone take another's name. If you actually read my article, then you would know that. <br /><br />Secondly, my drag name has been Chance Encounters since early spring 2002. It was something my Drag Daddy at the time helped me create based off my real(<i>legal</i>) name, Chance. New year's day 2006 (Jan 1st, 2006) was my last performance until this past fall when my friends talked me into making a comeback. My middle initial "W" stands for Wulf. I decided to give my drag persona a middle name on the comeback. <br /><br />Now, how about you not jump to conclusions or opinions on someone without all of the facts? If you would like to continue this chat privately, you can email me at Chance_Ecounters@ymail.com instead of on here where you will make a fool of yourself for blindly attacking another.<br /><br />Have a good day.Chance W Encountersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365439307897197509.post-52067019996405419312012-01-20T12:32:30.898-05:002012-01-20T12:32:30.898-05:00Maybe they should take a look at how they think th...Maybe they should take a look at how they think the other person led them on.

You then suggested people "google" that name to make sure it isn't taken. Chane Encounters has been taken and it is registered in th drag registry. "google" it. I also don't remember you asking my permission as you suggested.
