This session will provide practical tools and information to help administrative adjudicators understand and address issues related to gender identity and expression that may arise in administrative hearings. We will discuss the current understanding of gender identities and pronouns, explain why it’s important to use appropriate pronouns, and provide tips on best practices related to gender identity issues. The session will explore concrete methods to increase access to people in these communities, including whether and how hearing officials should invite people to identify their pronouns, how to address individuals whose gender identity is unknown, what to do if an individual deliberately misgenders someone, and more.
