Episode 11, Season 2: "Practical for Your (and Your Client’s) Pronouns: What to do when you or a colleague misgenders a client"
Guest: Dr. Jacob Eleazar
Why are pronouns important when working with your clients? Well, as this week’s guest, Dr. Jacob Eleazer, explains, misgendering clients is a form of medical harm, especially for members of the Trans* community.
As we all move toward greater awareness and competency when it comes to working with Trans* clients, mistakes will be made. In this episode, Dr. Eleazar provides some practical advice for responding compassionately and directly to examples of misgendering.
Also, in a P4P first, Dr. Eleazar and the crew demonstrate a few key techniques through candid role plays!
