Scenario

When teams struggle between inclusive naming practices and cultural accommodation

Our nonprofit team is split on whether to use people's chosen names and pronouns in all our community outreach materials when some of our board members say it will alienate the traditional families we serve, and I'm watching us compromise our values while calling it 'cultural sensitivity.'

More people experience this than they realize.
