When LGBTQ+ employee groups can't agree on priorities

Our workplace diversity committee includes me and two other trans and non-binary employees, but we keep disagreeing about what changes to prioritize first because our needs are so different - pronouns, bathroom access, health benefits, dress codes. We're supposed to represent 'the LGBTQ+ perspective' but we can't even agree among ourselves and I'm worried we're going to be seen as unable to get our own house in order.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Being asked to represent a community reveals how much individual needs can diverge even within shared identity categories.
