As I reflect more on my partner's recent swearing-in at the Supreme Court, I'm reminded of the importance of visibility in the workplace. When I first started at @hf.co almost three years ago, I was the only nonbinary person and the only person to use they/them pronouns.

- Advocate for inclusivity. Push for policies and practices that support different identities, and speak up when you see something that's not inclusive. - Support your friends and colleagues AND be willing to learn and grow alongside them.

“𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱” – 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗶 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻 Yesterday, I was in Washington D.C., with my partner, who is an attorney and open about being transgender at work. We were in our nation’s capital because he was being sworn in as an attorney at the Supreme Court.
