There was a community project where volunteers were asked to help create a safe space for transgender youth. One volunteer was specifically asked to be a sort of 'ally - in - training' focusing on transgender issues. They started by listening to the stories of the transgender youth, learning about their struggles with family acceptance, access to proper healthcare, and education. This experience led the volunteer to become very involved in transgender rights activism in their local area.
In a workplace diversity training, someone might be asked to step into the shoes of a transgender individual for a role - playing exercise. This could involve understanding the challenges they face in a professional environment, like using the correct pronouns, dealing with discrimination from some colleagues, and also the positive aspects of bringing unique perspectives. Through this, the person gains a deeper understanding and can be an advocate for transgender inclusion at work.
