Episode 24 | A Journey of Disclosing a Non-Binary Identity | ft. David McDine

The modern workplace is one that must create safe spaces for employees to live their truths and be their authentic selves. In the case of David McDine, this safe space provided by their employer as they came out as genderqueer was a life-changing experience. David McDine is the Director of Strategic Initiatives at NAIT and walks us through their journey of coming out as genderqueer, how their employer put on a masterclass of allyship and how the experience has been so transformative. 

Note: The conversation was largely about David’s personal experience. They touched on terminology in the LGBTQ+ community in the discussion but wanted to ensure our listeners had access to more detailed descriptions.
