In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, Dalia Kinsey, a fellow black and an expert dietician, joins me. We are discussing Pronoun Mislabeling and Bringing a Space of Grace.
Dalia and I had an amazing behind-the-scenes conversation during her last visit, and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. So, we decided to bring her back for another engaging discussion.
Dalia’s work centers around BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, acknowledging the immense impact of chronic stress on their health and well-being. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and stress management, especially for those who face marginalization and discrimination in society. Her work aims to help people enjoy life despite the challenges they may encounter.
Today, our focus is on the complex topic of pronouns and gender identity. Dalia shares her personal journey, including a period when she didn’t use any pronouns. We explore the discomfort and challenges that come with mislabeling pronouns and names, highlighting the significance of setting boundaries and learning to respect one another.
We dive deep into the fear of making mistakes, the trauma associated with mislabeling, and the need for grace and understanding when errors occur. We also discuss the broader societal context, where visibility for transgender individuals is often met with resistance. Despite these challenges, we emphasize that inclusivity and acceptance are essential and inevitable.
We reflect on how similar dynamics of erasure and resistance play out in other marginalized communities, such as immigrants. Join us as we navigate the complex terrain of pronouns, gender identity, and the broader quest for inclusivity and understanding.
