  • 15: Intersex Inclusion at Work: Why Adding the 'I' Isn't Enough
    Apr 9 2026

    In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Dr Bree Gorman is joined by Paul Byrne-Moroney to unpack what meaningful inclusion of the intersex community actually requires.

    Paul shares his lived experience to challenge common misunderstandings about intersex, including the tendency to conflate biological sex with gender identity. Together, Bree and Paul explore why intersex is not a gender identity or sexuality, and why that distinction matters.

    This episode calls out the gap between intention and impact when organisations use the full LGBTIQA acronym without engaging the intersex community. Bree and Paul discuss how this shows up in practice, from conference presentations to the use of Pride flags, and why adding the "I" without consultation is not progress.

    This is a practical and honest conversation about moving beyond performative inclusion, being transparent about your scope, and building approaches grounded in genuine engagement, accountability, and respect.

  • 14: It's More Than Pronouns: Building Real Trans Inclusion at Work
    Mar 26 2026

    In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Dr Bree Gorman explores what meaningful trans and gender diverse inclusion actually looks like inside organisations.

    Bree challenges the common starting point of "rolling out pronouns" and explains why visibility initiatives alone do not create safer workplaces. Instead, real inclusion requires organisations to examine the systems and structures that shape people's daily experience at work, including HR databases, payroll systems, policies, and the ways identity data is collected and used.
    Drawing on their experience supporting organisations across multiple sectors, Bree explains why gender affirmation policies are a foundational step for protecting trans and gender diverse employees.

    This episode is a practical conversation about moving beyond good intentions and building workplaces where trans and gender diverse people are genuinely safe, respected, and supported.
