    I agree. The assumption seems to be that we stop diversity at cis gender...any thought to go further than that seems to come as a surprise. The staffing behind policy and program design must reflect our diversity.

    Replying to @HerleenArora
    When staff who work in social sectors have this kind of mindset, it makes me very concerned for the internal culture and thinking that goes into the design of policies, programs and services.

    I found this resource and like many things am feeling pulled. On the one hand, I think this is such a valuable recognition that this will be a hard transition for many students and on the other hand wondering about the impact on students mental health.

    *Trigger Warning* As a settler on this stolen land. I'm embarrassed that it took the discovery of 215 children's bodies to make me finally start learning about residential schools. This is not ancient history. It is living intergenerational trauma.

    It's been a trying weekend. This will be a whole thread. Sorry for people who like bite-sized consumption.

    Sending love and prayers to the BC First Nations families affected by the recent discovery of the mass Residential School burial site. No we will not “get over it”. It’s real and the dark cloud hovers over Canada.

    As a white male he states "This brings us to the “POC” part of the acronym. This is slightly less important, but the term traditionally used in Canada is “visible minority.” And apart from being American, “person of colour” is not very popular among those it used to describe."

    This prof argues that BIPOC is a bad term for discourse on race in Canada... But wait. It gets cringeworthy.
