Are you mindful of the pronoun you use when hearing a description of an individual by their profession only?
Example: "My friend works as a secretary".
I would refer to such friend by 'they' in this conversation, whereas I've heard others immediately use 'she'. #genderbias

Also just using “they” to avoid gendering them, for they might be non-conforming!

We don't use that word at all in the UK. I only hear "administrator" or similar. Helps.
