To begin, individuals introduced themselves and shared what their pronouns are (what they prefer to be called: he, him, his, her, her, they or them, their , They). This immediately created an open and accepting tone for the meeting and has proven to be a common practice for every subsequent meeting. The pronouns we were told ensure that you identify as you choose instead of being labeled as something you are not comfortable with. This concept of identity was reinforced by the discussion of microaggressions in my first meeting. During our discussion we shared examples and personal testimonies of microaggressions that people have faced. I was shocked by how common actions and words, whether intentional or not, communicate hostile or derogatory slurs and slurs toward an identity. As people shared their stories in this meeting and the more time I spent with LGBTQI people, I found my perspective changing. I wasn't aware of the prejudices I had previously, but as I spent more time at the KC Potter Center I was able to recognize that I had been proven wrong. Understand that sexual orientation and gender identity are not necessarily solid or stable: they are or “can be” fluid or dynamic over the course of an individual's life
