But which words do you use to refer to others and how do you know you’re using the right words?

The purpose of this panel is not to provide definitive answers, but rather to lay the foundation for attendees to start exploring these ideas. Whether you are deeply involved with these communities or are looking to learn how to be a good ally, this panel will give you something to think about.
