Look how far we have come with the adoption of more accurate descriptive words since then. How about gender? Are we moving forward here?  In this episode of PCTY Talks, Dawn Kelley and host Shari Simpson discuss: Understand the term “nonbinary.” Understand how gender expression is not a threat to traditional roles or personal standing.
