One day one guy came from nothing saying: . I was like: what? Probably meaning lgbtq+ women. We were waiting the bus to bring us back home, we used to say many strong thoughts or very light ones, like imagining a delightful get-together on a milan terrace. He kept explaining that individuals assigned female at birth not only contend with the broader issue of gender discrimination but also, specifically in italy, any departure from traditional femininity is often met with derogatory labels like “shitty lesbian.” And other than that - in italy explicitly - the visualization of a less feminine woman is often seen as a “shitty lesbian”, addressing this derogatory label as being a gay woman is an horrible guilt. Embracing a self-expression that leans toward a more masculine presentation, be it in appearance - behavior - or overall demeanor, can be a powerful way to challenge these stereotypes. In a society where the expectation for women is to embody the perfect feminine image in all circumstances, any departure from traditional imaginary will sound stronger than any common man you would find everywhere. This guy is a friend from milano, who has personally confronted discrimination due to their sexual orientation, offered a compassionate perspective that left a lasting impact on me. These quotations provide insights into the nature of adversity, struggle, and challenges, underscoring the notion that all battles, regardless of their specific nature, can be equally demanding and transformative. In the broader spectrum of diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei), each of us finds a place. I sought inspiration from a specific segment of society and turned it into an open language that screams inclusion in a very simple way. It’s encouraging to witness more and more businesses recognizing the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in shaping workplace culture and the hiring process. Today, diversity encompasses a wide array of aspects, including race, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, and other marginalized identities.
