Very excited that our paper summarising census findings of the Australasian genetic counselling workforce is now out!
We took a close look at workforce diversity, inclusion, inclusive practice, and capacity.

Not seeing this shared so thought it would be very important to post. I commend Jennifer for speaking up, it is so difficult to raise these issues in such a small profession. #gcchat smh.com.au/national/cardiolo…

We acknowledge the many non-Aboriginal people who support us and are also hurting with the referendum result.
Thank you for your solidarity 💪🏽
This graphic is mob and ally friendly.

Complimenting someone’s spoken English skills because *you assumed* they don’t speak English well is NOT a compliment.

“I got an abortion because I didn’t want a baby” is reason enough. You don’t need another reason. YOU DON’T NEED ANOTHER REASON.

The National Fragile X Foundation shared exciting news! The FMR1 gene has been renamed & now stands for fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1, removing the reference to outdated & offensive terms signifying intellectual disability.

If I ever become pregnant, I'm going to throw a gender reveal party and reveal that gender is a social construct. I will have slides, and there will be a quiz.

Virtually every abstract I’ve reviewed for #NSGC2021 thus far has used gendered language. #GCchat, get your act together and tell your students, cohorts, mentors, & colleagues. Refer to our “Ensuring Equitable Care” tip sheet & have a nice, gender-affirming day. @NSGCPrenatalSIG

Taking the 2nd day of Pride month to say that the A in LGBTQIA+ means asexual and aromantic.
It does NOT mean allies.
Aro aces are valid, whatever their sexual/romantic preferences might be. Them being aro ace makes them part of the community by default.

Calling all GCs in #GCChat. Does anyone have a link to a fact sheet which explains autosomal recessive inheritance in Dari? Please share to signal boost. Semi urgently needed.

ATTENTION
Chromosomal sex, sex assigned at birth, and gender identity are three entirely DIFFERENT things. Yes, most of the time they are concordant; however, discordance does not negate the experiences and gender identity of that individual!
