Time to relax and get ready for tonight’s #OTalk with @75rebecca and @EdenDowers #OTalk 27th February – Trans, non-binary and gender identities in occupational engagement. https://t.co/NraKyrvHTz… via @OTalk_ https://t.co/sBOj6tvq7y |
 | Jackie Lunn @jackie_lunn First time on #OTalk - will probably lurk in the background! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome - here to help if you get lost #OTalk https://t.co/S2HgpRAxB5 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1. #OTalk https://t.co/m6L3x07VoM |
 | Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK I’m here #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget to put the hashtag is every tweet, so people can see them and it’s only 1 T #OTALK https://t.co/MNCApBiYF1 |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello people! #otalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @75rebecca @EdenDowers I have not had any OT experience with trans or nonbionary service users however I know some transgender people ☺️ #OTalk |
 | Eden Dowers @edendowers @margaretOT360 Great to have you onboard for tonight's discussion! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ More so with working with colleagues than service users. #otalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers Good evening everyone (and warm greetings from Australia!). Time for the second question from @75rebecca and myself: what roles can OTs play in supporting trans and non-binary communities? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_rach: |
 | sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ Fairly! I’m part of our allies group at uni- although more so with student & staff than service users #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks for sharing hannah. #otalk https://t.co/cg9RKFIaAr |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT On a side note, I watched this TEDx talk to prepare for this topic today. https://t.co/qn783oNPSg #otalk #lgbtq |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @amyruby_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget the hashtag #OTalk https://t.co/RjnUTEUUif |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @OT_Francesca @75rebecca Hello! Thank you for your tweet! Here in Australia, both for myself and my trans-identified friends this experience is commonly reported too! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @75rebecca And for this question- for OT folks who belong in this population, we should encourage them to not only educate us, but also to public. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @75rebecca And another thing we can do- set positive examples when we have placement students! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @75rebecca: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @OT_Francesca @75rebecca And there is also a strong community on Facebook in a 4OT group called LGBT4OT. #otalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @margaretOT360 Absolutely, thanks @margaretOT360 ! I feel there is a great opportunity for OTs to collaborate and advocate for more inclusive systems and procedures for gender diverse communities #OTalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @colourful_ot @75rebecca Hi @colourful_ot ! This has been my experience of study also. I was really fortunate to get in touch with @75rebecca, whose poster presentation I stumbled upon in a google search that addressed this very question- where are the OT voices for trans-positive practice.#OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @margaretOT360 And as for me (as I consider myself as an online influencer/thought leader), supporting causes by influencers from LGBTQ+ community is also important. #otalk |
| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @OTalk_ I have never worked. I mean not at all familiar. #OTALK |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @margaretOT360 My experience too #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @colourful_ot @75rebecca One OT I know- @djakikoluv belongs in this community too. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HannahtheOT @colourful_ot Or the fact that the LGBT4OT group needs greater visibility. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @75rebecca: |
| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @EdenDowers @75rebecca #OTalk I believe, we can go with the same flow of basics. helping to meet their needs and independence through client-centered-approach. May be there can be challenging requests for us to work on, but I believe that is what we do every day. Being more creative & treating. |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OT_Francesca @75rebecca @EdenDowers It really wouldn’t be too much to consider is it essential to consider when we need to know someone’s gender?! Forms seem to ask routinely #OTalk |
| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @EdenDowers @margaretOT360 I agree to the Advocate part #Otalk 💯 |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @margaretOT360 Yes, definitely. Something as foundational as knowing one's position in a discussion on gender #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Francesca: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @mrsmcinburtott: @OT_Francesca @75rebecca @EdenDowers It really wouldn’t be too much to consider is it essential to consider when we need to know someone’s gender?! Forms seem to ask routinely #OTalk |
 | Samuel Merritt University @SamuelMerrittU Calling all #OccupationalTherapists & students! @AOTAInc #OTalk https://t.co/AFgcPKbQCt |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @willchegwidden: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SadieBlueOT: |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @colourful_ot @75rebecca This is a great strategy! A term I've heard used is 'wallet name' (ie., what is on your passport/drivers licence) as a way of acknowledge that, for some people there is a disconnect between 'preferred' and 'wallet' names :) #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @willchegwidden Childish sniggering is the worst. So disrespectful #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GillianMMXVII @margaretOT360 And I think the TED platform is doing a good job too. There are some awesome videos I have come across in recent months. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk https://t.co/N5uuFvtgK8 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EdenDowers: @colourful_ot @75rebecca This is a great strategy!

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @DebbiiHarrison @UEA_Health We need to do more too #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @75rebecca Seeing that in front of my eyes of a friend I got to know- I see that she is trying to go about life like normal. But at the same time, the sexual identity transition is always a work in progress. #otalk |
 | Minh Tran @otramblings @75rebecca Keep forgetting the #otalk I think it would help towards rapport building as therapists will be able to plan and treat respectfully. Just as we do with different cultures, backgrounds etc |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Couldn’t agree more - #otalk https://t.co/9FZRZJj5ZM |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @colourful_ot @75rebecca Although with Chinese names... you still be better off to ask what they prefer. wallet name might not be enough. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk https://t.co/IZ1BAkn7po |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @willchegwidden: |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott Today at Derby there was the Derbyshire LGBT & role models event - we have great champions at Derby uni but still more work to be done #OTalk https://t.co/6eZlksxCGC |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @otramblings: @75rebecca Keep forgetting the #otalk I think it would help towards rapport building as therapists will be able to plan and treat respectfully. Just as we do with different cultures, backgrounds etc |
 | Elizabeth @ElizabethJH85 #OTalk, I've not worked with the transgender community but at university we recently had a problem based learning session. We looked at exploring the change in roles, education for those who didn't understand, but most importantly client centred working (as always) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @cathymc9781: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @amyruby_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @amyruby_OT @75rebecca I like that... just like anybody else we encounter. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ And you caught it before me so you get to get off the naughty step #otalk https://t.co/xLhXQg1DPa |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @75rebecca: |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers Question number 4: Are there any steps we should take to ensure that we don't gender stereotype in practice? #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @colourful_ot @75rebecca Agree - we really need to find out officially recognised name and the name of preference. We were very conscious of not offending our international students #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers Invite such service users to be our guest lecturers... and especially if we address topics like sexuality. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great point!! #otalk https://t.co/wIzoVHPZIW |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @75rebecca We have to be open minded about which pronouns we should use as therapists to create the best therapy we can provide for the service user! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #otalk https://t.co/slTphoA2Ct |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @HannahtheOT Great suggestions! This reminds me also of the work of Beagan and colleagues (2013) that outline similar supports! Title: Working with transgender clients: Learning from physicians and nurses to improve OT practice. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And we are just over half way! Is everyone ok out there? #OTALK |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk don’t forget the hashtag https://t.co/BO1kadUYSi |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers And as I said before... we got to set positive tones for placement students if we have them. If we don’t do a good job, how can we expect our future generations to do well? #otalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @BillWongOT @EdenDowers I agree Bill I think that would be really intresting to gain a prospective about transgender and non binary service users!🏳️🌈 #otalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @margaretOT360 Is there a strategy you employe regarding forms? One I've heard is to use the blank field 'Gender' allowing clients to self-identify their gender and the pronouns they use. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers I might generate a playlist of LGBTQ TEDx/TED talks soon. I think once that is made, it needs to be widely circulated across OT. #otalk |
| Elizabeth @ElizabethJH85 #OTalk, don't make assumptions, always ask what client's preferences are and embrace the fact that we all like different lifestyles and activities no matter what gender we are |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @HannahtheOT I like this. Surely there are rare occasions when we need to know about a persons genitals in every day assessments. If you really need to know (discussing toiletting for example) it’s just intrusive otherwise #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ot_benk @EdenDowers And since a lot of us also have troubles with sexuality in practice, why not kill 2 birds with one stone? #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @amyruby_OT: |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK #OTalk guest speakers would be amazing or some how incorporate a question during an initial assessment? I would love to learn more about LGBTQ+ community and how it’s to be incorporated in to health care practice 🏳️🌈 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @margaretOT360 And speaking of which, if we are conducting any form of research, make sure we give them as many available options as possible. #otalk |

| Eden Dowers @edendowers @margaretOT360 Agreed! It would be fabulous to learn more about your experiences in trans-positive practice @margaretOT360 #OTalk |
| Minh Tran @otramblings @RachaelD_OT @75rebecca Forgot #otalk again!! Pisses me off that we have advanced so much as a human race yet some can still be so small minded over things like this. It really is a no brainer - everyone has the right to express themselves without discrimination!!! |
| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri RT @margaretOT360: |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @HannahtheOT You’ve really got me thinking about what/how we facilitate learning for our students around inter personal communication. Thanks Hannah #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @75rebecca: Such great comments, tips and insight happening. Question 5: |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @HannahtheOT I can think of times when I was working with clients but they were few #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @75rebecca You are making me compiling the LGBTQ TED/TEDx playlist... lol! #otalk |
| Minh Tran @otramblings @75rebecca #otalk this would be great if run as part of mandatory training along side equality and diversity |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Standards within mental health hospitals theses days are to have male and female wards! Do people have examples of this being a Barrier? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @otramblings: @75rebecca #otalk this would be great if run as part of mandatory training along side equality and diversity |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 #OTalk https://t.co/XEyea0YkWI |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @75rebecca I think it will be great if we have some champions from this community to represent OT globally! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SadieBlueOT: |
| Elizabeth @ElizabethJH85 @75rebecca #OTalk education sessions from clients and their lived experiences (if they wish to participate formally in this) |
| Minh Tran @otramblings @BillWongOT @75rebecca Great idea!!! #otalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @OTalk_ In an article by Beagan et al., (2013) for those working in, for example, hospital settings, it was suggested that written policy be developed for use of space with trans clients, respecting the individual’s sef-identification and right to practice.#OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @LelanieBrewer I feel an HEI collaboration coming on @margaretOT360 @LelanieBrewer it’s got to be good to start with student education #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @otramblings @75rebecca While I am not in LGBTQ community, what I am doing can be a blueprint for such champions to follow. #otalk |
 | kags76 ☕🏡💚🏞️ @kagz76 #otalk the completion of suicide the for lgbt comm. is sadly high there cld. Be a surmountable role for MH OT teams |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @BillWongOT @75rebecca There are researchers doing great work in this area, particularly those seeking to employ collaborative, participant-research methods. Definitely worth following @75rebecca for this! #OTalk |

| Minh Tran @otramblings @75rebecca @katebornstein @megjohnbarker @cnlester @junodawson Why did you become interested in this area? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @75rebecca I am already so. I am an OT Connections magnet! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only 15 mins left #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch I will expand that to ALL workplaces that OT practitioners work in needs to have at least sensitivity trainings. #otalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK @OTalk_ I think peronsonally some men may feel more comfortable around woman and vice versa! I feel like this could make some feel not as excepted when with single sex due to old misconceptions which could make one feel less expressive of them selfs? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @bevsaturtle @75rebecca That is why generating a TED/TEDx talk playlist is one item of my to-do list. Once it is made, it will be great for everyone to share it! #otalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK RT @75rebecca: |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @HannahtheOT Brilliant! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colourful_ot @75rebecca Yes- whether in our education or CPD courses we have in the future. We all need refreshers sometimes. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ This would be really interesting #OTalk https://t.co/InrT6e1t8n |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers And now for the final question from @75rebecca and I: What features of your work environment restrict or enable participation by trans or non-binary service users? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 10 mins left #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HannahtheOT You can bring it to Prague for ENOTHE-COTEC in 2020. #otalk |

 | Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @75rebecca #OTalk really good resources and training from Mermaids. Worth looking at. Aimed at schools and parents/ careers |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @HannahtheOT I think it will be great to share the post chat transcript on LGBT4OT. #otalk |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ Many of us wear our rainbow lanyards to signify unity and equality across all groups - it’s been a useful visual reminder #OTalk https://t.co/FmbGiiK2st |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last 5 min any final thoughts #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LelanieBrewer And as OT leaders, be supportive of their efforts to make difference in our profession! #otalk |

| Eden Dowers @edendowers @75rebecca For context, this is, in-fact, how Rebecca and I came to work together :) Through Rebecca's use of collaborative, participant research methods. Definitely worth checking out, particularly regarding engagement practices #OTalk |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott Got to dash people!! Thanks so much for a though stimulating discussion everyone #OTalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @ElizabethJH85 @HannahtheOT Are there any policies regarding trans-positive practice where you work? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ElizabethJH85 @EdenDowers @HannahtheOT Same goes with nursing home settings in US. Hard to do when these buildings are built in the 50’s or earlier. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 @theRCOT I will expand that to all OT associations... and @thewfot needs to set awesome examples for us. #otalk |
| Eden Dowers @edendowers @colourful_ot @OTBrianNY @HannahtheOT I also appreciate the all encompassing 'folks' as opposed to a tendency, particularly in Australia to use the term 'guys and girls' #OTalk |

| Eden Dowers @edendowers @ElizabethJH85 @HannahtheOT There is a great article on trans-positive strategies for OT as informed by experiences of nurses and physicians! See ‘working with transgender clients, Beagan et al., 2013, Can Jrn of Occ. Therapy, 80, pp82-90 #OTalk |
 | Dr Nerida Hyett @neridahyett @EdenDowers @HannahtheOT #OTalk #OTs are well placed to support #trans people with social and occupational transitions, enabling them to develop roles, routines, and occupations that reflect and align with their identity |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Can we thank our #OTalk hosts @75rebecca and @EdenDowers for excellent and thought-provoking discussion tonight. I will update the blog with tonights transcript tomorrow. @OT_rach signing off https://t.co/o5GhkFkRDj |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EdenDowers @colourful_ot @OTBrianNY @HannahtheOT In Cantonese, I actually like how inclusive we can be with language if we are referring to at least 2 people. A singular LGBTQ person, though, that was the only flaw I see. #otalk |

| Ben Kirkwood 🏳️🌈 @OT_BenK I loved tonight’s #OTalk as a gay man my self I found it very interesting to think about the wider LGBTQ+ community and how as OTs can promote and educate ourselves and other about Trans and non binary people! I’d love to work within the community during my OT career! 🌈 |
