Litav Langley Consulting LLC has some B2B valentines/reminders for all you employers out there. Enjoy, share, and keep doing good things for your teams and communities ❤️💜💗

1: Some roses are red. Small businesses impact town culture. To support equity and be inclusive, your employee development, customer relations, and comms need smart structure!

2: Some roses are yellow. Teams perform best when they’re diverse. If employees aren’t respected, the team performs worse.

3: Some roses are multicolored. Federal and state non-discrimination laws still apply. The EEOC’s revocation of harassment guidance doesn’t change the requirement to comply.

4: Some roses are pink. DEI’s not a bad word. Shying away from equity initiatives is, frankly, absurd.

5: Some flowers aren’t roses. Especially now, employers need to be deliberate about inclusion. Reach out, I’ll show you how!

As you set intentions for 2026, identify how you'll more fully align your actions with your values. Acting like you're neutral, keeping your head down, and staying quiet isn't an option when people around us are being targeted with violence and hate. It's on all of us to make our communities places where everyone is safe, respected, and belongs.

Hello, world! Welcome to the page for Litav Langley Consulting LLC!

Many of you are unsettled by the terrible attacks on transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people happening federally and in most states. You want to concretely support trans folks in your community, but you're not sure how.

Others of you don't know what's happening. But you care about people — about your neighbors, clients, employees, congregants, and students. So you want to learn.

Here and on Insta , I share actions you can take to create more welcoming spaces and services. Follow, engage, spread the word, and reach out if I can help your organization! 💜💜

I initially shared this last month on Instagram but it's super-relevant all year. Some of these ideas are even applicable to churches that are opening their doors to so many families as people celebrate Christmas this week...

Nurturing trans inclusion in Jewish spiritual, intellectual, and social life is truly exciting and joyful! I offer these suggestions in the context of Reform Judaism and as someone immersed in Reform Jewish life. 💙💚

If your congregation would like guidance as you do this work in ways best suited to your community, reach out – I’d love to help! There's so much more than what's shared here!

From greeting potential customers or guests to avoiding unintentional reenforcing of limiting gender norms and lifting up trans pride, here are a few tips for companies and managers in the retail and hospitality space.

- Language assuming gender proliferates: “Welcome in ladies!” “What can I get you, gentlemen?” While these words are intended to initiate good rapport with potential customers, misgendering in these moments has the opposite effect. Make simple shifts and your words of welcome achieve the friendly vibe you’re going for without erasing gender-expansive people: “Welcome in!” “What can I bring you all this evening?”

- Helping someone pick out a children’s gift or clothing? Toys and great clothing are for everyone! Stop asking “is it for a boy or a girl?” Instead, ask “what does the birthday kid enjoy doing?” or “what colors do you think would be fun for this young person?”

- Sell merch – stickers, buttons, shirts, cards – that are trans affirming. It shows trans people in your community that you support them and gives people who aren’t trans a way to display their allyship.

- During Trans Awareness Week, Trans Day of Visibility (March 31), or Pride Month (June) donate $1 from every pint you sell or special dessert on your menu to a trans justice organization in your local community or state. Or give customers with buttons/shoelaces/shirts sharing their trans pride or allyship 10% off their purchase. If your business can afford to, do this multiple times a year – perhaps both when there are reasons to celebrate and if anti-trans policy is advancing federally or in your state.

People are more likely to shop and dine where they feel seen and respected. Consider some of these simple changes to keep trans and gender expansive folks – and all the people who care about us – coming back!

Given the abundance of demeaning, false information being used to justify state bans on gender-affirming care, some trans people are especially hesitant to seek any kind of health and wellness care now. After all, accessing and – whether it’s acupuncture, massage, PT, a routine exam, specialized medical care, or – means being vulnerable.

Here are a few (by no means exhaustive super-basics for health and wellness providers that I shared for Trans Awareness Week last month:

How a patient/client is greeted and their experience in the waiting room sets the tone for the appointment. In addition to continuing education for providers themselves, front office staff should participate in recurring professional development about practices that maximize welcomeness and health for trans people.

Include signals that trans people are welcome on your website and in the office. But don’t include such signals until you’ve built knowledge and implemented practices to be trans-affirming.

Intake and health history forms should let clients indicate and update their gender identity and pronouns. Use the indicated pronouns consistently when communicating the about client with other people on the care team and in the client’s records.

Gender dysphoria may impact how a patient talks about their body and how comfortable they are (or are not) with some exams. Learn inclusive language and clinical practices and follow the patient’s lead in words they use to talk about their body.

When referring out, send trans clients to providers who are relationally and clinically competent to serve them. This requires research and/or conversations in advance with practitioners you refer to.
