Hi Lemmy,

Apologies if this is a dumb question.

I have a trans person that I supervise and I know he is having a hard time after Trump’s only two genders executive order.

Is there anything I can do to make sure that he feels supported at work?

I have regular check-in meetings with my staff so I was hoping to see how he was doing, but don’t want to force him into an uncomfortable discussion.

Note: His performance is still excellent at his job so this isn’t a “coaching conversation” or anything like that

    Simply treating that person like a human being would be a good start.

    Also, maybe treat him like everyone else, as giving him special treatment would beat the point of equality.

    No need for all that fancy stickers.

    If you’re not sure, just ask. I’m sure he’d appreciate it more if you ask him directly instead of asking a bunch of internet strangers. Let it be an awkward talk if needs be.
