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

    Be kind and approachable. If they want to bring it up to you, they will. Pushing on it from your end might end badly and be very uncomfortable.

      One of my coworkers brought it up unprompted with me like this. I heard them out, showed some empathy, and talked about coping strategies. I tried to keep it focused on what they wanted/needed.
