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
What we do in our office, to make sure everybody feels supported, is to have rainbow decorations, and badges and stuff for people to wear.
You could wear a rainbow badge, to show that you support, and so he knows to feel safe. You can also encourage others to wear a rainbow badge, or lanyard or something else, to show that he can feel safe.
