How do I better support my trans supervisee? (lemmy.ml)

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

Continue treating him with respect. I'm kinda assuming you're in government, but I guess that's not clear from the post. If you are, maybe let him know that the executive order will not impact how you treat him, and offer him space to ask questions or raise concerns.
