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

Maybe best is to just continue using their preferred pronouns as if nothing happened, and be kind to everyone. That will already show your support and he might come to you if there is anything to talk about.

I hope all the other colleagues are supportive as well, I would have a close eye on everyone now.
