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

Required or pressured? Is that the same as encouraged in your world?

    When you're being encouraged in a place that supplies your income and with that your livelihood, an "encouragement" becomes pressure.

    Similarly, my brother-in-law once bought a rather expensive gift for my father-in-law and asked if we wanted to pitch in for it. He's truly a great person, we get along great, and if we said no I don't think it would have been a big deal at all... But being the one who married into the family relatively recently, it's a difficult thing to push back on. And that's in the best case scenario with someone you know, love, and trust. We don't know that OP has that same kind of relationship with their coworkers
