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

I don't think saying anything is necessary but if you don't have the conviction to back up your words with action then you're better off keeping your mouth shut. I would think a betrayal to be worse than to get the impression the support was never there in the first place.

Weirdly accusatory thing to say as an answer to a post explicitly asking which actions they should take to back up their words.
