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

    it’s best to ask trans people: hexbear has the largest trans communities and i would ask there.

        opinions like this are the reason why it has coalesced into most active trans safe spaces on lemmy, it’s the furthest place away from shit takes like these due to defederation; the majority once again pushes vulnerable people into the margins of society where they then flourish.

          Nah. Blahaj is also a safe space and well moderated without impinging on others enjoyment. Hexbear actively discourages other communities from participation, not with prejudice but with memes and childishness.

          There are probably lots of great communities on hexbear but their bigger ones give a bad reputation to the instance in general. I’ve interacted with some great members in communities on non hexbear instances but for my instance at least, defederation was a net benefit.

          If federation allows blocking communities, rather than instances in the future, that could change. However, currently it’s only on a per user basis, so it becomes tiresome.
