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 dont know. People maybe dont like showing support for minorities.

I really appreciate the sentiment. I don't think I would do anything with stickers or decorations without talking to him first because I don't want it come across as performative.
