There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? - eviltoast

I’ve got no problem with them, but these are obviously kids who grew up in a different age than me, and it shows, I know what could seem a joke to me could come off different to them. Especially this being In the trades and the type of jokes we make here. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, we’re all trying to just get through the day after all

Edit: I have learned, they used to be female, transitioned to male. (So trans-masc? I’m probably messing that up) Lesbian, and non-binary, thankfully they brought it up which was very helpful as I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to ask

    I think many workplaces function better when workers are able to develop camaraderie by talking and joking about things that aren’t strictly related to work

      There are plenty of other things to joke around and talk about, aside from politics.

        When I say politics I include things like struggles with inflation and laws that harm you and global warming and working conditions and much more. I think that it’s good to engage thoughtfully with the people we surround ourselves with
