Comment on 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?

Great start. It also goes for work. Even if they’re open about it, just don’t allow comment on it at all at work. People quite often say “so there’s a lad working on X team and he’s trans but you’d never know” or needlessly say “oh yeah Katie, she’s trans”. Shut that down RUTHLESSLY around you unless the trans person says not to

I dont understand people’s need to share shit like that.

It’s up there with (though obviously not as sensitive as) when people tell you a story about someone they interacted with and just have to make sure you know the skin colour of the person when it holds zero relevance to the story.

  I know it’s ingrained into what people say. Maybe it’s the unusual things people feel they need to comment on? Idk though
