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?

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

    Yeah pretty much if you’re worried about jokes offending people’s sexuality. Why the hell is that part of you’re repertoire.

Treat them like anyone else by default and make accommodations if you need to and it’s reasonable.

You’re asking with good intentions, but the best answer for any group will always be that. Shit, not even by groups. On a human by human basis just do that, there’s a crazy amount of human variation and it’s not always obvious.

This is not a comprehensive list, but you should probably avoid talking about your sex life.

  But how can I impress people with my competitive qualities? I had fourteen sex last night, and before that I did four sets of three sex at a time.
  
  I’m even the speedruns any% TAS WR holder at 3.19 seconds.
  
  Do my colleagues not need to know about this???

    You can mention it by asking about office etiquette on Lemmy.
