What should you wear to work if you’re nonbinary?
It may not be the most pressing question that gender-nonconforming people face on the job, but with approximately 1.2 million LGBTQ+ Americans identifying as nonbinary, employers and employees alike are exploring what professional attire can look like.
“I think people treat me with more dignity when I dress more masculinely, but people are way nicer to me when I dress more femininely,” said El Layla Johnson, 33, a former restaurant server who is now a therapist.
For Johnson, getting dressed for work has been a struggle since adolescence.
“I just feel like there’s a manual or rule book that people receive and that my copy got lost in the mail,” Johnson said.

Clothes, just like everyone else you freak.
W00t!
I saved that just for you!
And thanks!
Thank you. I’ll treasure it always.
I really have owrk to do, but the pain of the time-zone change always hits me hardest mid-week.
I know that time-change feeling. I’m still suffering from it and probably will for the next few months. So you have my sympathies, no matter how short or how long it lasts.
The groceries were just delivered and when I checked my Informed Delivery, there is a card from you in today’s mail! YAY!
I think I’ve figured out how to organize the closet. I’m going to pack my winter church clothes, using Space Bags, and then rearrange the flat storage tubs. (Bins?)
In a few minutes I’ll get up from here and sort my pills.
Good Morning!
Nice job on the three spots!
I was at the normal four train station...
Wordle 635 4/6
⬛⬛🟨🟩⬛
🟨🟩🟩🟩⬛
⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
(In the golf analog, this Par on the 11th hole keeps me at three under for the round... ⛳️)
Just FYI:
In going over the list of words used, I noticed something: There are no plurals.
I think they really tried to avoid forms of 4 letter words. So they also tried to avoid things like ruder for that reason.
Not that it’s perfect.

Thank you. Have a cookie. 🍪
Thanks, ‘Face.
I actually have that link handy now.
Handy was meant as a weak attempt at humor. I suspect that it originally was a form of the word “hand” but we don’t really think of it that way.
My mind is working much better, now, ArGee, but it still works hard to keep up with yours! Or at least a few steps behind!
Have a heart!

It’s very dark in the morning.
Pretty chart.
Golly! I was so involved in myself, I hadn’t even noticed you posted your Wordle!!

I missed getting it in one when I suddenly changed my starting word. It was the Wordle!
Here comes the sound and light show....
Sorry to hear that!
I’m back from Kathleen’s riding lesson and off to her Scouts meeting in just a few minutes. What a day!
