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.
Johnson recalled regularly crying while getting dressed for work at an upscale restaurant in Seattle. It wasn’t just that they found the restaurant’s dress code to be ugly. Johnson had a hard time finding clothes that fit at all.

I’m sorry it’s been such a busy day for you. I’d like to have a busy day, but I can’t stand up long enough.
(I’m beginning to feel useless.)
Have a good evening and a night of sweet dreams!
See ya tomorrow!
*sigh*
Good morning. I woke up to the sound of Jake spewing.
Thanks, I’ve noticed that anytime I try one, it is never correct...
Thanks, don’t mind if I do...
🍪
It twas a nice one!
Dunno... they don’t seem to be posting them here...

Good morning. It’s early in your time zone. Cat spew?
Good Morning. Went to bed really early (exhausted from the trip to the big city), so up really early...
What an incredible guitarist he was.
I don’t know why my sleep patterns are so messed up again, but I’m beginning to suspect the weather and how it affects my pain levels. There is no way I can take enough morphine for that. I just have to deal with the disruption until I’m exhausted, which seems to be the pattern.
Unngh.
Good morning. Happy Friday!
I got young ArGee’s car shoveled out yesterday. It had been warm during the day for 2 days so it wasn’t hard, just heavy. Tonight I’ll fill her tank and tomorrow morning she’ll head back home.
Maybe this weekend I’ll recover from the time change. I’m already tired today and I’ve only been up 2 hours.
Not the best Wordle for a Friday, but at least it’s not an X.

Kitteh sez, “Deese my sharp pointy fings, so no mess wif me”
Good morning. I hope you had a good night, but I’m sorry your alarm was cat spew. I guess the only thing worse is stepping in the cold stuff.
FS and PW will be headed to Memphis soon, and I just had a text conversation with FS. It sounded suspiciously like him trying to make me feel guilty for moving back west.
Ohwell. I hope they have a fun time.
Good morning. I hope they have a good trip, too. He’s just projecting to divert his own guilt for being a **** to you.
Jake spewed again downstairs.
Tom has left for work. DP and I, Vlad, Frank, and Kathleen will be leaving noonish for Charleston to stay on the aircraft carrier with the Cub Scouts. So no kitteh on Saturday or Sunday, although I may be in contact depending on the available wavelengths.
Good job!
FD is wearing her kilt today, as she does every St Pat’s day, “when all the world is Irish except for the Scots and they are always Scots!”
Thanks for the anniversary greeting!
🍀
He does a lot of that since he’s been married to PW. When he was married to James’ mom, he was still the same FS he was when he was growing up.
OK, thanks! I’ll get them posted for you, and if you could please take some photos of some navy ships for me I’d be deliriously happy!
Have fun during your stay!
I think the bathroom is warm enough now that I can go take my shower. Unngh. Even that is a chore, here.
