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.

Congratulations!

I ordered a cake for James. He can pick it up later.

When Mona took me to Kroger for quarters, yesterday, I had to buy something to get quarters back. I found a package with two slices of lemon cake and was afraid it wasn’t going to taste very good.

I was wrong! It was yummy! So I’m not quite so hungry for a piece of the Jameses birthday cake. However, a small one might hit the spot!

(My knees are very hateful right now!)

Have you read “The Path Between the Seas” by David McCollough? It’s about how the Panama Canal was built. His writing reminds me of Tom Clancy’s. Lots of detail.

I just got a text from FS. He is at his destination. His truck is all shiny and clean, so he must have hit some rain. I don’t know what the trailer looks like, but he’s got everything he needs. Including the relief of his favorite mom!

No, I haven’t. I’ve read quite a few of his other books, and we’ve listened to some in the van.

I’m glad your son reached his destination safely.

It’s pretty interesting reading so far, but I’m only 140 pages into it. If you think you might want to read it I’ll send it to you when I’m done and you can do what you want with it when you’ve read it.

Thanks! I don’t suppose I’ll hear from FS again for a day or two but PW just left, after an hour’s visit.

More on that, later.

So I’m going to trundle down the hallway and hope I can sleep tonight. See you tomorrow!

Ah, yes. Well, don’t check this one out until I give you a book report. It may not be all that. ;o]

Good morning. Happy Friday!

Kitteh is all ears.

We had some smattering of wet stuff overnight that left the walkways a little crunchy. Now it’s snow. I’ll have to go out in a bit and do the first clearing of Mrs. ArGee’s car so she can take her mother to a doctor appointment later.

We’ll have some form of precipitation all day.

Back to 3 for me.

What a sweet little floofy face!

Good morning. I hope you slept well with no cats or other alarms and excursions.

Today is another Friday, and I can’t figure out what is happening to the days. I need a goal, I think, because I seem to be drifting.
