What should you wear to work if you’re nonbinary?

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.

It just cracks me up to think that ANYONE would consider taking a seeing-eye dog skydiving.

Well, duh!

When the leash goes slack you know it's time to tuck and roll!

Still no TV.

But we got a new neighbor today. She moved into the apartment that Cece (from the Bahamas) lived in. I miss her.

Mona came over. She is sleep deprived because of her new puppy. She doesn’t want to crate the pup, even though that is what the pup is used to. It may be the reason she’s not having good nights.

Anyway, I’ll have to go over and ask her in the morning if she can take me to get the other prescription. I sent a text to FS about getting together tomorrow, but he’s a little reluctant. He’s distancing himself from me, now. I wonder where this is coming from?

So I’m off for the night. Maybe I’ll wake up and will magically have Interwebs AND TV tomorrow! Right.

Who knew that could happen?

Poor thing.

I have to set my alarm. Sleep well!

Are they still falling? It’s the little ones you have to watch out for, or so my mother always said.

Disarming kitteh has something evil in mind.

Good morning. I hope you had a good night!

I had some strange dreams just before waking up, and I probably wouldn’t remember except one had my late Not Real Brother. Weird.

The interwebs is back up and MS was messing with things again during the night. I hate when they do that.

When the guy had the laptop, he installed Chrome, and I’ve been reluctant to use it. I prefer Firefox, but it messes with Facebook and all my family is there. I’ll figure it out, I guess.

I need to fix my breakfast, such as it is, then I’ll be back.

Good morning, and not bad, thanks. Jake says we should all go back to sleep.

Tom went to work, woo-hoo! I hope he works late: he needs the hours if he’s going to pay his rent in the slum apartment.

Good morning. Happy Humph Day!

We had less rain than expected yesterday. Of course it fell when it was time to walk the Princess before bed. And there was a little rain when I walked her this morning, but now it seems to have stopped.

Mrs. ArGee is taking her father to the dermatologist this morning, so she’s up a little earlier than normal. It just means my routine is off since I have to be on watch for seizures while she’s getting ready. But nothing this morning.

And now, off to owrk. At least Wordle is back to normal.

I agree with Jake!

Maybe Tom will work as long as there is daylight. That should help both of you!

I don’t know why I’m still here. I should have been in the shower and back out by now. *sigh*

OK, OK. I’m going. See ya in a bit.

When I went to bed last night the weather forgnosicator said we had already beat the entire month’s precipitation average (0.5”) with our 0.67” of slush and rain, and there was a slight chance we’d get a little rain overnight.

4 Freaking inches of white stuff, with more falling as of this writing!
