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.

-1.2° and falling at the nully nest.

[Tax-chick]

That sounds rather unpleasant!

[null and void]

Not when viewed from inside a 72° house.

Sucks to be the dog though. I’m anticipating he’ll have a 10 second pee within 10 ft of the deck.

[Tax-chick]

That’s what he gets for being a dog. It’s 73Fs in my house. We turned the gas fire on for a while.

I guess Bermuda Schwartz is no longer required.

Good Tuesday Morning!

Nice jobs on those 3-spots you guys...

Another strange path for me... led me to the four train, could have been much worse... I feel lucky!

Now that we have some glimmers of daylight, I don’t even see a bunny out there.

[Tax-chick]

I’d be hiding if I were a rabbit.

[Monkey Face]

We have snow!

I Want to go home!

[ArGee]

Killer rabbits don't hide.

[ArGee]

Well, it IS winter.

[Monkey Face]

Yes, and as I’m reminded at least once a week, this IS “The South!”

[ArGee]

But it’s not the deep south.

[Tax-chick]

At least the first month of winter will be over.

[Monkey Face]

What do I know? I’ve never lived farther south than San Diego, or Yuma. Or Del Rio. Which isn’t “South,” I’m told.

And I don’t WANT to live in the Deep South. I want to go back to the desert where it’s hot and dry, thanks!

[Monkey Face]

Maybe by then, things will start to green up, but there are still tornados to be reckoned with, so until I’m headed West, I’m going to be nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. At least knowing I’m #4 gives me incentive to want to sort stuff out and start to pack!

[zzeeman]

Good Middle of the Week Morn!

Patiently (to the best of my abilities) waiting for this gloomy freezing rain to move out of here... apparently another day and a half of it remains...

At least a good start on the Wordle front for today...

A straight jacket.

Hard to make that work in a food service job.
