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 not sure how you all create these, but this is what I found.

The key to the right of the “alt” key to the right of the space bar. Press it, and the menu will have “Emojis” at the top.

That’s what I do, anyway.

"My page says to press the windows key and the period at the same time."

The last time I tried experimenting like that, I ended up with a Cyrillic alphabet.

I thought the push-me-pull-you came from Doctor Doolittle.

But, yeah. I noticed that too.

I'm wondering if hexadecimal means that you're into witchcraft.

You're probably correct. My aging brain is too feeble an instrument. It's good to see you again! I've missed you these past years.

Hey, ladies! I've missed y'all, too!

Yep. You are correct. At least I was correct in assuming your correctness. Should we address you as “Your Correctness”?

Good to see you! How have you been? Experiencing any ice?
How are the Chicklets and DP? How’s Bill doing—still in NY?
Kathleen still taking riding lessons? Girl marine still in Okinawa? Tom working in environmental stuff or still in school? James and His Hair? Pat and the Cloak of Invisibility? Anoreth still teaching rocks to shoot? Y’know, this is too exhausting for you. I’ll just catch up on six or eight months of posts.

Everyone is fine. Kathleen is still riding. She has a lesson today, if the rain lets up. Frank is still a ray of sunshine, in spite being 13. Bill is doing excellently in NYC. He’s in a volleyball league at the Y. Elen is still in Okinawa, promoted to Sergeant. Tom is WORKING!!! making every day just like Christmas. “Washing soil” is one of his main tasks.

James and His Hair paid rent yesterday because I threatened to take his room for myself and put him back with the other three young men. Patrick is living Uptown with Sally. I see him at Walmart sometimes, but he doesn’t acknowledge family when he’s working.

Anoreth is working on her Masters in math at UNCC, working as a statistician for a national media chain (don’t know which : she’s cagey), and got married in December to a really nice man with a good job.
