There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?

I’ve got no problem with them, but these are obviously kids who grew up in a different age than me, and it shows, I know what could seem a joke to me could come off different to them. Especially this being In the trades and the type of jokes we make here. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, we’re all trying to just get through the day after all

Trans people are weird, but so is everyone else. So treat them like every other weird person.

Yeah… since you are asking, try not to do anything. They’re people. They like jokes too.

Of course, all advise given in this thread is valuable, but I mean being overcautious may be the “special treatment” that is there routinely reminding them “oh you’re different”. They don’t need that. Just respect.
