Do you live with them ? Bring up a friend who was talking about trans stuff with you , ask them for advice and they will give you a clear indication of how they feel . Any way of bringing up trans issues works here Then you can feel safe and confident when you do talk to them . It could even be an immediate followup . <| sep |> Terrible shit happens to these workers all the time . The plant uses them up and discards them . Nobody is filing workmans comp when they might get deported . These plants should be sued into oblivion for this shit . These people were working hard , and didn ' t deserve this . My mom was an RN for years , the plants would drop off crippled workers , and drive off , refusing to pay . She said people would show at the er with for instance , no meat on their hands .
