So I’ve been a shift for a year plus another year a while back. I have never gone through what I’m about to explain so any help is appreciated. I’m having issues with a partner that is being promoted to shift that will be leaving to another store. I’ll call them Sam. Sam is 18 and going through an identity crisis. They don’t feel right being called she/her or he/him. Also hates being referred to as they/them. So I’ve asked if it’s okay to just refer to Sam by their name. The answer was “no, I want to feel like I matter and that my feelings are valid.”Calling me by my name is inhumane” The issue is that we have a trans and a non-binary partner who feel as though Sam is just being inconsiderate and trying to draw attention to themselves because they aren’t trying to make an effort of how to help us help them. I’m not sure what to do because a lot of our team feels very confused when referring to Sam and doesn’t want to be disrespectful but also don’t necessarily want to feel like they have to walk on eggshells around them.
