If they're changing their pronouns, those aren't guys, they're trans women. Don't be an asshole.

I love men with earrings!!! Go for it, I don’t think it’s unprofessional. I have a male colleague who is a Mohawk and wears his shirts unbuttoned, no one has said anything 😄

And i was questioning myself if it is ok to wear Polo Shirts instead of formal shirts :D

You’re better off not doing it.

Live in the real world, not the ideal one. The real world means some people will find it weird or unprofessional— if you want the optimal choice, it’s to look traditionally professional.

In professional services earrings can only hurt you unfortunately. I used to have earrings but took them out for optics. It's unfortunate but that's just the way progressional services is

They will, but do it anyways.

I think they’re hot. They’re also easy to take out once healed!

I wear my earrings to the office though on days I go in I try to keep it simple (studs or tiny hoops). Haven’t had a problem with it yet!

As someone with facial piercings who has never had a problem at work, go for it!! If you’re really worried you can get them pierced with a neometal threadless textured titanium disc - they come in multiple colors that look like a mole or a freckle - or a glass stud. Dm me if you have questions, I’m always happy to talk piercings

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week.
