How do you tell an apolitical workplace from a conservative workplace if the conservative workplace claims it’s apolitical?



I don't know. How do you tell an apolitical workspace from a progressive workspace if the progressive workspace claims it's apolitical?

But until we see that coinbase harasses trans people who work there I'll assume they are apolitical as they say and not conservative. If you have evidence that they did harass trans people as you fear then you can bring them up and we can see that coinbase isn't really apolitical, but until then you are just creating a problem out of nothing.

Plenty of companies have policies against politics at work, but I've never heard of a real expample where that caused issues with trans people. Instead people just bring up thought examples. I don't doubt it might have ever happened, but I don't think it is nearly as common or problematic as people try to make it out to be.
