Gender Ambiguity in the Workplace: Transgender and Gender-Diverse Discrimination

Author(s): Fogarty, Alison; Zheng, Lily;
Contributors: Fogarty, Alison; Zheng, Lily;
Abstract:

A delicate exploration of the discrimination that gender-diverse people face, this book analyzes the relationship between gender identity and performance in the workplace while considering the emotional and economic survival of those who identify as transgender.


• Discusses long-ignored nuances of transgender identity through narratives of non-binary, gender-fluid, and genderless experiences, in the context of workplace discrimination

• Extends existing theoretical literature on masculinity in the workplace, gender discrimination, and gender performance

• Identifies factors that may preclude and minimize discrimination

• Proposes a pragmatic set of policy recommendations for employers, community leaders, and others

• Provides best practices around such policy items as bathroom access, workplace transition, hiring practices, and inclusive workplace culture
