Transgender Men and Women in the Workplace: Higher Gender Pay Inequality and Discrimination

Transgender Men and Women in the Workplace: Higher Gender Pay Inequality and Discrimination

On a recent car trip, I found myself captivated by an interview with Lily Zheng author of “Gender Ambiguity in the Workplace:  Transgender and Gender Diverse Discrimination.”  In writing her book, Zheng and her co-author Alison Fogarty analyzed the relationship between gender identity and workplace performance.   In this process, they analyzed the research of gender in the workplace and also interviewed 25 gender diverse individuals who agreed to share their insights and experiences.  In writing this book it’s their hope “that someday trans people and trans communities can secure economic well-being-and the political, social, religious, and cultural liberation that must accompany it.”
