- Description
- Using personal interviews, legal case histories, and transgender theory, the author combines policy analysis with the lived experiences of twenty transgender-identified employees. She describes different forms of discrimination that transgender workers face, such as harassment, gender-based dress codes, income-related inequities, bathroom policies, and background checks. She also highlights positive experiences her respondents had coming out at work, illustrating examples of best practices in response to transitioning.
