- Description
- Based on in-depth interviews and observational data the author analyses experiences of transgender men—people designated female at birth whose gender identity is male— with their treatment at work. The author argues that assumptions about innate differences between men and women serve as justification for discrimination. She finds that some transmen gain acceptance—and even privileges—by becoming “just one of the guys,” that some are coerced into working as women or marginalized for being openly transgender.
