Transgender employment experiences

The complex and changing state of policy protections for transgender communities practically requires trans people to become legal experts just to navigate their everyday lives. It also simultaneously offers a window of opportunity for legal advocates to shape new laws and policies based on the lived experiences of trans people. Using personal interviews, legal case histories, and transgender theory, this book combines policy analysis with the lived experiences of twenty transgender-identified employees, showing how worker protections that should exist under the Civil Rights Act are instead systematically undermined in the case of many transgender employees. Rather than focusing solely on negative experiences, however, the author also highlights the positive experiences her respondents had coming out at work, illustrating examples of best practices in response to transitioning. This book is a much-needed resource for those in the field of gender and employment, from policy analysts to human resource managers to queer studies scholars.--Adapted from back cover.
