Experience of Career-Related Discrimination for Female-to-Male Transgender Persons: A Qualitative Study
Dispenza, Franco; Watson, Laurel B.; Chung, Y. Barry; Brack, Greg
Career Development Quarterly, v60 n1 p65-81 Mar 2012
In this qualitative study, the authors examined the experience of discrimination and its relationship to the career development trajectory of 9 female-to-male transgender persons. Participants were between 21 and 48 years old and had a variety of vocational experiences. Individual semistructured interviews were conducted via telephone and analyzed using grounded theory methodology. The emergent model consisted of forms of discrimination and impact of discrimination. These components intersected with the career development trajectory. Participants provided their own suggestions for improving the workplace environment. Counseling, advocacy, and future research implications are discussed. (Contains 1 figure.)
