Doing and undoing gender at work: The workplace experiences of trans people in Switzerland

Author

  • Lorena PARINI

Abstract

This article considers the effects of trans identity on people's workplace experiences. Drawing on in‐depth individual interviews with 12 trans people in Switzerland in 2014–15, the author identifies the difficulties and successes of their experiences through the perspective of three dimensions: the effects of the type of transition they undergo (towards the male or female gender), difficulties in reconciling the temporalities of transitions with those of employers, and the circumstances in which individuals “come out”. Reflecting on trans people's access to economic citizenship, the author recommends revising labour legislation and raising awareness among managers of the issues surrounding trans identity.
