Respect and understanding between colleagues is essential in any
healthy, productive, equal-opportunities workplace. But as an
employer, are you aware of the specific needs of transgender
employees and applicants? This concise volume is the essential
introduction for any employer on how to work effectively and
respectfully with transgender employees, without asking the
employee inappropriate or personal questions. In simple terms, it
explains what it means to be transgender, the common challenges
transgender people experience, and how you can best support
transgender employees in their roles, and in their relationships
with colleagues and clients. The book clarifies employers' legal
responsibilities towards employees, offers practical solutions to
bullying, and provides information on health and safety as well as
medical issues such as surgeries and hormone therapy. The glossary
of terms elucidates the finer points, such as the correct language
to use with the employee, and the crucial differences between
transgender identities, including gender variant and non-binary. By
improving professional relationships company-wide and promoting
your employees' wellbeing, this book will ultimately assist you in
building a happier and higher-performing work force.
Bronze Winner for the 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the
category of Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Trans Non-Fiction Foregrounding the
voices of transgender and non-binary people, this honest and
insightful book is a compilation of the voices of those who have
decided to undergo transition - both male-to-female and
female-to-male. Drawing on over one hundred interviews with
individuals, the book details the diverse experiences and
challenges faced by those who transition, exploring a range of
topics such as hormone treatments; reassignment surgeries; coming
out; sex and sexuality; physical, emotional and mental health;
transphobia; discrimination; and hate crime, as well as
highlighting the lives of non-binary individuals and those who
cross-dress to form a wider understanding of the varied ways in
which people experience gender. This powerful book is an ideal
introduction to those keen to understand more about contemporary
trans issues as well as those questioning their own gender
identity.
Trans people in the UK currently face widespread prejudice and
discrimination, from how they are described in the media to the
lack of healthcare support they receive. This institutional bias is
illustrated by the tragic case of Synestra de Courcy, who died
following neglect and rejection from the NHS, leading her to sex
work to fund her transition and dangerous self-medication. Charting
Syn's life from childhood through to her untimely death aged just
23, Jane Fae exposes the gross institutional and societal
discrimination trans people experience on a daily basis and its
impact on the lives of trans people young and old. Promoting honest
discussion and bringing these hidden issues into the light of day,
this book is a must-read for anyone interested in trans rights and
NHS accountability.
