I would love to see a break down. Of discrimination trans people claim to face. Whether it's truly because of their identity, and how much is down to other things. I mean you can be trans and still poo at your job, apply for jobs that aren't appropriate for your personality and skill level , be unable to handle criticism or direction, and exhibit behaviour not compatible with the job.
How many were positions they put themselves in in the first place. Such as running a rape crisis centre or being a bra fitters where the liklihood is that a female staff member will be requested. A person wouldn't be rejected on the basis of being trans but being male. Same as any other male staff member.
We hear alot abiut being marginalised and discriminated against but we never hear the actual reasons.
What basis does this discrimination take?
There was the case of the journalist who transitioned in their 50s, who found that promotions passed them by, their ideas were credited to men, and they were not listened to. The TW sued their employer for transphobic discrimination, was represented by Moira Robin White who sometimes pops up on these boards.
The case was not won, because there was not transphobic discrimination. This person was being treated as all the women in the media are treated. That's inclusion.
I can only assume that the TW had thought that being a woman was all about lipstick and pillow fights and that they had no idea about how women are treated in a workplace.
Absolutely bonkers situation. I did chuckle, but I do like a bit of irony.
