‘Lost in Transition’: Some Preliminary Considerations on Voicing Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Discrimination in the Workplace

Abstract

This article proposes a model aimed at considering both voice and inclusion during social and medical transition of transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people in their workplace. A preliminary theoretical framework is focused on voice and inclusion in organisation. The rationale of this article lies in the difficulties expressed in current research in taking into account TGNC issues in organisation due to lack of empirical evidence. The model proposed in the current work intends to add knowledge on the experiences of TGNC people within their workplaces, especially during the transition process.
