Abstract

Cisnormativity assumes individual traits and social roles that correspond to one's gender assigned at birth. Cisnormativity in workplace culture sustains the discrimination of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals. Research in the workplace has yet to evaluate strategies that TGNC employees use to attain personal or social goals. In the present study, the term cisnormative symbolic colonization (CSC) incorporates Habermas' theory of communicative action with symbolic interactionism to demonstrate the permeation of cisnormative dominance in workplace culture through symbolic social practices. Interviews with 15 transgender women and gender nonconforming individuals illustrated four strategies used to mitigate CSC in the workplace: bargaining, validating, symbolic-aligning, and value-endorsing. The findings demonstrated the dominant impact of CSC in workplace culture and revealed the employment of trans-symbolism to integrate trans-inclusive values in the workplace.

工作场所中的顺式规范符号殖民与变性人和性别不符者
顺性别规范主义假定个人特征和社会角色与出生时的性别相符。工作场所文化中的顺性别规范性维持了对变性人和性别不符者(TGNC)的歧视。有关工作场所的研究尚未对 TGNC 员工为实现个人或社会目标而采取的策略进行评估。在本研究中,"顺式规范符号殖民化"(CSC)一词将哈贝马斯的交际行动理论与符号互动论相结合,以证明顺式规范主导地位通过符号社会实践在工作场所文化中的渗透。通过对 15 名变性女性和性别不符者的访谈,说明了在工作场所缓解 CSC 的四种策略:讨价还价、验证、象征性调整和价值认可。研究结果表明了 CSC 在工作场所文化中的主导影响,并揭示了在工作场所采用跨性别符号来整合跨性别包容性价值观的方法。
