Abstract

The need to understand the integration processes of trans individuals in the labor market is confirmed by the literature review in this paper, which supports the scarce existence of studies focused on their life experiences outside of pathological contexts or from perspectives of invisibility/violence (including in the professional dimension). This study aims to comprehend the professional experiences of the trans population and understand how mechanisms of discrimination operate in the labor market. Semi-structured interviews with representatives from Portuguese LGBTQ+ associations (n = 6) were conducted between 10 March and 26 April 2021 and analyzed with MAXQDA 2022. The results underscored the importance of the topic and the complex hurdles trans individuals encounter at work, emphasizing the vital support of LGBTQ+ associations in tackling these issues and stressing the urgency of comprehending the vulnerability and discrimination trans people face in employment. The implications of the study underscore the urgent need for concerted efforts from policymakers, employers, civil society organizations, and the broader community to address the systemic barriers faced by trans individuals in the workplace. Future research and advocacy efforts should continue to address the systemic barriers to workplace integration and strive toward creating more inclusive and supportive environments for the trans population.
葡萄牙女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性者和跨性别者协会对变性者融入职业生涯的见解
本文的文献综述证实,有必要了解变性人融入劳动力市场的过程。文献综述还证实,很少有研究关注变性人在病态背景之外的生活经历,或从隐形/暴力的角度(包括在职业层面)来研究变性人的生活经历。本研究旨在了解变性人的职业经历,了解劳动力市场中的歧视机制是如何运作的。2021 年 3 月 10 日至 4 月 26 日期间,对葡萄牙 LGBTQ+ 协会的代表(n = 6)进行了半结构式访谈,并使用 MAXQDA 2022 进行了分析。结果强调了这一主题的重要性以及变性人在工作中遇到的复杂障碍,强调了 LGBTQ+ 协会在解决这些问题方面的重要支持,并强调了理解变性人在就业中面临的脆弱性和歧视的紧迫性。这项研究的意义强调,迫切需要政策制定者、雇主、民间组织和更广泛的社区共同努力,解决变性人在工作场所面临的系统性障碍。未来的研究和宣传工作应继续解决工作场所融合的系统性障碍,并努力为变性人创造更具包容性和支持性的环境。
