Abstract

Background: Gender transitioning is increasingly common, but little is known about the extent to which individuals in transition and fully transitioned suffer from wage discrimination. Methods: Managers in the United States (n=204) were shown photos of white and Asian male and female "employees" at different stages of simulated hormone therapy and were asked to estimate their actual hourly wages based on appearance.

Results: The results suggest that Asian men and women "in transition" and fully transitioned do not suffer from significant wage discrimination. However, among the white stimuli, gender atypical ("in transition" and fully transitioned) men and women are estimated to earn significantly less than their gender typical (sexually dimorphic) counterparts, with some gender-specific nuances.

Conclusions: The effects of hormone therapy may have a deleterious impact on the wages of white transgender individuals.

劳动力市场中的激素治疗和歧视:内分泌学经济学的新实验证据。

背景:性别转换越来越普遍，但人们对性别转换者和完全性别转换者遭受工资歧视的程度知之甚少。方法:研究人员向204名美国经理展示了白人和亚裔男性和女性“雇员”在不同阶段的模拟激素治疗的照片，并要求他们根据外表估计他们的实际时薪。结果:研究结果表明，“变性”和完全变性的亚洲男性和女性没有遭受明显的工资歧视。然而，在白人刺激物中，非典型性别(“变性”和完全变性)男性和女性的收入估计明显低于他们的典型性别(两性二态)同行，其中有一些特定性别的细微差别。结论:激素治疗的效果可能对白人变性人的工资产生有害影响。
