However, accountability to gender is understudied, leading scholars to call for work that analyzes the varying salience of gender accountability. I respond by studying transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC+) migrants originally from the West and Southeast Asia who now live in South Korea. How do TGNC+ migrants experience accountability to gender, race/ethnicity, class, and national origin boundaries in Korea and origin societies? I find that TGNC+ migrants feel safer in Korea than in their origin societies—including those that may be conventionally considered more progressive than Korea—to “do gender” in affirming ways. The reasons are that medical care is rarely gatekept, and public spaces facilitate gender affirmation for TGNC+ migrants because they are held less accountable to gender than their Korean peers. For this reason, I call them exempt outsiders . The exempt outsider is rarely held accountable to gender because their “outsider” status, inflected by national origin, class, and race/ethnicity, displaces gender as the primary frame through which boundaries are drawn in their interactions with Korean “insiders.” By integrating the literature on gender accountability with boundary studies, I highlight the shifting salience of gender, national origin, class, and race/ethnicity when TGNC+ individuals migrate and interact in different social contexts. I identify what conditions enable gender identity affirmation by TGNC+ migrants in a destination that is not regarded as legally LGBTQ-friendly. I further distinguish the different ways in which their construction as exempt outsiders affects TGNC+ migrants in Korea in terms of their intersectional placement in local power hierarchies, such as national origin, class, and race/ethnicity.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, feminist scholarship argues that discrimination can generate feminist consciousness and resistance. To interrogate these conflicting expectations, we draw on in-depth interviews with professional women to examine exit, voice, and silence in discrimination’s aftermath. We find that some women remain silent or exit organizations in search of less hostile environments. Others, however, develop feminist consciousness, voice complaints, and sometimes accomplish hard-fought changes within their organizations. To explain these divergent responses, we identify support networks as a crucial mechanism. Support networks help women avoid self-blame and rumination by resolving the ambiguity that frequently obscures discrimination. Support networks also spread awareness of discrimination and generate feminist solidarity. In doing so, they encourage women to contest negative treatment by exercising voice. Implications for the study of workplace discrimination, the debate over the stalled gender revolution, and occupational segregation are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48351,"journal":{"name":"Gender & Society","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
