Common explanations for this disparity range from biological differences between the sexes to the conscious and unconscious biases that guide hiring and promotion decisions. \u003ci\u003eJust One of the Guys?\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on this phenomenon by analyzing the unique experiences of transgender men-people designated female at birth whose gender identity is male-on the job. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kristen Schilt draws on in-depth interviews and observational data to show that while individual transmen have varied experiences, overall their stories are a testament to systemic gender inequality. The reactions of coworkers and employers to transmen, Schilt demonstrates, reveal the ways assumptions about innate differences between men and women serve as justification for discrimination. She finds that some transmen gain acceptance-and even privileges-by becoming \"just one of the guys,\" that some are coerced into working as women or marginalized for being openly transgender, and that other forms of appearance-based discrimination also influence their opportunities. Showcasing the voices of a frequently overlooked group, \u003ci\u003eJust One of the Guys?\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the social processes that foster forms of inequality that affect us all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristen Schilt\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of sociology at the University of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 15, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42063290761296,"sku":"9780226738079","price":61.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/MlNLNElFUjh6c2kvdkhrVGhabjhtZz09.webp?v=1771862418","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/just-one-of-the-guys-transgender-men-and-the-persistence-of-gender-inequality-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
