Do transgender and non-binary workers in the U.S. retail and service sectors have lower quality jobs than their cisgender counterparts
While several quantitative studies document significant gaps in wages between transgender and non-binary workers and their cisgender counterparts, and while qualitative work examines trans workers’ experiences across multiple dimensions of job quality, a fuller empirical testing of these theories has been constrained by a lack of data that 1) allows for detailed comparisons across gender identities, 2) contains detailed and varied measures of job…
Demographic Differences in Responses to a Two-Step Gender Identity Measure
Strategies for including noncisgender responses in demographic analyses remain subjects of ongoing debate and refinement. The Household Pulse Survey is one of the first data products by the U.S. Census Bureau to incorporate a two-step gender identity measure. This is significant because the survey, although experimental, is one of the largest federal nationally representative samples (n = 668,273) that allows for the enumeration of noncisgender p…
Has There Been a Transgender Tipping Point? Gender Identification Differences in U.S. Cohorts Born between 1935 and 2001
Using a probability-based sample from 39 U.S. states from a general health survey, the author evaluates popular claims of a "transgender tipping point" by estimating probabilities of identifying as transgender and gender nonconforming among cohorts of respondents born between 1935 and 2001. Respondents born after 1984 are significantly more likely to identify as transgender or gender nonconforming than respondents in earlier cohorts. However, coh…
Evaluating the Use of a Two-Step Gender Identity Measure in the 2018 General Social Survey
In 2018, the General Social Survey (GSS) asked some respondents for their sex assigned at birth and current gender identity, in addition to the ongoing practice of having survey interviewers code respondent sex. Between 0.44% and 0.93% of the respondents who were surveyed identified as transgender, identified with a gender that does not conventionally correspond to the sex they were assigned at birth, or identified the sex they were assigned at b…
Gender Theory in Troubled Times
Hearing Gender
This study examines the link between self-rated health and two aspects of gender: an individual's gender identity, and whether strangers classify that person's voice as male or female. In a phone-based general health survey, interviewers classified the sex of transgender women ( n = 722) and transgender men ( n = 446) based on assumptions they made after hearing respondents' voices. The flawed design of the original survey produced inconsistent s…
Looking at Population Health Beyond “Male” and “Female”
Looking beyond binary measurements of “male” or “female” can illuminate health inequality patterns that correspond to gender identity rather than biological sex. This study examines disparities in overall health among transgender men, transgender women, gender-nonconforming adults, and cisgender (nontransgender) men and women in the U.S. population. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 32 U.S. states and territories betwee…
The Development of Transgender Studies in Sociology
The field of transgender studies has grown exponentially in sociology over the last decade. In this review, we track the development of this field through a critical overview of the sociological scholarship from the last 50 years. We identify two major paradigms that have characterized this research: a focus on gender deviance (1960s-1990s) and a focus on gender difference (1990s-present). We then examine three major areas of study that represent…
