Abstract

This article explores the need for increased awareness, research, and policy changes regarding transgender issues in organizations. It emphasizes the historical and cultural context of transgender individuals, acknowledging the negative impact of colonization and Western views on gender and sex. The article highlights the importance of intersectionality and diverse perspectives in understanding transgender identities and experiences. It also discusses the limited research on trans experiences in organizations, particularly outside of the Anglosphere, and the challenges and discrimination faced by trans people in various countries. The article concludes by addressing the role of cisgender researchers in studying trans experiences and the need for genuine inclusion and representation of trans scholars in the field. The Special Issue aims to shed light on trans experiences in work and organizations and contribute to the limited scholarship on trans issues in organization studies. [Extracted from the article]
