More trans people are hiding their transness at work now than five years ago, according to a new report on trans discrimination.Almost two thirds (65%) of trans people do not feel comfortable revealing their trans status at work.
Trans charity Mermaids, whose Trans at Work directory compiles stories from trans people across the UK, said the survey “unfortunately doesn’t come as a shock”, given the current prevalence of transphobia in the UK.In a normal year, the Forum would find ways of platforming and supporting colleagues to celebrate TDOV, but with most of us working from home, and interacting on-screen, they are suggesting that we can show our support and allyship for trans and non-binary colleagues with a virtual pronoun campaign.
