Document Summary
Trans-people are now staying in the same careers and sometimes jobs even after they under go gender reassignment/come out. How the outward appearance of gender affects day to day interaction. Can be applied and extended to sexual orientation. A shift from focusing on prevalence to causes. The data available is not very consistent: 23-51% of women will face gender harassment in their lifetime, different/wide range due to the lack of a good definition of what. One adds subjectivity that can add responder bias based on their perception: subjective wording results in higher rates of harassment reported. Problem 4 bias and distortion: harassment denial no, no, it didn"t happen to me" because it is psychologically hard to admit, others might exaggerate or misperceive actions as harassment. Macgloclan: do male female power differences lead to sexual harassment, what about when females have the power, just having power doesn"t guarantee that you won"t be harassed, predictions/models of sexual harassment.
