TRANSGÊNEROS E AS DIFICULDADES ENFRENTADAS PARA INSERÇÃO AO MERCADO DE TRABALHO

Abstract

Although transgender people have won many rights to society in recent years, discrimination and prejudice continue to be a sad reality present in the daily lives of these people, especially in the professional sphere. Even with the change in the labor market in the last decades where the creation of policies aimed at the inclusion of social minorities has been common, what is still observed today is a culture of prejudice rooted in the organizations regarding the diversity of sexual orientation and gender, thus hindering not only the insertion of transgenders in the labor market but also the permanence in employment. This article aims to address the issue of transgender workers and the difficulties they face in entering the formal labor market, seeking to analyze and better understand the difficulties faced by them in this regard. For this, an exploratory research was carried out involving a bibliographical survey to reinforce definitions and concepts on transgender, homotransphobia and transgender aspects in the formal job market, followed by a case study through a semi-structured interview with transgender people to seek reports of experiences and insertion in the labor market. Thus the research evidenced the existence of prejudice and discrimination towards transgender people in the labor market, proposing changes in the diversity policies of the organizations seeking to combat this evil.
