Abstract
Inequality issues on the grounds of gender discrimination against a protected group are a persistent problem in many countries. In contrast to Goal 5 of SDGs, gender inequality among trans-women individuals whose gender identity is incongruent to a sex assigned at birth, provides various adverse situations in many societies. Such challenges have been necessitated innovating better directions in order to foster them. In Thailand, trans-women persons frequently confront a unique challenge based on their identity regardless of their economic and social setting. We are still a long way from goal 8 of SDGs in terms of exclusion on employment opportunities toward trans-women employees, one way to mitigate this problem is to find related factors which can be adopted by pertinent agencies. This research commenced as an idea for raising the visibility and voices of trans-women’s rights in respect to career advancement through elaboration of gender discrimination at work and its impact on private organizations located in Bangkok. By utilizing a combination of methods, the experiences of 437 trans-women employees working in private organizations were theoretically examined to determine what is the extent to which individual factors, organizational factors, steps of transitioning, and sexual disclosure affect gender discrimination at work against them. Comprehensively, qualitative investigation via observation and in-depth interviews were also conducted along the lines of LGBTQI diversity and inclusion forums and gender diversity experts as well as trans-women informants in order to clarify scenarios of this unjust situation. The research contribution, however, is expected to increase empirical information of the unbreakable glass-ceiling toward Thai trans-women’s job opportunity while proposing necessary recommendations for the related social agencies, private and public sectors.
