Workplace discrimination against transgender educators persists, particularly in regions outside traditionally liberal enclaves. In many cases, even if their workplace provides a semblance of safety, many transgender educators lead double lives, performing their professional duties during the day and navigating marginalized identities outside of work. Even the most progressive communities may exhibit superficial support while harboring deep-rooted prejudices, as demonstrated by this study. Consequently, nearly 46% of trans educators remain hidden in their identities, and those who are out face persistent efforts to isolate them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author's research reveals that 100% of survey respondents believe they were fired or not promoted due to their gender identity. With the growing number of students expressing their fluctuating gender presentation daily, the author emphasizes the critical need for strong and supportive transgender teacher role models. Written by a transgender woman, this book offers a highly engaging and timely exploration of the lives of transgender educators behind the scenes and provides practical strategies for individuals across various professions to become active allies in the fight against transphobia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793614117\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michele Dow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102313869562,"sku":"9781793614117","price":28.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648204091544_book.jpg?v=1648224955","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/transgender-educators-understanding-marginalization-through-an-intersectional-lens-9781793614117","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
