Gender Expression and Transphobia: Cisgender Reactions to Gender Nonconformity Among Transgender Women and Men

The present research examines factors that contribute to transphobia among cisgender men and women. Specifically, the studies explore how gender nonconformity influences attitudes towards transgender women (Study 1 and Study 2) and men (Study 3). As predicted, participants demonstrated more prejudice towards trans people who violated expectations for gendered appearances.
