Abstract

Researchers found that Transgender Nonbinary Individuals were significantly more likely to be recommended for teaching positions involving older children (grades 4-8) when compared to equally qualified cisgender applicants, who were more likely to be recommended for positions involving younger children (JK-grade 3). This reveals underlying discrimination during the hiring process.
