@eames_taryn @ameliaUrquhart_ My personal experience while I was non-passing in a very conservative Christian state was that the more bubbly and nice I was the more I was accepted. Even when strangers made it clear they were initially uncomfortable with me, being upbeat visibly r 10.6K views · 200 likes · 1 reposts · 5 replies 04 Sep 2026 An important implication is that protecting trans workers requires recognizing a broader range of appearances as compatible with womanhood—especially when trans status is known. Full paper (my JMP) below. Comments welcome, and consider hiring me! https://t.co/vT3CsArJ2T https:/ 23.8K views · 323 likes · 11 reposts · 8 replies 04 Sep 2026 The non-passing penalty is larger in customer-facing jobs, consistent with employers discriminating on behalf of customers. Discrimination overall is larger in jobs where employers face less competition for workers, consistent with Becker’s model of taste-based discrimination. 26.4K views · 251 likes · 10 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 The non-passing penalty is larger when the posting lists a male contact. Male gatekeepers may impose larger appearance penalties in general. However, the pattern implies that they may also be more likely to infer trans identity from strongly male-coded facial features. https:// 31.7K views · 269 likes · 9 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 The non-passing penalty is not just about looks: it grows substantially when trans identity is also known. The pattern may point to a salience penalty. The same transgender identity becomes more consequential when employers observe even subtle male-coded facial features. 35.8K views · 362 likes · 8 reposts · 2 replies 04 Sep 2026 The penalties are: • transgender identity: −4.1 pp • non-passing: −4.4 pp • interaction: −6.5 pp Combined, the penalty is 15.2 pp—significantly larger than the sum of individual effects. When identity and non-passing appearance occur together, they compound each other. https:// 264.5K views · 775 likes · 64 reposts · 12 replies 04 Sep 2026 I separate these channels in a field experiment: 10,022 fictitious applications sent to real job postings in 9 occupations and 27 German cities. I independently randomize appearance (passing or non-passing) and trans identity disclosure (via a male-to-female name change). https: 41.6K views · 199 likes · 3 reposts · 2 replies 04 Sep 2026 Trans people often describe “passing” as materially affecting their lives and opportunities, yet there is almost no causal evidence on its effects. This also matters for estimating identity-based discrimination: existing estimates may partly capture anticipated appearance. https 37.4K views · 259 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies 04 Sep 2026 New paper: What drives hiring discrimination against trans women—transgender identity, non-passing appearance, or their interaction? Using passing and non-passing “twins,” I separate these channels experimentally and show that their interaction matters. 🧵👇 #EconTwitter https:// 249.4K views · 1.4K likes · 158 reposts · 45 replies 04 Sep 2026
