A Transgender and Gender Diverse Critique of LGBTQ+ Economics

Olivia Compton

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Interest in transgender and gender diverse people has increased in the last decade in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and Europe because of increasing visibility and more inclusive surveys. The current literature in economics displays a degree of cisgender bias which can blind researchers and result in transphobic research questions and analysis. In this paper, I discuss how researchers benefit from engaging in a dialogue with trans and gender diverse people, the most common biases researchers hold, the results of those biases, and I propose future paths researchers should explore.
