Because the population of transgender employees is typically low based on the results of prior research (Swan & Mazur, 2002) the researcher intends to elicit a peer-based review to ensure the information gathered and conclusions made are valid and sustainable should anyone follow up on the proposed dissertation. The following dependent variables are proposed by the researcher based on information gathered from the previous research: marital status (Swan & Mazur, 2002), feelings, socioeconomic status (ACPA, 1995; Sanlo, 1998), self-esteem (Armino, 1993), and birth gender
Because much of this research relates to the internal emotions, feelings and perceptions of transgender employees, it is necessary for the researcher to identify the emotions, feelings and self-perceptions of transgender employees before and after transition for the proposed study. This information may be gathered through electronic or hand-delivered anonymous self-report questionnaires provided to study participants (Healy & Perry, 2000; Eisner, 1991; Sanlo, 1998)
Sex harassment is a variable most often studied in transgender research prior to this proposal. The effects of sexual harassment on transgender populations therefore and the subsequent performance of transgender employee's before and after transition must also be a variable worthy of consideration (Spindelman, 2003)
Understanding rather than interpretation of the results is more important for purposes of the proposed dissertation. To test reliability in the proposed dissertation, the researcher will also ensure the quality of the study, which if conducted correctly will generate greater understanding of the phenomena presented (Stenbacka, 2001; Eisner, 1991)
Validity for the proposed research proposal is best assigned when the researcher attempts to compare the results of the study to related studies especially those focusing on the target population explored and on other research groups. Because the population of transgender employees is typically low based on the results of prior research (Swan & Mazur, 2002) the researcher intends to elicit a peer-based review to ensure the information gathered and conclusions made are valid and sustainable should anyone follow up on the proposed dissertation
Transsexual autobiography that relates transsexual people's self-actualization via hormonal and surgical alterations has been a significant field for disseminating transsexuals' perception of accounts of their own lives. Futhermore, this is stressful, as narrating a life of trans-sexuality consistent with diagnostic GID "narratemes" is the medical standard of trans-sexuality, thereby being a determinant in going for surgical and hormonal procedures (Amin, 2014)
An analysis of this issue suggests that GID-affected individuals have greater psychiatric illnesses and psychological issues, such as like negative self-perception, poor self-worth, depression, personality disorders, adjustment disorders, and suicidal tendencies as compared with 'normal' controls. Studies into GID have generally concentrated on the occurrence of serious psychiatric conditions and psychiatric comorbidity, in addition to self-mutilation risks and suicidal tendencies (Duisin, et al
The 'wrong-body' transgender experience represents a powerful, enduring identification with a gender opposite to one's own. Such people sense discomfort with their own sex, believing them to be born into the wrong gender (Engdahl, 2014)
Stance/Thesis Statement Abjectness disrupts identity, order and system, and entails borderline indecision of a sort, which is confusing, polluting and appalling. Therefore, transgendered bodies if perceived particularly as transforming physical bodies, challenge systemic regularity's boundaries through a refusal to conform to explicit definitions of gender and sex (Phillips, 2014)
Each of their brains were imaged with a 3 T Trio Tim Magneton. Tract-Based Spatial Statistics were then utilized to assess that "white matter fibers of the whole brain" after the researchers performed fractional anisotropy (Rametti et al
The results of these two groups were compared to men who had no gender identity issues. The scans were performed by utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging at 3-Tesla and analyzed via "a mental rotation paradigm with proven sexual dimorphism" and SPM5 (Schoning, Engelien, Bauer et al
there is debate about a bathroom bill in North Carolina, which criminalizes using the inappropriate bathroom according to biological gender. Following on the heels of this controversial bill, presidential hopeful Donald Trump announced that celebrity male-to-female transgender Caitlyn Jenner can use any bathroom in Trump Tower that she wants to use -- which she promptly did in public (Zaru, 2016)
Big Five Personality Dimensions and Transgenderism The Big Five of Five-Factor personality theory which classifies the human character according to dimensions of openness, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism is one of the most popular personality theories still in circulation today. Of course, the question immediately arises -- why these five? Why are these characteristics considered particularly important and of interest? The five factors have been determined to be cross-cultural in nature, at least according to its advocates, and relatively stable over the duration of an individual's lifespan (Acton 2006)
Openness The definition of the characteristics of openness "would include adventurousness, imagination, curiosity, and emotionality" (Scutti 2007). It also refers to "how willing people are to make adjustments in notions and activities in accordance with new ideas or situations" (Popkins 1998)
This paper will explore how transgendered individuals might be affected by Big Five personality traits. Openness The definition of the characteristics of openness "would include adventurousness, imagination, curiosity, and emotionality" (Scutti 2007)
A number of the subjects in the Time article indicated that greater personal openness or the willingness to explore other options outside of the gendered determinants of accepted society would have helped them realize who they were at an earlier stage of life. "If the Internet had any meaningful sense when I was 21 I would have figured it out," notes one of the subjects in the article (Steinmetz, 2014, p
e. high on neuroticism), you'll remain a difficult and maladjusted adult all through your life" but people who successfully achieve a new identity and develop a more positive relationship with their transgender identity may not necessarily experience depression as a life-long problem (Whitbourne 2010)
It is not only the garments matter with most cross dressers, but also the habits being associated with the opposite sex. This is for the reason that some cross dressers do not only wear panties and a bra, but convincingly portrays the opposite gender strongly and socially participates as the opposite gender, even if just temporarily (Dailey, 2015)
Distinguish Between a Transvestite, a Transgender, a Cross-Dresser, and a Drag Queen A person who notwithstanding of their reasons, regularly wears another gender's clothing is generally referred to as a "Cross dresser" (Moorer, n
d). People who typically decline to take the "given" gender binary as a result of pathologizing in terming one's occurrence as transsexual, on the other hand, are referred to as Transgender (Vidal-Ortiz, 2008)
