“…In fact, the only existing measure of implicit transgender attitudes (Wang-Jones et al, 2017, 2018) used an Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald et al, 1998), and found that implicit attitudes toward “transsexual men” and “transsexual women” correlate reliably but weakly with parallel explicit attitudes. However, this implicit measure had features that limit its generalizability.…”

“…However, this implicit measure had features that limit its generalizability. Wang-Jones et al (2018) measured attitudes not toward “transgender people,” but toward “transsexual men” (vs. “biological men”) and “transsexual women” (vs. “biological women”). Because category labels strongly influence implicit attitude measurement (Govan & Williams, 2004), comparing associations toward “transgender people” (vs. “cisgender people”) likely captures different attitudes than those toward “transsexual men” (vs. “biological men”) and “transsexual women” (vs. “biological women”).…”

Surprisingly little is known about transgender attitudes, partly due to a need for improved measures of beliefs about transgender people. Four studies introduce a novel Implicit Association Test (IAT) assessing implicit attitudes toward transgender people. Study 1 ( N = 294) found significant implicit and explicit preferences for cisgender over transgender people, both of which correlated with transphobia and transgender-related policy support. Study 2 ( N = 1,094) found that implicit transgender attitudes predicted similar outcomes among participants reporting no explicit preference for cisgender versus transgender people. Across Study 3a ( N = 5,647) and Study 3b ( N = 2,276), implicit transgender attitudes predicted multiple outcomes, including gender essentialism, contact with transgender people, and support for transgender-related policies, over and above explicit attitudes. This work introduces a reliable means of measuring implicit transgender attitudes and illustrates how these attitudes independently predict meaningful beliefs and experiences.

“…While their lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) contemporaries have made significant strides over the last decade (e.g., marriage equality in 2015; Obergefell v. Hodges , 2015), T+ individuals still struggle for support and representation. Even within the larger LGBT community, T+ individuals are often stigmatized for being ‘too queer’ or ‘not queer enough’ (Wang‐Jones, Hauson, Ferdman, Hattrup, & Lowman, 2018). Indeed, research has shown that even gay and lesbian individuals show bias towards T+ individuals (Wang‐Jones et al, 2018).…”

those who identify outside of the man/woman gender binary. Participants (N = 249) were presented with a vignette which included a description of a fictitious co-worker's sex and gender identity, and asked to rate the co-worker's likeability and perceived job performance. Results revealed that the assigned sex and the gender of hypothetical employees interactively impacted interpersonal and workplace perceptions. For individuals assigned male at birth, identifying as a man led to the most positive ratings, followed by identifying as a transgender woman, followed by identifying as a nonbinary person. This work expands upon gender schema theory and highlights some of the unexplored challenges faced by nonbinary and transgender employees. We end with suggestions for future research, such as incorporating qualitative data to highlight the unique experiences of these gender minorities in organizations.
