The fact that men and women continue to receive unequal treatment at work is a point of contention among politicians, the media, and scholars. Common explanations for this disparity range from biological differences between the sexes to the conscious and unconscious biases that guide hiring and promotion decisions. "Just One of the Guys?" sheds new light on this phenomenon by analyzing the unique experiences of transgender men - people designated female at birth whose gender identity is male - on the job. Kristen Schilt draws on in-depth interviews and observational data to show that while individual transmen have varied experiences, overall their stories are a testament to systemic gender inequality. The reactions of coworkers and employers to transmen, Schilt demonstrates, reveal the ways assumptions about innate differences between men and women serve as justification for discrimination. She finds that some transmen gain acceptance - and even privileges - by becoming 'just one of the guys', that some are coerced into working as women or marginalized for being openly transgender, and that other forms of appearance-based discrimination also influence their opportunities. Showcasing the voices of a frequently overlooked group, "Just One of the Guys?" lays bare the social processes that foster forms of inequality that affect us all.

從理論貢獻上來說采取瞭outsider within的視角;從研究設計上來說第三章可以看做是把fixed-effect modeling用到瞭深度訪談中做因果推斷(盡管Kristen說她從不以變量的邏輯來思考);總而言之就是amazing!

評分The very last reading of the theory course. Very interesting topic and unique research design, nevertheless the sample and data are too "narrow" to argue for its significance. Also paired with Dorothy Smith, who wishes to blow up whole discipline. To be honest, sometimes gender studies just go too far to be considered as canonical sociology...

評分skimmed. interesting research on transmen and findings on cultural beliefs about gender (F/M binary) using symbolic interactionist theories.
