ngl I'm kinda interested in going down a several hour rabbit hole about that graphic on trans vs non trans pay rates bc this little bit at the bottom makes me wonder
okay so like https://www.hrc.org/resources/... here's the study "median weekly earnings for full-time (35 or more hours/week), non-farm worker employees employed in the public or private sector" I feel like that's....leaving out A LOT of people
https://hrc-prod-requests.s3-u... "as opposed to unemployed, retired, self-employed, family farm worker, or student (“mainly attend school.”)" uhhhh
"Respondents who were currently unemployed (N = 1,129), or who were retired (N = 3,529), a current student (N = 180), and/or working in a different setting, such as farm work, part time work, or being self-employed (N = 2,160), were not included" THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
they seriously didn't include SELF EMPLOYED people?? I get that they're doing this so they can mirror it with the Bureau of Labor Statistics data, but oh my god the leftover sample is "6,816 full-time private and public sector LGBTQ+ workers"
here's another interesting part of the data: https://hrc-prod-requests.s3-u... if you'll notice: white men - $1,000 white women - $962
this study is also overwhelmingly not trans the CMI data shows that only 1,875 out of the original 15,042 participants (and remember, this study cut that down to around 7000, who knows what proportion is actually present) were "transgender or nonbinary"
and because I can't seem to find the actual data files, I don't know how to calculate what further intersections would look like, or how many trans people were actually in this study, let alone how many of the people who were reported to be unemployed were trans, etc.
@therapatical I was also very bothered by the division of “GNC” VS “trans and non binary.” Like excuse tf out of me some of us are both or all three and are absolutely affected by that. So why do only cis people count as GNC that in itself is transphobic af. Who is deciding these things?
@SLRacoonboy I'm not super surprised by it considering the original study group is focusing on the entire LGBT+ community, and anything that doesn't focus only trans people tends to make generalizations like that. it's frustrating
