Before That Sex Change, Think About Your Next Paycheck

A reader just sent me a fascinating paper on what happens to the paychecks of people who have changed their gender.  You might expect that anybody who has had a sex change, or even just cross-dresses on occasion, would suffer a wage cut because of social stigmatization. Wrong, or at least partly wrong. Turns out it depends on the direction of the change: the study found that earnings for male-to-female transgender workers fell by nearly one-third after their gender transitions, but earnings for female-to-male transgender
workers increased slightly.
