A necessity for any senior line management or business owner in the SME sector, and a refreshing addition to the literature for corporate personnel and HR departments. Kermode and Fae demonstrate a sensitivity not just to their researched experiences of trans people, but also to the needs of employers or line managers who require a deeper understanding than routine rule books or check lists. Individual experience is brought to bear on important legislation regarding trans rights in public and private sectors as well as academic settings. Fae’s chapter on data management is as richly nuanced as those on religion and politics or local and international work issues. The book identifies how individual trans experiences collide with work and IT systems, how trans rights legislation can conflict with staff culture, and helpfully provides guidelines for all involved to create a positive engagement that delivers wider benefits to the organisation as a whole. — Previn Karian, MD, Resonance Practitioners Ltd and Editor, Critical & Experiential: Dimensions in Gender and Sexual Diversity.
