Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the article is to examine the problems faced by transsexuals in the workplace, in particular to analyse whether the applicable antidiscrimination laws in the United Kingdom are effective in preventing harassment of transsexuals in the workplace.Designmethodologyapproach The paper discusses common problems faced by transsexuals at work, including dress codes.Findings There are few UK cases dealing with these issues and the law has so far not been effective at stopping discriminatory behaviour towards transsexuals in the workplace. A more supportive approach is required.Originalityvalue There are few, if any, articles that specifically look at the effect on transsexuals of dress codes, law and organisational change in this way.
