A recent survey of over 1,400 biologists revealed that around 40% of those identifying as transgender or gender-nonconforming faced offensive and intimidating behavior in their workplaces. Additionally, nearly 20% of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer respondents reported similar experiences. The study highlights a stark contrast in workplace morale and belongingness among TGNC biologists compared to their cisgender peers. Conducted by five professional societies, the study included a wide demographic of respondents and advocates for the pressing need for inclusivity in scientific fields.
