Transpose
Training and Integrating the Transgender and Non-Binary (Trans*) Community in Tech

How do we do this?
We partner with leading tech companies, LGBTQIA+ organizations, as well as other NGOs to deliver specialized training courses for in-demand roles within that industry. These courses are conducted in a supportive environment, recognizing the values of diversity, inclusion, and equality, ensuring a foundation for safe and equitable employment.
How did we get here?
For us, active involvement in our community is meaningful and important, and we have consistently observed prominent representation for gay and lesbian individuals in workplaces within the tech industry, but almost no trans* community representation.
Investigating this brought up a few reasons at the heart of this underrepresentation:
The personal journey
The personal journey for many trans* people raises challenges in following the classic paths to tech positions. This creates a gap in relevant training and education for these positions.
Unfamiliarity of the trans* community
The unfamiliarity of the trans* community with roles, career paths and people from the tech industry prevents many from envisioning themselves in such a positions, or even fostering feelings of incapability or unworthiness.
Workplaces are often unprepared
The workplaces are often unprepared for provide an inclusive environment for trans employees. This lack of readiness manifests during the interviewing process through recruiting bias and continues in daily work activities, where stigma, lack of support for gender transition can even dissent towards trans* employees.
