The presentation touches on the treatment of transgender individuals in the workforce both in the country of Russia and the United States. We begin with discussion of key terms that will be used throughout the presentation and the definitions associated with each of them. Following this is a brief overview of Russia, which leads into the discussion of social, cultural and legal aspects of the country and the role it plays with the transgender community. After this, the same subjects are talked about, but this time it involves the United States rather than Russia. The ending of the presentation will delve into the comparison of the countries and some possible recommendations that we are able to provide.
