See
this from yesterday's
New York Times on what happens to the salaries of those who have sex change operations, male to female and female to male. Here's an excerpt:
You might expect that anybody who has had a sex change, or even just cross-dresses on occasion, would suffer a wage cut because of social stigmatization. Wrong, or at least partly wrong. Turns out it depends on the direction of the change: the study found that earnings for male-to-female transgender workers fell by nearly one-third after their gender transitions, but earnings for female-to-male transgender workers increased slightly.
Thanks to Sally Schwettmann, '04 for calling this to my attention.
