Simona Rodat examines the social practice of gender transition within work and power relationships. She not only addresses the impact of transsexuality on professional careers and positions of power but also investigates how transsexuality is processed at the level of social action and interaction, identity, and the body, including the emotional dimension. The author proceeds in two steps: In the first part, she develops a theoretical framework that encompasses power and action-theoretical aspects as well as dimensions of the cultural coding of gender. In the second step, she presents her empirical study, in which she identifies specific constellations.
