yet another study (Private Lives 3: The Health and Wellbeing of LGBTIQ People in Australia) that finds that trans women are less likely to be employed but more likely to have full-time employment, while trans men are more likely to be employed but less likely to be full-time, corroborating what this study (using USTS 2015 data), and this massive 2025 TGEU study have also found:
A larger proportion of cisgender men (50.6%) reported having full-time employment than cisgender women (35.2%), trans women (30.9%), trans men (26.3%) or non-binary participants (25.0%).
Unemployment/unable to work was reported more frequently by trans women (31.2%), trans men (26.7%) and non-binary participants (26.3%) than cisgender women (14.3%) or cisgender men (10.6%).
same Australian study also found:
Cisgender men (54.1%), cisgender women (53.6%) and non-binary participants (48.9%) reported higher levels of university attainment than trans men (31.0%) and trans women (42.4%). A significantly higher proportion of trans men reported their educational attainment as secondary or below (41.0%) than other participants.
The proportion of cisgender men (56.3%) reporting an income of $1,000 or more per week was greater than that of cisgender women (40.6%), trans women (29.1%), non-binary participants (26.7%) and trans men (23.6%). The proportion of participants reporting an income of less than $400 per week was highest among trans men (46.5%), followed by non-binary participants (46.3%), trans women (42.0%) and cisgender women (32.9%; n = 960). One fifth (19.9%) of cisgender men reported an income of less than $400 per week
Overall, trans and gender diverse participants reported higher levels of harassment and abuse than cisgender participants. For example, a greater proportion of trans women (51.6%), non-binary participants (49.4%) and trans men (45.0%) reported verbal abuse in the past 12 months due to their sexual orientation or gender identity compared to 28.7% of cisgender women and 32.7% of cisgender men. Similarly, a greater proportion of non-binary participants (57.3%), trans men (56.3%) and trans women (52.4%) reported being socially excluded in the past 12 months due to their sexual orientation or gender identity than cisgender women (38.6%) and cisgender men (29.5%)
