Abstract

The wage gap is a continuing issue, not just for women but also for their families and anyone who believes that people who work identical jobs and have identical experience should get paid the same, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. Raising awareness about this issue is a worthy goal, and the National Women’s Law Center has spent tireless hours fighting against gender discrimination in the work force, with the wage gap being just one facet of their activism. Yet their new ad campaign on the issue has become a divisive one. While some have cheered it as creative and provocative, many others have criticized it for being harmful and transphobic. When it comes to advocating for equality, they wonder, why is transitioning being used as a punchline?
