This study aims to investigate the potential impact of signaling a transgender identity on the likelihood of receiving a callback during a hiring process in Mexico. Employing a correspondence study design, 512 resumes were randomly sent to employers across sixteen states. We exclusively used profiles of transgender and cisgender women in women-dominated sectors: sales and administration. Results indicate that applications from transgender candidates received 36% fewer positive responses than those from cisgender candidates. These findings corroborate existing evidence of discriminatory practices in hiring processes against transgender individuals.
