Abstract
Transgender individuals are an ever growing population around the world, yet safety and health regulations are slow to respond and adapt to. Both gender identity and gender expression make for important points of contact in conducting social behaviour, and gender is constantly being produced and reproduced within various locations. The gender binary, while socially constructed, still remains deeply and institutionally entrenched and, consequently, transgender individuals are often caught in the crosshairs of this imposed binary. This content analysis examines the various health and safety regulations that affect the everyday lives of transgender individuals, paying specific attention to the airport.
