| Summary/Abstract |
While China's Constitution says everyone is treated equally before the law, employment discrimination continues to exist. This paper breaks new ground by analysing a quantitative survey of more than 10,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people, the largest dataset of its kind to date in China. Only 5.1 per cent of respondents were completely open about their gender and sexuality at work. More than one-fifth reported experiencing negative treatment in the workplace. Transgender and intersex people reported higher rates of negative treatment, as did respondents with lower educational levels and lower incomes and those residing in towns. Employer policies against discrimination were rare, but when in place, they were significantly associated with less negative treatment. These findings highlight an almost completely neglected segment of the workforce and document discriminatory experiences that could be addressed by changes in discrimination law and by employer policies and practices related to diversity and inclusion.

| Summary/Abstract |
Extensive literature has documented rural-urban disparities in China. However, rural-urban divide in the lives of sexual and gender minorities has been lesser studied. This article compares lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people's lives in different parts of China, by analyzing a quantitative survey of 16,976 LGBTI people, the largest dataset of its kind to date in China. It was found that LGBTI people living in cities were more likely to display non-conforming gender expression and less likely to endorse internalized homophobia than those living in villages. They were also more likely to indicate that their family members, coworkers, supervisors, and health care service providers showed accepting attitudes and were less likely to report having received negative treatment. A significantly lower proportion of LGBTI people living in Northeast and Northwest China indicated that their family members, supervisors, and coworkers showed accepting attitudes as compared with those in other regions. They were the least likely to come out in the workplace and health care settings. This article contributes to the rural-urban divide debate in China by adding the understudied aspect of sexual and gender minorities' lives to the research literature through providing novel empirical evidence from China.
