LGBTQ + people continue to face bias and discrimination in the workplace. In this article, we focus on one subtle yet insidious manifestation of such bias: heteroprofessionalism. In workplace contexts, professionalism is generally encouraged. However, what is considered professional is subjective and often shaped by those with high status identities such as cis-heterosexuality. LGBTQ + identities are thus labelled unprofessional and inappropriate for the workplace context. We discuss (1) how heteroprofessionalism can be viewed as a manifestation of assimilation ideology that is employed to reinforce the gender/sex binary and (2) the negative consequences heteroprofessionalism has for members of the LGBTQ + community. We discuss future research directions and end with recommendations for combatting heteroprofessionalism and its harmful consequences.

异性恋专业主义：工作场所中性别/性别二元论的力量


LGBTQ + 人群在工作场所继续面临偏见和歧视。在本文中，我们关注这种偏见的一种微妙而阴险的表现形式：异质性专业主义。在工作场所环境中，通常鼓励专业精神。然而，什么是专业的是主观的，并且通常由具有高地位身份的人（例如顺式异性恋）塑造。因此，LGBTQ + 身份被贴上了不专业且不适合工作场所环境的标签。我们讨论了 （1） 异性恋专业主义如何被视为被用来强化性别/性别二元的同化意识形态的表现，以及 （2） 异性恋专业主义对 LGBTQ + 社区成员的负面后果。我们讨论了未来的研究方向，并以打击异质性及其有害后果的建议结束。
