as homosexual could have a lot to do with a man homophobia. It could be, being afraid of what others might think of them if they interact with someone that is transgender. I think this homophobia relates to Gwen’s story, as the men who attacked her, seemed to be afraid of Gwen’s identity. They acted on the idea that someone being transgender was not normal. They could have also acted on the idea of being identified as possibly homosexuals, just by having interacted with her. The defense lawyer…

be able to live as the gender they identify with, without having to worry about how their peers will treat them. Discrimination against gay and transgendered people is as equally important as any other civil rights issue. Whether or not gay and transgender people feel safe at school or at work is incredibly important.

It helps fight the harmful patriarchy, it assists women of color with the obstacles of being a colored woman. And it profits transgender women. I think it’s best said by radical feminist, Audre Lorde,“To acknowledge privilege is the first step in making it available for wider use. Each of us is blessed in some particular way, whether we recognize our blessings or not. And each one…

oppose the transgender community do not realize that there are naturally occurring “non-binary” conditions that prove male and female genders are not theonly two that exist.Identity- what does an individual feel like internally?

Nelson Mandela once said "as long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest." The inequality and discrimination facing this generation is both appalling and disturbingly present in every day life.
