But these anti-LGBT bills, like the ones in North Carolina and Mississippi, actually make us less safe, not more safe. They open the door to abuse, aggressive and confrontational behavior in bathrooms, and encourage strangers to demand that women and girls prove that they are actually female in order to use the restroom. No one wants that. If one of these harmful bills is introduced in your city or state, please take a moment and listen to the stories of actual transgender people who live near you. Let's help their voices are heard over the fear mongering from the other

    Capitalism: Identity For Transgender Women

    Caitlyn Jenner herself was quoted saying that “the hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear.” Many consider it stunning progress that we have successfully integrated transgender women into the pages of our largest magazines and onto our television screens. However, an identity for transgender women was never established outside of the traditional female archetypes that support the perpetuation of Capitalism. Dozens of transgender women, especially transgender women of color, have been murdered in the past year.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Caitlyn Jenner

    Imagine waking up every day and having to pretend to be someone you’re not. Well, that’s how thousands of people feel every day who are transgender. Being transgender means a person identifies as a different gender that they were given at birth. In recent years, more and more celebrity transgender advocates have shown their voice for equality for transgender people such as Laverne Cox, Janet Mock, and Ines Rau. Caitlyn Jenner is a former Olympian and an advocate for transgender people.…

    Caitlyn Jenner Persuasive Speech

    The hype on Caitlyn Jenner’s transition has dimmed since her interview with Diane Sawyer and her Vanity Fair cover, but on September 25th it is legally documented that she is Caitlyn and a woman. Caitlyn is placed on a pedestal by her popularity on the Kardashians and her being an Olympic winner, and it seems unfair to the Trans community because of how Caitlyn Jenner knows so little. Her status also has helped her move through this process, not smoothly, but not as bumpy as most in the Trans or gender minority community. Laverne Cox another celebrity, who has become another face of the Trans community, lived in Alabama and she didn’t have the support of family like Jenner. She was bullied in school for being different and so pressured into being ‘normal’ that she tried to commit suicide (Breen 2014).…

    North Carolina Farmer In Bigotry

    Everyone who is not transgender and allowed to use the bathroom of their gender legally, is automatically privileged. Never will non-transgender individuals ever walk into the bathroom of their gender worrying about legality. Never will a non-transgender walk into a public bathroom and be judged, leered at, or observed with a careful eye. The New York Times editorial board article “Transgender Law Makes North Carolina Pioneer in Bigotry” writes, “By promoting the ludicrous idea that transgender women are inherently dangerous, the law endangers citizens who are already disproportionately vulnerable to violence and stigmatization.” According to this source, the law reinforces the narrative and oppression against transgender people.…

    Argument Against House Bill 2

    House Bill 2 was a law passed that bans citizens of North Carolina from using public bathrooms that do not match the sex on their birth certificate. The law went into effect eleven hours after being signed by Governor Pat McCrory, with no public input. Many people were affected throughout the United States due to this decision. This law is unfair to the LGBT community. Although, there are five different parts to HB2, my main focus is on part one which deals with bathroom usage based on biological sex.…

    HB2 Argumentative Essay

    Every year, there is a new controversial state law resulting in a nationwide backlash. As of March 23, 2016, North Carolina officially joined the reign of states that include laws that tear the population apart. In the past year, the United States has made significant progress in the fight for LGBT equality. Over the summer, we watched as the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges allowed same-sex couples in all 50 states to get legally married, and while the long-lasting battle for the legalization of same-sex marriage was won, the battle for gender identity equality was still at war. There is no federal law that prevents businesses and states from discriminating against gender identity and transgender people.…

    North Carolina Transgender Laws

    In some states there are laws against having a transgender male or female use the bathroom that they identify with as stated by Catherine Shoichet in the recent article “North Carolina transgender law: Is it discriminatory?”, These laws are seen as discriminatory towards all transgendered people regardless of race or gender in the LGBT+ community. Activist, Candis Cox a well known transgender woman says “ This law affects us because it puts us in danger, and it's open discrimination.” , to say that she is full of ignorance is to ignore the trouble that she and over a million others are going though. This law is created to demand people to identify as a human that is on paper, a human that is documented, a human who will remain the same in the eyes of a religious filled government. Safety amongst citizens is an issue in the government as well. Most politicians against Transgendered people and rights have one same notion in mind “men should be where men are and women should be where women are.”…

    Lgbt Hate Crimes

    Even recently, in North Carolina, our state government has issued what is basically an anti-trans bill. This bill (House Bill two, often abbreviated to HB2) requires that transgender people, regardless of the surgeries they may or may have had, to use public bathrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. Many people believe that this was out of fear that a trans women, who they believe is still a man, would try to come into the women’s restroom and harass women or children. The only time I’ve heard of harassment in a public restroom is from cis-gendered people harassing transgender people or people of the same gender…

    Should Transgenders Be Allowed In Public Restrooms

    Community baths and pools have been utilized since ancient Roman times to promote unity and peace. Allowing a community to join together and reveal their intimate selfs, during their baths, advertised the importance of a safe environment within a society. These ancient community baths can now be viewed as the modern public restroom. Over the past five years, debate over whether transgenders should be allowed in public restrooms has been a topic of concern for the American people. Transgender is a term used to describe individuals who identify a different gender than the one they were born with.…

    Synthesis Essay: Disrespectful To The LGBT Community

    While the laws continue to be disrupting the community and rights of women, the community continues to act out by having peaceful protests and marches throughout the world. A peaceful resistance does not negatively impact the society when certain members of that society are enacting in the resistance; but the others that do not participate are, in fact, deeply offended by it. Although in my opinion, it sheds a positive light on what the people have to say. Considering the new law about transgenders using the bathroom for whichever gender they were born as bathroom causes an uproar in the lives of Texans now; this law is not only disrespectful to the transgender community, but it can also cause havoc in a place where there should be safety and privacy.…
