    Recent in the news I have been hearing about the Trans Bathroom Law and it genuinely confuses me as to why it is such an issues.

These groups are called out for their variance from norms and are physically and emotionally attacked for their differences. Groups such as women who make up fifty percent of the population in the United States remain oppressed by structures that were put in place hundreds of years ago.…

    While the US have been engaged in actions on the LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual) issues for decades, the “T” in LGBT remained silent. The “T” refers to people who permanently identify with a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth, or whose gender expression does not match society’s expectation regarding gender roles.

They have several barriers such as the lack of access of trans-specific health cares, obtaining government-issued identification corresponding to their gender identity or military injustice.…
