Gender Identity Disorder In Children

Decent Essays
I agree with the parents’ decision of allowing Tyler to be a boy, if my daughter way diagnose with gender identity disorder; I would want him to be happy. Parents should be a child's number one support, helping them feel loved being who they truly want to be. I believe that gender identity disorder can be diagnosed at a young age, many kids have been struggling with GID for all their life, and felt like something was wrong with them. This generation is lucky that the phrase transgender is more known now, a decade ago transgender was barley known by us; making many kids feel broken, and not like other kids. I don’t see what’s so bad about allowing your child to be the opposite gender, even though it said in the article that 80% of them change

    In Patricia J. Williams article, “Are We Worried About Storm’s Identity – Or Our Own?”, William article sends a reflection feeling towards the audience and how they need to think about the whole stereotype problem differently and positively instead of negatively.

We should hold ourselves to the endless possibilities that it is soon to come. William…

    “As a toddler, Brandon would scour the house for something to drape over his head-a towel, a doily, a moons and star bandana he’d snatch from his mother’s drawer” (Rosin 274). The other question was what issue or roadblock would parents have to overcome when deciding on this course of action? The first issue is to listen to what your child is trying to tell you, and the second is to take him or her to a therapist for further evaluation. The most important thing to do is to teach yourself everything there is about young children going through gender identity disorder.…

    I wished they would listen to her, seriously and with full support. If I were in Jolene’s position, I would calmly talk to my family, and would hope they respect and support my decision.

    Gender In Children

    Since the beginning of time, there have been separate ideas about how men and women should act. These specific gender roles have been taught to the children which they carry with them throughout some of the most influential times in their lives especially in college. This is the first time young adults get to experience freedom in a sense that they are not under their parent’s constant supervision. Those college kids then take what they learned from their parents and combine it with what is shown in social media and how their fellow peers act. Unfortunately, this especially includes sex and men’s thoughts about women which during this time is mostly negative such as what was seen with the Harvard mens’ soccer team.…

    Analysis of the Development of my Social Identities: Social-Cognitive Theory of Gender Identity Development and European American Identity/White Ethnic Identity Introduction In reflecting on the theories represented in our text in regard to social identity development, I feel that the two theories that I found the most intriguing in relation to my own development were the Social-Cognitive Theory of Gender Identity Development and the Ethnic Identity Development section titled “European American Identity/White Ethnic Identity” (Patton, Evans, Forney, Guido, & Quaye, 2016, p. 149). For both theories, I will provide an overview and also present how they related to my own development of these identities. Social-Cognitive Theory of Gender Identity…

    With the rising prevalence and exposure of transgender issues, media portrayals of gender dysphoric characters are becoming common. I found a book and TV show that I chose to analyze. These two examples include characters that share almost no similarities except their diagnosis of gender dysphoria. The first is the character Sophia Burset (formally Marcus Burset) on the show Orange is the New Black. The particular episode I evaluated dealt with how Sophia began her transition as an adult; however, a multitude of transgender topics exist throughout all of the show’s episodes.…

    Androgyny is when a person crosses typical gender roles and engages in actions that both genders are associated with. An example of this is a man who works as an executive (which is stereotypically viewed as a man’s role), yet is also actively helping his partner raise their children (stereotypically viewed as a woman’s role). What makes the androgynous behavior more adaptable is that it removes gender labeling that has put people into a box of set gender roles. Androgyny allows people to adapt and respond to a scenario with greater flexibility, whether that be a masculine or feminine response, sometimes a blend of both might be necessary. As a society we've been conditioned to view women as the gentler gender and men as the more analytical…

    This documentary discussed many of the struggles individuals who are transgender face, as well as the many accomplishments they achieve. I really enjoyed this documentary combined with the readings for this week because it put into perspective the students that teachers may come into contact with in the schools, as well as realizing every student and situation is different. Teachers need to recognize that some students have very supportive families, while others do not have strong or any relations with their parents. Individualized education (when possible) is best to foster an inclusive environment for all…

    In America’s eyes people that are transgender, or have problems with their gender identity do not meet the standards of others around them. They are seen as weird, abnormal, or even immoral. Some heterosexuals are shunning their families, friends, and kids because they do not understand the lifestyle that homosexuals live. For example, some hereosexuals do not belive that homosexuals have the right to marry and be who they choose just because “they” think it is wrong. In addition, the idea of gender identity disorder and transgender is misunderstood by a large group of hetersexuals.…
