    Though transsexuals have this oasis from judgment, bisexuals often do not share the same comforts. Bisexuals of both binary genders suffer a disregard of their identity from the outside heterosexual world. Females deal with their sexuality being seen not as an identity but as a label that pornography companies throw around as an erotic bonus to anything that needs it. The female bisexual label is entirely normalized. Jenny Kangasvuo (2007) writes: In porn magazines, the term 'bisexuality' serves multiple purposes and it is not pinned…

    Heteronormativity is the assumption that everyone is heterosexual. This is obviously not the case in today’s society; Lesbian feminism is the resistance to this ideal, it “links sexual desire for other women, women’s independent lifestyles, and women’s friendships with the idea of women’s culture and knowledge, producing a movement of resistance to a gendered social order” (Lorber pg.152). Lesbian feminism moves to show society that there is no such thing as gendered roles without heteronormativity, with this comes a great debate on whether this is just a resistance to the conventional family or…

    To most people, it may be difficult to fully understand the many obstacles that trans people face on a daily basis. They face huge disparities in almost every facet of society. Employers and landlords may gainsay people jobs and homes because they don't conform to gender norms, which is licit to do in 31 states. The 2011 National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS) found trans people are approximately four times as likely to live in extreme impecuniosity compared to the general population. NTDS found 57 percent of trans people report family abnegation.…

    Intersex issues have gained increasing attention in academic, medical, and legal circles over the past two decades. At the forefront of the discussion is the issue of gender assignment surgery, including ethical questions regarding whether gender assignment surgery is appropriate for infants who cannot consent. In some cases, surgical responses are necessary to address intersex conditions that threaten the life of the child, such as with cloacal exstrophy and salt-losing CAH. In those cases, it would be impractical for a physician to wait till the infant can provide consent to proceed with treatment.…

    Gay marriage is an issue that is similar to nearly every controversial issue in America History. Most conscientious social issues in America life begin with a large majority of traditionalists pushing back, then some dramatic event event will usually occur, following that public opinion will slowly start to even out, and eventually past actions/ideas will be seen as prejudiced. It's like America collectively goes through the stages of grief before we see social justice: Denial, a lot of anger, barraging, sadness, and then finally acceptance. Along with million of Americans who felt similarly, we saw denial in Senator Jesse Helms by saying that homosexuals were morally wrenched, and believing that homosexuality was a choice. Collectively, we saw the anger in families across the country disowning their children; similarly there was anger in the viscous murder of Matthew Shepard.…

    Non-Binary and Transgender People When a child is born the first thing their parents hear is, “Congratulations it’s a girl,” or “Congratulations it’s a boy”. Already trying to enforce the idea that there are only two genders the moment they take their first breath.

This social construct is iterated on a daily basis whether it is through medical institutions, language or applications. As a result of its dominance in society, the gender binary system is highly exclusive towards non-binary and transgender people.…

    Heterosexism And Real Sex

    At what point are sexual actions considered “real sex”? Could an act of oral stimulation of the genitals be equivalent to penetrative, penile-vaginal sex? A society dominated by heterosexism and, in turn, heteropatriarchy, holds the discourse that, while all sexual acts may be equally pleasurable, one act, in particular, is the only legitimate way to “make love”. By assuming that every person is inherently “straight”, heterosexism poses a compelling argument as to why penile-vaginal sex is the only action that is marked as a “homerun” on the scoreboard.…

    Same-Sex Schools Controversy over gender-segregated versus coeducational classrooms has raged over the past several decades. Among the arguments there are four primary sources of contention. These include socialization, stereotyping, academic gain/loss, and whether or not students should be allowed an option between coed or single-sex classes. Opponents claim that the negatives far outweigh the positives for both boys and girls while supporters of this system of classroom division maintain that students profit in numerous ways. “In the United States, part of the rationale for single-sex schooling is the view that adolescents create a culture in school that is at odds with academic performance and achievement” (Hughes).…
