I now understood how children feel about being transgender. When I become a father, I will not be hard on my children because it would be very hard for me to know that children are not satisfied, or thinking about killing themselves. My research revealed that gender dysphoria is a condition in which there is a conflict between a person's physical gender and the gender the individual identifies his or herself. It would be very difficult to determine how many people are transgendered. The answer to this is that there isn’t any organization collecting data and this is not tracked by the US census or other government agencies.

Joey took many tablets because of the trouble he would show at school and his parent not knowing what to do. Joey parents adopted a little girl named Jada. Whenever the family went clothes shopping, Joey always headed to the women’s section to pick out clothes. Joey parents eventually learned to accept their son as a girl and legally changed his name to Josie. After legally changing his name from Joey to Josie, the parents witnessed remarkable changes in their child. Josie stopped having tantrums, was able to sleep and no longer needed medications. The family was living on a military base in Japan during Josie’s transition phrase. Her parents believed that the teachers would have been happy since she stopped misbehaving but there was another problem when they sent Josie to school in a dress. Many parents protested and the Josie’s family received death threats. In an effort to rectify the situation and ensure the family safety, the military sent the family to Arizona.

Transgender children may face difficulties because they are born in a male’s body but identifies as a female. Their social experiences would be very difficult because they will not get to do not what they want to. For instance, the transgender girl wants to play with a doll but the teacher may take it away and say play with the logos because you are a boy. The transgender may feel bad because they do not want that. In addition, Mead said social experiences consist of the exchange of symbols. Transgender children may face difficulties because they would want to use different bathroom that does not go with their bodies. Another example is if the transgender Joey thinks he is a `girl; the male bathroom will not be a choice for him because her think he is a girl. The theories on socialization presented by Charles Cooley showed that we imagine that a significant other perceives us in a certain way. Transgender children may face difficulties because of how their parent may perceive them. In addition, we imagine that he or she makes judgment about us based on that perception. A transgender person may face difficulties because people around the world do not really understand the concept of transgender so they would say harsh things about them making them want to commit suicide. The theories on socialization presented by Erving Goffman showed that we act differently
