    Maybe people should just avoid using public restrooms. Then there is the similar but different issue of locker rooms. Locker rooms are separated by gender to protect students, so how do we both protect transgendered students and cisgendered students? I wish I could say there was a simple solution, perhaps have four locker rooms rather than two. One for cis males, one for cis females, one for transgender males, one for transgender female.…

    Joseph R Murray II states that President Trumps ban on Transgenders serving in the military is unfair. Though despite having this opinion, he is for the ban on the basis that Transgender people are dealing with issues psychologically and pysically.

With that being said, I would have to disagree with Murrays stance. There are many problems that I see within this ban.…

    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.

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.”…

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…

Equally important when the prefix trans is added to gender and the word transgender is formed many people immediately think it is homosexual or transsexual in nature. The truth is transgender people are not gay nor do choose to have the characteristics of someone of the opposite sex.…
