The nation constantly goes through many controversial issues based on gender, race, religion and more. One current issue that has received extreme amounts of media attention is the transgendered bathroom bill. Essentially the bill ban’s transgendered individuals from using public restrooms that is not their original sex. Many people believe this bill is important and needs to be enforced so that further issues can be prevented. Such as individuals abusing their right and claiming to be something that they are not which can create situations for perverts, molestation, and rape. However other individuals feel that the bathroom bill violates their constitutional rights.

Junior year I walked into the female bathroom like usual, and a transgendered student was in there with his boyfriend. I no longer had the urge to use the bathroom. With the issue at hand I was not mad or upset just disturbed and uncomfortable. I do not wish to use the “female bathroom” if a transgendered male makes it uncomfortable for me. If the bill is not passed school systems will have to accommodate for this issue. The next question is how do you properly accommodate transgendered individuals? Do you add a third bathroom for transgender people, do you make all bathrooms neutral, or do you just make multiple family bathrooms? Whatever the case may be this issue will not stop at just the bathrooms. In order to dress out for gym you have male and female locker rooms. So how would you address the situation of transgendered students needing an appropriate place to dress out for gym? The bathroom bill should be passed because it avoids multiple unnecessary issues. My culture consists of being and African America, female, straight, Christian, and young. As a Christian it is believed that we shouldn’t physically change our body parts or have relations with the same sex. My religion does influence my perspective on the bathroom bill. I am led to believe that being transgendered is not okay and fighting for them to use the opposite bathrooms is not right. However I am a young, …show more content…
I love men, I like men and have a boyfriend. Being straight would have to influence my perspective the most since I am viewing this issue through a “straight lense” and not an open mind. Having no clue of what a transgendered person feels like or even thinks about while entering a restroom. They might possibly think that they are the only uncomfortable ones in the situation, but they aren’t. Floyd states that “Open-mindedness requires first being mindful of potential differences and then avoiding the tendency to judge all differences negatively (Floyd, 45). This quote means that I should be more open to the transgendered cultural issues even though subconsciously my culture influences my thoughts and decisions.
For me to change my position on the bathroom bill a convenient and efficient solution must be made to address the issue. Some colleges and universities have renovated their bathrooms making them gender-neutral by simply changing the signs (……….). This simple solution is reasonable and I believe quite effective on handling the situation. Locker rooms, though have been renovated or new ones have been built instead. When this inconvenient action occurs I no longer wish to possibly change my decision on this controversial
