Fascination with Bruce Jenner, an Olympic Gold Medalist, transition from male-to-female has sparked a rise in sex reassignment surgeries.

The only positive thing about having the surgery is that you’ll be happy. But, you’re happiness can change fast. Some transgenders have a good support system. A lot actually go to therapy to avoid the cons. Some transgenders regret undergoing sex reassignment surgery. They feel severely distressed and suicidal. Some even say that the medical care they received failed to prepare them for their new lives.(Batty) Many families don’t even approve of the transgenders decision to change. Which leads to suicide or depression. If you do decide to undergo this surgery, make sure you have a reliable support system, and that you’re prepared for the big change in your life.

Many think transgender right will destroy our society and economy. In the U.S, 18 states made it illegal to fire a transgender person just because they’re transgender. When they do get fired and it’s nothing to do with their appearance, some unhonest transgenders will claim that they got fired because they are transgender and sue. In which the win will most likely go to the transgender. Even if you do undergo the surgery, there’s no way for sex. It perfectly explains why some are against this

A few of the changes we have seen over the past several decades with public’s perception of transgender is that “more studies are exploring treatment for transgender people who seek it” (Glicksman), transgender individuals are now being praised and supported more frequently, and health insurance plans are starting to be offered from multiple universities. In the beginning, being transgender was frowned upon, many would refer to transgender as “nature made a mistake” (Glicksman). Another astonishing sign that transgender people are now more accepted than they were…

    A group that we looked at closely, radical lesbians who rejected trans women, were very adamant about how only those they identified as “real women” were acceptable in their spaces. Trans women were, to them, the pinnacle of patriarchal invaders of female spaces; Janice Raymond, author of The Trannsexual Empire, even went as far as covertly comparing trans women to Nazis, and “real women” the victims of concentration camps. Raymond also says that those who go through medical transition are inherently rapists: “all transsexuals rape women’s bodies… appropriating this body for themselves”. The decision to transition medically seems to be a double edged sword: if one decides against it, they will not be taken seriously because they are not succumbing to the societal expectations of what a trans identity should be. If someone does transition, they will be subjected to endlessly invasive physical procedures, legal difficulties, psychological evaluations, and so on.…

    Transgender Transgender is not a choice or a phase it is a consistent gender identity that as a society we need to learn to accept.

In recent studies showed that 75% of transgender individuals have experienced significant rejection from their families which brings up the issues of why so many families of a transgender have a hard time accepting the reality at hand and some never do. Being accepted in today’s society is so difficult because as humans, we are so judgmental, so I can only…
