Are you tired of pretending someone is a girl or a boy when they are the opposite? Gender Dysphoria relates to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex. People who are transgender often change their look, actions, and lifestyle. Many seek attention and want to be seen as special people. Sadly, people give them attention in which they feed off of and continue to bend this idea of humanity. This is commonly seen in schools, sports, and just…

In order understand the LGBTIQ struggles, one must understand society and how minorities are looked upon, especially those who do not act accordingly to sex stereotypes. For instance, in the past few weeks, media has sparked interest on Caitlyn Jenner’s transition. “Olympic Champion becomes a woman” covered the headlines worldwide and in a sensationalistic manner, reputable magazines and newspapers gave voice to transgender stereotypes through articles that do not contribute positively to the…

Transgender, what is that? Well, let me tell you the definition. Transgender is denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender. My definition of transgender is basically a man that is now a female and female that is now male, nothing or relating to a person whose gender identity does not correspond to that person’s biological sex assigned at birth. Now let’s argue! The question is should transgender students…

The Third Crusade was recognized as one of the most belligerent, unsettled disputes in the books of history. This religious movement transpired in the Middle East, when the Muslims reclaimed the Holy Land, compelling the Christians to fight back. Not many good things happened in this movement, since many people had died from fighting each other.

make while deciding how they are going to write their story. Will they write in first person and use “I”, and “we”, or write in 3rd person and address people by their names or use pronouns like “he” or “they”? Although many people decide to write in third person point of view, both the stories The Georges and the Jewels by Jane Smiley, and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse by Anna Sewell develop their characters through first person point of view. The Georges and the Jewels is a story…

George Boiardi was the unsung hero of every team that he graced with his athletic ability. George was a Cornell lacrosse player up until 2004 when he lost his life mid game from a shot that hit him square in the chest. It wasn’t necessarily his statistics that impressed everyone George encountered, but rather his work ethic and the way that he held himself stood out to everyone. George was truly an inspiration to everyone on his team. A selfless, driven, class act that wanted nothing but…

When you think of the words “urban guerrilla” what are the first things that come to mind? In addition to those words, what are the first thoughts that come to mind when you see “out of the mountains”? These are the keywords that stood out to me when picking this book to read. With not having any prior knowledge of either of these two phrases, my mind began to wonder when I initially glanced over the title of this book. Let’s start with the phrase “urban guerrilla”. Carlos Marighella, a…

Discrimination has been an ongoing struggle as far back as history can recall, and it is unfortunate that it is still an issue today. We have made tremendous progress for women, African Americans, and other minorities, but we are still in the midst of full rights for the LGBT community. It would be unrealistic to say that this community now has complete equality, especially when states like North Carolina pass laws allowing discrimination and refusal of treatments to the LGBT community. It is…

I entered school on the first day, walked through the double doors of the school and felt like I was alone. I approached my cluster of classroom cubes. I walked past the little toy kitchen in the lobby. Saw three different classrooms but remembered earlier that week when I went with my mom there that it was on the furthest right with the dog posters. I walk into my class and I see my…
