Transgender

America dumbfounded. Transgender individuals are set to be banned from enlisting in the military. Although it is true that transgender individuals are generally more high maintenance than others, the United States Military is more than capable of supporting the transgender minority. Excluding a perfectly qualified candidate who wishes to enlist in the military is a step backwards. Everybody eligible to join the military should have the right to do so. Why shouldn’t transgender people be…

Transgender Issues In light of all the Caitlyn Jenner hysteria, I presumed it would be useful to touch on the barbaric manner people in the transgender community are treated. It appears as if many anti-transgender people are becoming more against the “unnatural” process of becoming a different sex than the one that was assigned at birth. God arguments are completely invalid on this subject, however. Not to burst the bubble of any conservatives out there, but if you find that the mere fact that…

threatened by Trumps attempt to ban transgenders from the military. The Obama-era plan allowed transgenders to serve in the armed forces, but was put to a halt by President Trump (Diamond).

“Transgender People in The Media” When thinking about gender and the media, I am immediately drawn to the work of Laverne Cox. As stated in “Bell Hooks: A Conversation with Laverne Cox,” Laverne is an award-winning actress, producer and advocate for not only transgender women, but women of color and anyone who goes against the status quo. For my main source, I have chosen to use the dialogue from the inaugural talk with Bell Hooks and Laverne Cox at The Bell Hooks Institute, “a new center in…

bring to light the different positions on varying debates. Recently there has been a dispute over transgender restroom use. The dilemma: should transgender people use the restroom they identify with or birth gender? Although many feel that transgender people deserve the right to choose freely, that freedom comes with many risks and identifying one's gender cannot be changed by mere choice. Transgender people should use the restrooms they were assigned at birth because with the alternative people…

Over the past five years, debate over whether transgenders should be allowed in public restrooms has been a topic of concern for the American people.

The enlightenment given by my mother has opened my mind to better understand myself. Hitherto, I only discern my existence as a homosexual. I never once thought that myself is a transgender or anything connected therewith. I was just careless to learn about the differences between homosexual and transgender.
