Transgender

Culture and science has molded society in such a way that it functions in a heteronormative view. People of different sexualities and gender; bisexuals, homosexuals and transgender, struggle to fit in with everyone. Since bisexuals, homosexuals and transgender people have the same flesh and blood as every human being, does that not make them the same as you and I? I will argue that heteronormativity is a norm that we as human beings should no longer follow and evolve to a more diverse and equal…

disagree, I think the transgender/sexual should have the right to use the restroom of the gender they identify with or have an alternate choice. Many could argue that it’s risky and dangerous, but imagine you were in the same position as a trans person. Some people may even agree with introducing unisex/neutral facilities. The dangers of a person of the opposite sex using the restroom they choose are very obvious, but is every person out to harm others in the bathroom? Transgender people should…

Transgender Being transgender is when a person’s gender identity does not conform with their biological sex. Speculating on how people are identifying as a transgender individual is a difficult and very controversial topic to discuss due to the fact that nobody knows what is morally correct. One author, Ruth Padawer, has brought the topic to light, presenting us with examples from one of the most prestigious women’s colleges in the United States. In her 2014 piece, “Sisterhood is Complicated”,…

because not allowing Transgender Children and teens to be themselves in one of the few places they should be able to express their individuality, shows them they’re not accepted and may lead to suicide, or depression. Throughout this paper, addressing the issues of Transgenderism, cisgenderism, and sexism will be the focus. Transgenderism deals with both men, women, and sexuality and how they 're all…

Transgender people are so hated in our society that bills have been proposed saying that any person of “questionable gender” should be forced to flash their genitalia before entering a public restroom; that is absolutely ridiculous, not to mention borderline sexual assault (Chicago Tribune). There is absolutely no reason for you to look at someone (especially a stranger!) and feel the urge to ask them what their genitals look like. Everyone goes to the bathroom for the same thing-to go to the…

The controversy about transgender students’ admission into a women’s college is calling much attention because of colleges mixed feelings on allowing someone who has changed their birth gender to the opposite gender into an all-women’s…

using the term “transgender” to encompass a variety of subgroups that fall within that category might in fact be part of the problem. By being “inclusive of the identities and experiences of some (or perhaps all) gender-variant, gender- or sex-changing, gender-blending, and gender-bending people,” the term lends itself to painting individuals of differing identities and experiences with a broad brush (Davidson, 2007, p. 60). Thus, in trying to reduce the risks that transgender children face, it…

Across the country as the transgender population in Americans has increased over the last several years, it has been controversial political debate over the rights of the people who identify as a transgender, of which public restrooms they should be allowed to enter legally. According to the video, a Wisconsin, Republican state lawmaker said the schools can be sued if they allow transgender students to use the school restroom of their chose. Kremer’s bill wants transgender students to find…

The Inward Battle of Coming Out "Transgender is an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity, gender expression or behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth (Castro, 2013)." Many years ago the world struggle with the idea of publically accepting gay/lesbian couples in to society, but as the world change so did the meaning of identity. The transgender community is aiming to be accepted, respected and understood without the…

become depressed being a transgender (Dreger, 2012). There are many reasons to be depressed. You really do not know where you fit in with life. If you are a male and getting you menstrual cycle, you can not compare what you are going through with your friends. Or if you are a female that has testis, your girl friend will not understand what you are going through. You really would not know what everyone will think of you. And when you finally come out and say that you are transgender, you may be…
