    The memoir, In My Skin, by Brittney Griner, was very inspirational and raw of the struggles she had surrounding her sexuality throughout different times in her life. I really enjoyed reading this book since I love basketball, however there were times I stopped to think how ridiculous and closed minded people could be. Here was this young girl just trying to figure herself out emotionally and physically while people made fun and name calling her. Her own father had turned his back during the time she needed him most. The college she chose to lead to various championships and wins didn’t stand behind her. She was constantly reminded by her coach, “Big Girl, you just have to keep your business behind closed doors” (Griner:112). This phrase mentioned a few times reminded me on what we learned about institutionalization…

    Another reason the Title IX should be modified is that it gives an unfair advantage in sports because the students born as a male but identifies as a female will be physically stronger than their opponents because they will still proses higher testosterone levels. The transgendered male student identified as a female student will undoubtedly be stronger than the other female students. Males are 50 percent stronger than females in brute strength, with about 30 percent more lung capacity. Male exhibit more upper body strength than females while females exhibit lower body strength, for example females have wider hips for child bearing. In other words, the male and female body is designed to handle their individual gender roles. In the meantime,…

Although, the WNBA is steadily climbing as the Forbes list reported “the league welcomed its current president, Laurel J. Richie, known for her marketing acumen, and introduced Boost Mobile as a marquee marketing partner. In 2012, the draft moved to ESPN’s headquarters.

    The N.F.L. is the King Kong, the N.B.A. pounds its chest and Major League Baseball enjoys an inheritance, but the W.N.B.A. the most successful women’s teams sports league in American history continues to fly under the radar. The WNBA's financial viability has been a continuous topic since the league formed in 1997 as an offshoot of the NBA. In many ways the W.N.B.A. would not exist without Title IX, the federal mandate that, among other things, created equal opportunity for women in college sports. The challenge for the W.N.B.A. is to cultivate a widening fan base that really cares about women’s basketball.…

    I believe we need to treat transgender people equally just like we treat heterosexual people. It’s not by choice they assigned a gender at birth. For them their own inner gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. The essay, Transgender Portrayal Representation in Media, shows that more than a half of people mentally got effected by the influence of the media. Misleading of media hurts transgender people.…

    Female student athletes have a dual roll in trying to maintain academic and athletic excellence while in college. These athletes are expected to perform at the highest athletic level possible, and then asked to sustain their physical appearance. “For some female college athletes, such concerns and pressures may contribute to eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors” (Greenleaf et al. 2009, p490). I believe female student athletes shouldn’t feel pressured into complying with society’s needs, by totally ignoring their own.…

    Title IX is an act of Federal Legislation that forbids schools to discriminate in an educational setting based on gender. It was enacted until 1972 considering many women wanting equal rights for participation in school activities including sports (Fields, 2003) In this day, a person of any gender should have equal rights and protection when participating in k-12 sports and activities. Unfortunately, many cases have had to overcome accused discrimination in this area of public activities. If Title IX legally forbids schools to discriminate based on sex or sexual orientation, then people of any gender should be equally encouraged and protected while participating in public school sporting activities.…

    There are many individuals who do not know about the increasingly common identity known as transgender. Transgender is a term that describes a person who identifies as the sex opposite of what is stated on their birth certificate. Also, a numerous amount of people don 't recognize the growing population of individuals who are gender-nonconforming, which means they identify themselves as neither man nor woman. To a large sum of transgender people life is the equivalent of being trapped in a cage, a cage that is your own body. They struggle daily with being reminded of the identity society labels them as and not the identity they envision themselves to be. Even within the LGBT community, they are in the shadows waiting to be noticed and trying to cry for help, but they are always silenced by the more common LGBT family. The “T” in LGBT has always been there, but it has been pushed aside until now. In 2013, the feuded debates started to arise between the Republican politician consultant behind Prop.8 Frank Schubert, conservative coalition groups, evangelical voters; and the Transgender Law Center, Gender Public Advocacy Coalition, students, and the Williams Institute Manager of Transgender Research, Jody L. Herman. The question has arisen: should it be acceptable for transgender people to use public facilities based on their gender identity? The belief discussed by the Law center, Williams Institute, and the Gender Public Advocacy Coalition and many others within the LGBT community is that Transgender individuals need a safe place to go to the restroom without fear of verbal or physical violence (Davis). All they want is to use the restroom like everyone else, but conservatives have a different opinion. They think that if they allow this to happen, it will open up the door to the possibilities of an increase number of sex crimes due to people falsely representing themselves as transgender or even confusion to those who simply…
