transsexual people have very specific needs‚ including legal and medical‚ which are often overlooked in the LGBT movement and side skirted in many conversations in some transgender spaces. Specifically‚ I am thinking about certain theoretical conversations that go on in the genderqueer community and people who identify as transgender but do not pursue body modifications. As someone who got into a certain trans community identifying heavily as genderqueer and not at the time pursuing or showing a

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. I wish we could live a world everybody treated equally regardless

want to live your life‚ except now some of these decisions are being taken away from the rights of citizens. When I say this I am referring to relatively new controversy around transgender bathrooms in the United States.

The Progression of Transgender Rights in the Workplace Since 1975‚ Congress has considered amending Title VII to include a ban on employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Most of the first employment discrimination cases brought by transgenders were dismissed because there is no federal law designating transgender as a protected class‚ or specifically requiring equal treatment for transgendered people.

Transgender individuals often times have difficulty fitting into society‚ due to those who don’t understand what it means being transgender. To be transgender is to be physically one gender‚ but mentally‚ emotionally‚ and behaviorally the other. Unfortunately‚ many people don’t recognize this. This leads to discernment‚ which happened to one transgender teen who was not permitted to use the female facilities at a High School in Chicago. According to the article‚ the student was “banned from the

Another social aspect which should be addressed is that even members of the transgender groups still feel the pressure to fit into what society’s norms‚. For example‚ when Gwen first started her transition‚ she believed that she would have to change her favorite activities to those more deemed manlier. However‚ when she tried to change her activities she quickly realized that feminine activities such knitting or sewing were not for her. I think Gwen’s experience really highlights that in our world

Like everyone else‚ transgenders also have freedom and they shouldn’t be forced to use a restroom they don’t want to go to. On the internet‚ I came across at an article in a website and it shows how much transgenders have been attacked in a public restroom. The article says that about 70% of transgenders have received negative reactions from other people while using a restroom. It also says that 68% of them reported that they were told to leave the facility‚ others questioned about their gender‚

It is the subscript of David Valentine’s Imagining Transgender – an ethnography of a category that catches the eye and clues us in to the important turn his work takes across its three hundred some odd pages. Unlike other academic works up through the time of this publication (2007) that have tended to align the transgender experience with queer-studies (Feinberg 1997‚ Wilchins 2004) or autobiographical/ “insider” narratives (Boylan 2003/2013; Bornstein 1993)‚ Valentine’s research instead interrogates

The morality of sex has been given wide attention because it is a principle to differentiate between proper sexual behavior and improper sexual behaviour. Since the sexual act is connected with the giving birth to children (human reproduction)‚it despite being a very private and intimate matter. People normally born with only one sex either male or female. There are people who unsatisfied with their own sex which most probably happen in man‚they undergo gender reassignment therapy to make themselves
