Should Transgender People Be Allowed To Enter The Classroom

had was that they shouldn’t have any problem using the bathroom correlating with the sex transgender people were assigned with at birth. In reality, trans people not using the bathrooms of their identity is more harmful than meets the eye. “The medical community (and increasingly, employ-ers, schools and courts) now recognize that it is essential to the health and well-being of transgender people for them to be able to live in accordance with their internal gender identity in all aspects of life—restroom usage is a necessary part of that experience. In Doe v. Regional School Unit, the Maine Supreme Court held that a transgender girl had a right to use the women’s bathroom at school because her psychological well-being and educational success depended on her transition. The school, in denying her access, had “treated [her] differently from other students solely because of her status as a transgender girl.” The court determined that this was a form of discrimination” (FAQ, Lambda Legal.) Another counter argument is a social media movement where it shows fully transitioned trans people using the restrooms of their assigned sex to show that making it illegal for trans people to access the restrooms of the gender they identify as isn’t as good of an idea as people

They deserve to feel safe in school, be protected from physical harm, and use the bathroom of their choice. The progress to giving them the liberties they yearn for, however, is slowed by the naive human beings that compose our society. Our country is filled with people that view themselves as kind, forgiving and welcoming, but they do not fight for what is right. Because our population is trapped in a utopian version of humanity, we cannot promote righteousness. Nevertheless, transgender students need us see the legitimate nature of civilization. In order for our world to match our currently inaccurate picture of life, we need to step out of our distorted reality. Since transgender students constantly face discrimination and violence, it is urgent that we create laws that specifically outline the freedoms belonging to transgender students, instead of mimicking the vague list of rights already part of federal law. With definitive legislation, we can effectively implement change. By making laws regarding the rights of transgender students, and then rigorously administering those rulings, we can change the way our society treats transgender students, and dramatically increase their quality of

On the other side of the debate, people claim that it only matters about what you think of yourself. But, there is no way to prove if you are actually a transgender. NBC Washington states, “D.C. police have charged a security guard at a Giant grocery store with simple assault after a transgender woman said the guard forced her out of the women's restroom.” The guard was mistaken because the “woman” could not prove anything. She didn’t know if this person was a man or a woman because it is too confusing. “She” didn’t have a permit or a legal document saying that “she” was a woman. So, until you can prove that someone is legitly a transgender, they have to use the bathroom of their birth gender. Genesis 1:26 states “And God created man in His image, in His likeness; male and female He created them . . . . and it was very good.” Whether you believe in god or not, this proves that we were created to be male or female. We were not created to switch. Whatever created us had the best ideas for us to become successful. We were put on this earth for a reason, and that reason is not to change between genders. We can’t prove if a person is a transgender, and that adds confusion, and also creates a danger of sexual assault. Finally, Amanda Prestigiacomo writes, “A Seattle man, citing transgender bathrooms laws, was able to gain access to a women’s locker-room at a public recreational center while little girls were

Some people have a problem with transgender people using the ¨wrong restroom.¨ In the article “Seat of Unrest” by Sara GoodYear she explains that ¨The board is voting on whether he should be allowed to use the boys restroom at Gloucester High

Everyday people experience discrimination over things like race, sex, and beliefs. Discrimination has become a part of the American culture. The most recent issue is Transgenders and their battle in court over the bathroom bill. The bathroom bill is a bill that may or may not is passed by the supreme court, This bill would grant Transgenders the right to use the bathroom of their choice because it can cause a threat to men, women, and children who do use the bathroom that is listed on their birth certificate, however the fact still remains that transgender should have just as much freedom to use the bathroom of choice as other regular human beings.

Trans people should be able to use the bathroom they identify with, not the one of the gender they were born with. Being able to use the bathroom they identify with will help keep self-confidence at a high level of importance. When you judge someone for using a certain object that is “gender specific”, you destroy his or her self-confidence. One could argue that with people using a different bathroom, sexual assault could go up. Sexual assault could be an issue but amongst Trans people, it is not as common as it is amongst the non-trans community. In conclusion, Tran’s people should be allowed to use the bathrooms they identify with as a way to improve self-confidence and improve moral support around the world.

All around the U.S. schools have to make a choice, that would affect the students and faculty. Should transgender students be allowed to go to the bathroom that fits their gender identity? For many schools, this is a hard decision. Transgender students should be allowed to choose the bathroom that fits their gender identity.

How comfortable would you be if their was a transgender in the same bathroom as you without the same body parts as you? I do not agree with this law. There are 3 reasons why I do not agree with this law. First transgender having the same body parts as the restroom they are using. Second the thought and feelings of many others who do not agree with the LGBTQ community . Third just being comfortable enough to use the same restroom as the person who may be using it .

My opinion about this question is that transgenders should not be allowed to go in any bathroom they chose because no one would want to see a man in the women's restroom or a female in the men's restroom. “It's clear that a transgender person being forced to use a bathroom that is designed primarily for one sex rather than another would be disadvantaged, but how many students in any one school is actually a transgender? Are we supposed to build them an entirely separate facility, and if we did would that not make them stand out more as being different? It would be more practical to make all bathrooms

When going to the restroom, you’re always expecting to see someone of the same gender. But, what if you saw someone of the opposite gender in the same restroom as you are? Some schools do not allow transgender students to use the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity. Transgender people should have the choice to use restrooms of their desired gender.

From my opinion transgender individuals should go to the washroom of the gender they were born with, it is reasonable where originally they had the opposite gender of what they have right now and there shouldn’t be any problem on going to the washroom that they used to go to before they changed gender. Some people also are opposed and some are uncomfortable to transgender individuals going to the opposite washroom of their birth gender things could get worse, like when a transgender goes to the men’s washroom and someone who doesn’t like transgenders going to the washroom of the opposite gender they used to have could get physical and could hurt them. Instead they should just go to

The first article I found was posted in The New York Times on September 1, 2015. The title of the article is called “Missouri Teenagers Protest a Transgender Student’s Use of the Girls’ Bathroom”. Students at Hillsboro High School, in Missouri are protesting a transgender student requesting to use the girls’ bathroom. Lila Perry started to identify as a female at the age of 13. But, it was not until last year that she made her transitioning publicly known. The high school decided to let her use the girls’ bathroom at the beginning of this school year. More than 100 students walked out of class on October 31st, 2015 for an hour in a protest over the schools decision on letting Lila use the girls’ bathroom and locker room. Lila had drop out of

I agree with you in some areas, but, some I do not. No one should be discriminated against, yet, people should feel safe, especially in a place as private as a bathroom, even a transgender person. Even though everyone should be decent, we know everyone is not and I would not want the first reported case to involve my child. I have seen in many public places where there is a bathroom for women, men and unisex. Therefore, everyone have a place to do their business and feel safe without trying to see who is in the bathroom with them. I feel each state should have its own choice and the decision is not left up to the Federal government, because every state will feel different. I enjoyed reading your

There’s an ongoing battle in the State of Texas over who should be allowed to use public restrooms. Specifically, which restrooms should transgenders use. There’s strong opposition to legislation regulating bathroom use. Many Texans argue we should all use restrooms based on our biological sex (sex as stated on our birth certificates) but there is strong opposition arguing we should be able to use restrooms based on our Gender Identity (what sex one identifies themselves as). Those against transgenders using the “wrong” restroom suggest it is potentially putting other users at risk of encountering a sexual predator. While many are arguing if a person identifies as a

Have you ever been bullied because of who you are? This kind of bullying happens every day and not just to children. As our world is evolving there is more conflicts and debates. One of these are whether transgenders should be allowed to use the bathroom of the gender they identify by. Many people who are transgender face violence and discrimination just for being who they are. A study shows 62% of Trans people report being discriminated against because if their gender.
