The Pros And Cons Of Transgenderism And Transsexualism

There is a rising population of transgender and homosexual people in our society. A transgender is a person who insists that they were born into the wrong body. While they have the body of one gender, transgender people have the conscience of the opposite gender. A homosexual is someone who is emotionally and physically attracted to the same sex or gender. According to www.statista.com: “2.2% of adult men identify as being gay in the U.S. and 1.1% of

Hamilton I believe won this argument, mainly because what he proposed was the only smarter way to pay for war debts in the country. He believed it would be great for the nation to pay taxes in order to clear the debts. Jefferson highly disagreed with this because it was the main reason we succeeded from Britain in the first place.

This is a common belief that’s been bred into us as a culture but our growth has ruled this out as a because women who are not in a position of a helper are excelling just as well, if not better.

A cultural population that is possibly the most marginalized and misrepresented in health care, is the transgender and gender-nonconforming community (TGNC). Sex and gender are two different concepts. A person’s sex refers to their biological status as either male or female, or the assigned sex at birth (Bradford, 2016). Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture claims as masculine/male or feminine/woman (Nobelius, 2004). Gender identity is the feeling a person has of being male or female or a combination of both. It is how the person see’s themself. TGNC people connect with a different gender than their birth gender (Dickey, Budge, Katz-Wise & Garza, 2016), in other words, their gender identities do not match with the sex or the gender role expected by society.

This means that transphobia is comparable to things like racism, homophobia, sexim, and other forms of discrimination of minority identities. On the other hand, a Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival response in 1992 illustrated the logic behind their transphobia, arguing that "anyone who decides to become a woman has undergone has undergone the same oppression, and has the same bond of common experience as those born to it, is to flatten the experience of those who came to it by birth, and who have lived it since" (Gamson 190). These people somehow have the reactionary belief that transsexual women are less legitimate women. Another writer declared that the "woman" gender identity is not able to be adopted or taken later in life after birth as a male. This writer could have been a trans exclusionary feminist or cisgender black transmisogynist from the concert, but compared transsexual women to castrated, feminized eunuchs. Eunuchs are classically defined as “castrated men placed in charge of a harem or employed as a chamberlain in a palace” (Merriam-Webster.com). In this instance eunuchs referred to transgender people in an offensive term aimed towards a male who is seemingly effeminate, because his testes are non functional, making him a weak or powerless man. Nonetheless, the women who called the womyn-born womyn eunuchs were transphobic, but most importantly trans exclusionary in practice. They trans exclusionists discouraged people which were part of the queer community, by

As we know transgenderism has been around for quite some time now. Tracking back to way before 1998 when the transgender day was established. This day is on November 20th and it was established in order to have a day of remembrance for those people of the gay, lesbian, and straight community who have suffered from either physical abuse, assault, or both. Researchers of psychological advancements have discovered many new things about this rising issue or as a psychologist would call it a “disorder” with in the specific community in this case the LGBT community. However during the research many questions were asked by the American Psychology Association. Questions such as how the transgender community

The purpose of this paper is to specifically consider whether it is “justified to require two written referrals for genital surgeries as a rule of general application, and especially to consider whether in cases where a patient is seen in a multidisciplinary team a single signature might be used instead” (Bouman, et al., 2014, p. 379). Two signatures are not ethical because it can lengthen the time for medical interventions, the arguments to support two signatures do not apply to cigender individuals, and patient centered care would be more beneficial for transgender patients. The authors mentioned that the second opinion is never discussed in any current version of the standards of care, but they do delay treatments, especially in heavily populated areas (Bouman, et al., 2014, p. 379). A major concern is that gender dysphoria is one of the

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-IV is where these definitions and terms come from, in fact, it used as a way so that health professionals can be provide the appropriate care. In addition, in order to receive treatment and begin the transitioning process they first had to be “certified” as sane and suffering and be diagnosed with GID by a physician (Cook-Daniels 22). When people at the time were unsure of how to address them, this is what they defined them as. Now transgender is no longer looked at as a mental disorder with exceptions of few people who disagree. These broken barriers allowed transgender to start being seen as people, and that a mental disorder, is not going to define who they

In a lot of places around the world more and more people are coming out as “Transgender.” The term transgender means that the person’s gender identity does not correspond with the gender they were assigned as having at birth. From personally having a transgender boyfriend I have since realized that these people experience a lot of discrimination in and from society. Many people simply just do not understand what the term transgender means and they see it as someone just “wants to be a man” or “wants to be a woman.” While there may be people who present it this way, it is more so that the individual just “feels” different, and “feels” as if they are “in the wrong body.” Some people experience this feeling at a young age as my boyfriend did in his elementary age. We live in a world who put these people down for being who they truly are, and no human being wants or needs that.

Throughout American history, numerous influential social movements arose, such as the civil rights movement, the youth movement, and the animal rights movement. However, one of the most prominent and rapidly changing movements in the past year, 2015, has been the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement, the advocacy for equal rights between heterosexual and LGBT individuals. In this year, the LGBT movement made many crucial achievements. Starting off the year, in February of 2015, the Human Rights Campaign began a movement named the People’s Brief. The purpose of this campaign was to gain nationwide support for the LGBT movement. The group ended up gaining over 200,000 signatures which was many more signatures than any other brief ever given to the Supreme Court. The transgender side of the LGBT movement also had major successes in 2015. After Caitlyn Jenner came out, the movement changed drastically. It sparked many transgender people to come out to the media and discuss the inequalities and violence that trans people face in society. However, perhaps the most important victory for the LGBT was the legalizing of gay marriage across the country. This event happened on June 26, 2015 when the supreme court declared that denying two people the right to marry, regardless of gender, is unconstitutional. Even though just a few accomplishments were named, many others occurred that also had major impacts on the LGBT movement (“Best”). Although in recent months the

Previous to the 19th century, most intersexual individuals led ordinary lives. Their genital difference was mostly accepted as part of the difference which occurs in nature. Intersex was never a health problem (Daaboul, 2000). It was in the 19th century where intersex became a medicalized and individuals born intersex were categorized as “abnormal” and “diseased” (Daaboul, 2000). The drive of medicine in the last century has been to “cure” intersexed individuals by using surgical, hormonal and psychological therapies to make them clearly female or male. However, the practical and psychological outcomes of this approach have been poor. Many intersexed individuals have suffered severe mental and bodily damage from medicine’s efforts to make them

Most people believe that they deserve the rights they are granted by the government. An upstanding citizen who pays their taxes, serves their community and abides by the law should be afforded the rights of an American. However, not all citizens are afforded equal rights. Gay and lesbians are consistently denied rights that are typically taken for granted by the average American. Specifically, gay and lesbians couples are denied the right to marry even if they are upstanding citizens. They are held at an unfair disadvantage solely because of their sexual orientation. This discrimination must stop because gay and lesbian couples are law-abiding citizens too, who should be afforded the same rights as heterosexual couples.

Sarah is a beautiful young lady that just arrived at Gate City High School to enroll as a tenth grade student. During the enrollment procedure the school guidance counselor makes small talk with Sarah and ask if she played any sports at her former high school, Eleanor Roosevelt High School. Sarah says that she loves basketball and would be interested in playing this academic year. The guidance counselor tells Sarah that she will introduce her to the girls’ basketball coach at orientation in a few weeks. Sarah looks at the guidance counselor and states, “I identify as a boy and would like to meet the boys’ basketball coach.” Transgender students at this time have yet to express their rights in any Scott County Public School; however it is not a matter of if this will happen, but when this will happen and Scott

Katelyn MitchellJason ArmstrongENG Comp II TR 9:2528 September 2017Ready, Aim, Rainbows“After consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the U.S. government will not accept or allow trans-gender individuals to serve in any capacity of the U.S. military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical cost and disruption that trans-genders in the military would entail. Thank you,” President Donald Trump tweeted. The controversial topic of trans-gender individuals in the military is a constant disagreement; although, the people of the United States are working to solve this issue with the opposing sides’ legitimate views. President Donald Trump directed the military to ban trans-gender individuals from serving in the military, going against the Obama-era plan which allowed them to serve. Trump tweeted his statement on July 26th, and it was made official on August 25th. Since the final decision was made, it has caused a big debate amongst the two opposing sides.There are several reasons people think trans-genders should not be allowed in the military. They believe trans-genders are unfit for service; meaning, trans-genders suffer from depression, suicidal thoughts, hormone treatments, and ongoing therapy. Another reason trans-genders should not

When someone calls themself transgender, it means that they do not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. For example, someone who was born as a man may later realize that they are in fact a woman; this person would be called a trans woman. There is much debate over transgenderism and, specifically, whether society should treat transgenders as their biological sex or their gender identity. For example, if a transgender man (biological sex being female) wants to use the men’s restroom, should he be able to? The laws that would allow this are known as transgender inclusion laws, and the debate over passing such laws has always been extremely heated. Transgender inclusion laws should be passed in all areas, as there has been no increase in crime rates as a result of transgender use of public facilities, transgenderism is absolutely real and should be recognized as such, and these laws only brings benefits for any trans-friendly environments.
