Transgender Argumentative Analysis

Reiheld argues that transgender persons have a hard time receiving equal care, or any care at all. I agree with Reiheld that transgender patients have difficulty in receiving the proper medical attention that they deserve. However, in this paper I will provide further solutions from Reiheld that decreases discrimination with transgender persons in America. Transgender persons in America should be treated equally in medical settings, and hospital workers should make sure that equality is served. What I believe being treated equally means is having the same rights as any other person. A transgender person, in my eyes, is a person whose self-identity does not conform to the sex their body was born with. Transgender persons in America have a difficult time receiving quality health care, or sometimes do not receive any health care. If hospital employees followed through with additional education and training to accommodate transgenders persons in America, this can ensure that all Americans regardless of sex, sexual orientation/identity, etc. are treated equally in the medical setting. Due to discrimination because of ignorance, and lack of awareness providing alternative

Transsexuals rank lowest in overall wellbeing (Gates). SIRS researcher writes, “The American Psychiatric Association uses the term ‘gender dysphonia’ as the medical diagnosis for people who feel their birth-assigned sex and their gender identity do not match.” Civilians need a better understanding that transgender people need better protection. People against transsexuals believe that transgender are “ghastly” and are having an “identity crisis.” Transsexuals need protection in the workplace, public facilities, and in athletics/sports.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion regarding the concept of "transracial" and how it compares to "transgender". Specifically, many are comparing Rachel Dolezal to Caitlyn Jenner, asking why the former is being trashed by media while the latter is praised. While I am white and cishetero, and it may not be my place to make an argument regarding this issue, I have heard many excellent points made my my friends of color and friends who are trans* that I do like to bring up when friends or family are making these comments. / / The first of which is that transracial has existed before Rachel Dolezal - but to describe children in foster and adoptive situations where their family is a different race than they are, and the way they 'act'

The purpose of this paper and the research therein is to explore the concepts of discrimination towards a particular group of individuals-transgender individuals. The reasoning associated with this is due to the increasing rates of discrimination and the multiple facets thereof associated with this particular group of people. The articles being used (five in total) provide an introspective point considering the negative impact associated with discrimination against transgender individuals and the resulting effects towards not only themselves, but also their relationships, their mental health; and their

I have chosen a point focused on the subject that is becoming a big argument for America today, transgender. Transgender has become a very big impact on todays society because it has many worrying about who goes in what restroom, who is having their parts taken away, and who is adding parts to their bodies. I pick two males that turned themselves into beautiful women. One person I picked was Bruce Jenner and the other male was Laverne Cox. I chose Bruce because he was one celebrity that made millions a little bit concern because he is a an gold metal Olympian, a older college football player, and is now really known because of the show, The Kardashians. I also picked Laverne Cox, because he is in one popular, yet my favorite show called Orange

Something so controversial like the subject of abortions and women’s reproductive rights will always be an issue to feminists, because even though there has been several movements and improvements in the subjects, it still remains highly debated. One reason why feminists believe they still have to protest this is because in some places it’s still illegal. Ireland for example, it’s illegal in all cases, even when mother’s life at danger. (Harris) Another reason feminists think they have to fight for their reproductive rights is because regardless of the growth and acceptance of society, it is still something that is typically frowned upon and some people feel uncomfortable talking about. There has been openings of clinics in Winnipeg and Toronto,

One out-group of mine is the community of people who are transgender. I do not identify with this community. In the United States, this group has expanded over recent years. Transgender people go through a lot of discrimination in the United States. There are many negative stereotypes and prejudices that are associated with this group. There are many people who are supportive of this community, but there are also many people who are not supportive.

The definition of uncomfortable, per Dictionary.com, is causing or feeling or awkwardness. The definition of unsafe, per Dictionary.com, is possible to cause harm or injury. The definitions of uncomfortable and unsafe are similar in some ways and are simply confused with each other, especially in cultivation. The major variance between the two words are physical pain is present in unsafe. Transgender is not new, the rights of transgender people is what is new to society, particularly in America. Recently the debt for gender natural bathrooms and if transgender people should be allowed to use the restroom of their preference.

Both articles were found on the internet, and although they were produced for a audience, it was accessible to all and all written last year, 2016. The similarities I would like to discuss within the topic can be broken out into two sections. First, each article used the emotion to drive the reader to a conclusion. They accomplished this by using colorful language to draw the reader in. Each article used emotion, and together whichever side the article was on played off the same emotion. Reading the articles that stated that Transgender is a mental illness used invoked the emotion of fear within its writings. For those articles on the other side, the authors used language that would invoke empathy for the transgender people. An example of

Currently the dispute has given rise to two dichotomous (and therefore co-constitutive) factions within the transgender community: the “true transsexuals” (also known by the sometimes derogative “truscums” or “transmedicalists”) and the queer-theory/social-approach minded “tucutes”. The former ideology understands transgenderism primarily through the transsexual standpoint as pivoting on a profound biological/psychological disorientation that can only be remedied through medical intervention; conversely, the latter claims that given that gender is contingent on exterior social indexes, changeable external influences such as culture, and internal understandings relevant to the individual alone, it can only be described through a framework of liminal

The paper studies the attitudes of heterosexual adult population towards transgender people, while simultaneously clarifying exactly why there exists some hostility towards homosexuals, both in the United States of America. The paper puts across the statement that the word itself (Transgender) is now largely used to factor out groups of people who apparently communicate expressions and qualities relating to both genders, not just their own. This description given by Stryker is frequently used to label people who have, using their characteristics and actions, “crossed over”(p. 251) or switched between society-created gender norms. The modern world, as a result of this, tackles the phrase with unfriendliness, even hostility, since they feel susceptible of its non-conformity. This view more than often stems from the belief that said non-conformity can be harmful for the society as a whole. The paper further states that the US medical and psychiatric professionals believed transsexuals, for a large part of history, to be “severely neurotic” or mentally ill with a disease or dysfunction in the functioning of the brain. It wouldn’t be wrong to assume that transsexuals have faced adversities and difficulties in other parts of the world too like Hong Kong, Sweden, United Kingdom, and etc. solely because of their identities. In my opinion, trans-genders will continually face

His mother holds up another dress, remarking on how cute it is and handing it to him to try on. She ignores the uncomfortable look on his face and tells him to hurry up. He sits in the dressing room in silence, looking at himself in the mirror, the dress hanging on a hook beside him. He furrows his brows, covers his chest with his arms, and stares at the face looking back at him. It doesn’t look right, he thinks, trying not to cry. All his life he had been called “she” and “girl” and it never felt right. No one told him it was okay to feel this way when he brought it up, instead yelling at him, telling him he was just confused. It made him sick, pretending to be a girl, but no one listened or cared. Due to the many misconceptions about them, transgender people face harmful discrimination, whether being told their feelings are invalid, that there is no such thing, or being killed for who they are. Identifying as a gender other than the one you are assigned at birth is seen as unnatural in a world ruled by a rigid gender binary, so understanding transgender people’s experiences is necessary for a safe life for them.

Transgender. A couple things probably come into mind when the word is spoken or read. “Abnormal”, “Confused”; even words more powerful and negative like “Deranged”. Maybe, hopefully, something more positive will come to mind when the topic is brought up; words like “Strong”, “Brave”, and “Powerful”. Unfortunately, most people will think of the first string of words when the topic of transgender is at hand. Transgender is a term used for “people whose gender identity, expression or behavior is different from those typically associated with their assigned sex at birth” (transequality.org). In 2011, only .3% of Americans identified as transgender. Recently, with the outing of Caitlyn Jenner (formally known as Bruce Jenner), it is safe to assume those rates have since been heightened; at least a little

Contrary to popular belief, transgender people (and members of the entire LGBT community, for that matter) have existed since the beginning of mankind. Sexuality and gender identity is an essential component to what makes us human; these factors determine our mannerisms and the way we carry or express ourselves for the short amount of time we have on Earth. However, there are some that dispute the legitimacy of those who may identify as transgender. This has led to harsh inequalities within the United States, where these disputers seem to oppose the very existence of transgender individuals.

Transgenders face discrimination throughout all areas of their life including their decisions to serve in the United States Military. Transgender citizens should face no limitations when they serve as a part of the military because the budget contains the money necessary to provide the services they need, it would not affect the unit readiness, and it is unfair to not provide an equal opportunity for them.
