Transgender Argumentative Essay

Many people have spoken about having a tough time accepting a person since the way they sexually identify themselves is different. Being identified as transgender has become a highly controversial topic around the world and part of the population does not quite understand why the people that identify themselves as transgender choose to do so. Some people do not believe in what it means to be transgender and let their opinions on the topic change the real meaning of the term.

“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them” this quote written by Aldous Huxley accurately describes the impact parents have on their children. When parents aid their transgender children in transitioning into the opposite sex they are committing child abuse; changing sex is unsafe, indecent, and permanent. Over the course of a month, I have been a slave to the library. I have read over 30 articles on transgenderism; The basis of my opinion comes from well-sifted through research. The definition of child abuse is the mistreatment of a child by physical, sexual, or emotional ill-treatment or neglect, especially by those responsible for his or her welfare. Parents of transgender kids are neglecting what they need

Humans have established their own rights in society for many, many years now. However, because some humans differ from the norms that are built in society, they are shunned and denied their rights until they conform to society’s norms. There has been numerous groups of people who have been denied their rights in America. African Americans, immigrants, Native Americans, and gays have been isolated simply because that is the way that they were born into this world and others do not find them “normal”. There is another group that has also been mistreated though; people who identify themselves as transgendered. A good portion of society is unknowingly misinformed about these kinds of people.

The experience of growing up LGBTQ+ alone is one of difficulty in much of western society; however, this becomes even more so when a person is transgender. This stems from many origins. It is, of course, possibly the most argued that being transgender is a choice. People argue that if someone can change their sex, they should be able to change their race or age. Many people say this out of jest, but some say it in seriousness, not understanding what people who are transgender are truly experiencing. None of us ever will if we ourselves are not transgender. In the film Growing Up Trans, we see parents who vary in their levels of support for their children. For many parents, especially those who hold their religious faith close to

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

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.

Juliana Huxtable and Robert Pruitt are the artist that I have decided to discuss about. Juliana Huxtable uses her own body to explore the topics of the heavy rejection that happens the trans community with their bodies. In the cisgender world, we live in if your sex and gender don’t correlate you are considered an outlier, when you start mixing race with gender this is when transphobia and racism thrive the most. Trans black women are the biggest targets in America because already you aren’t white and then on top of that people spew toxicity that “you don’t look like how you should” which targets trans black women of attacks. Juliana Huxtable through her works of coloring her skin this alien color leads to the conversation of what it means

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

Nobody really knows why trans people are the way they are. For all anybody knows it could be a mental illness, but it could also not be, which the more likely one is. One could argue that being transgendered is a mental illness but there are many explanations as to why people feel the way they feel. In the transequality website listed below, it says that transgender is not a mental illness and it cannot be cured with treatment. It also states that it can cause emotional distress from the understanding of their own gender. It also states that with our society being ‘very harsh on gender-variant people’ people have lost their homes, jobs, families and their support systems such as friends, which may in turn leave them with mental illnesses such

However, there were bathroom bills that were posed, and the backlash of states such as Arizona, Maryland, Kentucky and Florida, suggest that transgender people feeling are not valid. They should use the bathroom that matches the sex on their birth certificate. As a Corps officer of The Salvation Army, I have to say no with love because of our KeepSafe Policy. I have to protect the children who are placed under my care against predators, and I have to be aware of all situations. In contrast, I am called to love and express Christ-like genuine love to all people. In today society, if individuals don’t have a personal relationship with Christ, there is no real way they can handle a transgender person without being ethical biases. This is my opinion, personally; I don’t have a problem with transgender. I know whatever they are doing is not morally right under God's the law. Even so, I am not God, and that is their sin, I not here to judge them. I am only here to show them, Christ-like love. They will have to answer to God at the time of

Sexual Identity is at the core of several contemporary debates ranging from identity to the discussion on the abuse of power. Here in the early stages of the twenty first century fluid sexual identity is culturally acceptable in the United States, a person can identify with being a man, and in the matter of moments identify with being a woman. Amid this cultural phenomenon, the church is wrestling with ancient sacred scriptures that give conflicting messages concerning sexual identity and leadership.

Previous studies suggested that it might be complicated to find a big sample of transgender employees. Indeed, studies on that topic have not exceeded 263 participants (Brewster, Velez, De Blaere & Moradi, 2012). Target sample size (N=159) was estimated using G*Power statistical software, with α=.05, β=.8 and f=.25. Giving the exploratory nature of this study, a medium effect size was utilized. According to the power analysis I will study three different groups of 50 transitioning transgender employees (total N=150). The study will focus on transitioning transgender individuals, who have already started their transition by having taken at least one shot of hormones, but who have not yet been through the sexual reassignment surgery. Before beginning any study procedure, I will be sure to obtain the approval from the Institutional Review Board at the University of California, Irvine. Anticipated risks are minimal since the target population will be over 18 years old, and that the questionnaire is online and anonymous, which does not involve any risk for the participant.

Most people go about their lives without ever giving thought to their gender. They never blink an eye when they chose to go into a bathroom, when the room is divided by genders, when they walk into the store to buy some clothes and go to either the male or female section. However, there are many people who feel like they don’t belong in the section that they are in. These people who are generally referred to as transgender, struggle everyday with feeling out of place - feeling confused about which bathroom that they should be in or which section in the store they should shop in. 1 in 30,000 males and 1 in 100,000 females rank high on the Benjamin scale, the scale that is used for the identification of persons experiencing gender dysphoria

When most people think of transgender individuals their minds wander to the poorly portrayed transgender characters in media that they’ve seen, or they think about the numerous social issues regarding transgender rights that have surfaced recently in the united states, but most people don’t actually have a full understanding of what a transgender person is. Although most people in the

We are often taught by adults to choose our words carefully because each word carries a specific amount of weight. This certainly the case concerning the words, “feminism” and “feminist”. Depending upon the individual, feminism is viewed as the best thing since the invention of fire; yet, on the other hand, feminists are viewed as the spawn of Satan. I believe men and women are hesitant to adopt the feminist label for two completely different reasons. Concerning men, I think society, which generally has a negative perspective on feminism, would think lowly of a man involved in the feminism movement. Others may view men apart of the feminist movement as less masculine and possibly a traitor to his gender. Also, I believe most men
