Transgenders: A Case Study

Substance Abuse and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Veterans Jeffrey Sams College of Southern Maryland(HMS-1032) Substance Abuse and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Veterans Substance abuse among our veterans is much greater than our civilian populations. This is largely caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, associated from combat, and who have endured multiple deployments. In most cases, veterans who have turned to alcohol or drugs have a dual diagnosis. They not only have a problem with alcohol or drugs, but they also suffer from a mental or mood disorder that has a major impact on these issues. In most cases the mood disorder is post-traumatic disorder(PTSD), which results from being in combat. According to

The programs are “The Housing and Urban Development- Veterans Affairs (HUD-VA), The Grant and Per Diem program, The Healthcare for RE-Entry Veterans program, The Veterans Justice Outreach program, and The Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans program” (Tsai, Kasprow, & Rosenheck 2013, p. 240.) The HUD-VA is one of the main programs that have expanded over the years that have supportive housing to end the homeless population among veterans (Tsai, Rosenheck, & Kane, 2014). With the help of a case management staff member from the VA this program subsidized the rent and gives vouchers to the veterans to use. Also, this programs helps with clinical outcomes with substance abuse. When they are accepted in this program they receive a caseworker to help them to set up goals to figure out certain programs to come up with a treatment plan or a plan of action to get them back on their own again (Tsai, Rosenheck, & Kane, 2014). The Grant and Per Diem program uses communities by funding them by offering transitional housing for two years. Over the two years the veteran will no longer be homeless, but also will learn how to attain stability in their jobs, have a steady income, advance skills, receive treatments for mental and addictive disorders, and to integrate from being in the service to civilian life (Tsai, 2013). The third program that helps homeless veterans is The Healthcare for Re-Entry it helps incarcerated veterans to reenter civilian life by linking them to the VA health services (Tsai, 2013). Some of the services that are provided are to help them not to become homeless again by linking them to social services to help with medical issues. The next program is the Veteran Justice Outreach program that is different from the third program. This program helps veterans who were involved in the criminal justice system to get the proper help by

The VA has take numerous steps in their effort to reduce and fight this addiction by reducing the number opioids received by veterans by 20 percent and began following up on more patients for depression and drug abuse (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2018). The VA also attmepts to offer counseling and support for veterans and

When people want to be theirself, doesn 't everyone deserve that chance at that much freedom? According to the national LGBTQ Task Force transgender people are not that lucky when it comes to the demographics of social media. On CNN website there 's an article that discusses how transgender people are twice as likely to be unemployed and four times more likely to live in poverty compared with the general population and these disparities are much greater for transgender black and latina woman said Emanuela Grinberg writer for CNN.

Born This Way There are many children throughout the United States that identify themselves as transgender. According to Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of transgender is (n.d.) “of, relating to, or being a person (as a transsexual or transvestite) who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the

A 24-year-olds bladder bursted after he was drinking a lot of alcohol and then jumped in the water. They said it was like dropping a balloon on the ground, because his stomach was fun and it exploded. He went to the doctor a few days later complaining about pains.he couldn't use the bathroom himself, so they had to stick a catheter in his bladder, blood and urine came out. He had a CT scan, and surgeons operated on his abdomens.

As a result of Bruce Jenner transformation to Caitlyn Jenner, it has impacted the world in a huge way. Presently, more transgendered people are coming out and requesting changes to accommodate them. For this purpose, plenty of people do not like the changes that have and are going to

It wasn't until Walter sought help from the Liberty Counsel that he was finally successful, by circumventing the court system entirely. Through them, he had learned that California’s transgender law no longer requires court orders to change gender designations on driver’s licenses, social security cards, birth certificates, or passports. Matt Staver, president of Liberty Council, argued that Walter was denied his request to have his birth certificate reverted to its original gender because activist judges in California were more concerned about upholding an ideology that promotes gender confusion.

One group of feminist that is often overlooked is the transgender feminist. A transgender woman is a person who was assigned the male gender at birth, but decided that they were actually a different gender on the inside. There are people who are against the transgender feminists because they believe they are receiving benefits from male privilege while being able to live life as a woman. Transfeminism believes in fighting against transphobia so that hopefully one day transgender people will be seen as a normal part of society and not different. The group of transfeminist are not only asking for the help of other transgender people, but also for the help of non trans women.

In the first scenario, I think it is important to be as open and supportive in regards to the transgendered teacher. The employee’s gender identity does not have any reflection on his job performance or work ethic. Thus, if Jay has taught at the university for five years without issue, his gender identification should not change the fact that he has been a good employee. As the Dean, I would treat all of my employees fairly and evaluate them based on their work performance, not on their gender identity. Foremost, I would research the laws in my state concerning the legalities of transgendered employees. The laws are ever changing and it is imperative that all businesses stay up-to-date on the legal precedence. After I had gathered my

In the book, The Transgender Phenomenon, a study was conducted of ‘gender blenders’, by Ekins and King in 2006. This combined the ethnomethodological understanding of gender and also the norm of (binary) sex. They demonstrated how medicine has been fundamental for how the sex of individuals is defined.

Throughout the year’s people have worked together so transgender’s can be treated equally. Transgender have been beaten and treated like they are nothing. Now its time to change this. Everyone deserve to be treated fairly.

At the start of the project, I knew I wanted to highlight the themes related to the experience of being transgender. While drafting my questions, I came up with open-ended questions, e.g. “how do you identify yourself?” which left a lot of room for different interpretations and responses. I also came up with specific questions or prompts that made certain assumptions like “describe the father figure in your life” assumes that the interviewee has a father figure. I narrowed down my interview questions to five questions that I ended up making the title of each section. All the questions in some way address the experience of being transgender but it's not obvious since I left the questions open-ended (with the exception of the question: “what does the word “transgender”

The exact cause of transgender identity is not known, but current theories point towards biological influences such as prenatal hormone levels. We do know that nothing a parent does or does not do can cause a child to develop a transgender identity. Nothing can be done to cause, prevent or

The Social-Approach Model In the West a paradigm shift change occurs in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s regarding transgender identities. This move emerges from two different sources; one, from a growing activist faction of the transgender community and two, from academia, where an ascendant poststructuralism/postmodernism from various disciplines such as the Social Sciences and the Humanities is challenging (or queering) the hegemony of traditional social structures, such as the essentialist framing of gender. Instead it recognizes, reifies, and disseminates a social constructivist or social-approach model to gender. Our identities are less an imprecise product of DNA chromosomes and fetal hormones than an enforced reflection of social mores and discourses. Just as biology is not destiny,
