Transgenders: A Case Study

The therapist looked down at her clipboard, “It says on here you’ve been depressed, is this the reason?”

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

While drugs and alcohol are detrimental to so many, there are several veteran substance abuse programs available to help former service members, including VA addiction treatment and private substance abuse centers. Veterans’ families suffer tremendously as a result of dealing with addiction and mental health issues, but they also have a big role in the detection, treatment, and recovery of veterans.

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.

Grossman, Arnold H. Anthony R. D’Augelli. “Transgender Youth: Invisible and Vulnerable.” Journal of Homosexuality. Vol. 51, No. 1 (2006): pages 111-128. Web. 25 June 2015. Arnold H. Grossman, a professor of Applied Psychology at New York University, and Anthony R. D’Augelli, professor of Human Development at Pennsylvania State University, did a study of Transgender youth from ages 15 to 21. The study was designed to determine the factors that affect the youth, who either identify as transgender or their gender does not fit the normal gender descriptions. Focus groups were used as nonthreatening environment to examine the youths’ social and emotional experiences. The study not only provided insight on their emotional and social experiences but

Our nation is facing a pressing issue that no one can find an adequate answer to. How do we deal with the many problems that are faced when dealing with transgender individuals? These people have somehow snuck their way into our schools, workplaces, military, and public restrooms. They should be condemned for the actions that they take against us when they argue how we should treat them.

Substance abuse (alcoholism and addiction) and depression are other common factors that lead veterans to become homeless today (Goldstein, Luther, Haas, Appelt, & Gordon, 2010). Many who are dealing with depression or PTSD will turn to alcohol or to another substance drug to try to get relief or an escape from the mental illness they are facing. Veterans that are exposed to high combat while serving are at higher risks in using alcohol or other substances. Veterans have admitted to miss using alcohol from suffering from PTSD or depression or from both disorders (Helternes, Clouser, MacGreogor, Normari, & Galarneau, 2014). Veterans that are dependent on alcohol, who have higher triggers with PTSD, also have a higher desire

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.

Stresses the importance of transparent and impartial report of all the member states within a fixed deadline and make sure the government works for the well-being of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community throughout the state;

To really discuss the history of the transgender population, perhaps first it is important to define what exactly ‘transgender’ is. In a poll conducted by transgender activist Leslie Feinberg, the transgender population seems to define itself as a group of individuals comprised of anyone “who challenges the boundaries of sex and gender”. The transgender umbrella, according to Feinberg, includes: transsexuals, transvestites, bigenders, drag queens, drag kings, cross-dressers, masculine women, feminine men, intersexuals, passing men and women, and androgynes. With this definition of transgender in mind, transgender individuals throughout history have served as both religious figures and leaders in the entertainment industry, playing key roles

An interesting case I read up on after class was the disagreement about the transgender student at the largest high school district in Illinois against the federal authorities. The transgender student, born as a male, but identifying as a female is suing the high school district 211 in Palatine, the suburbs of Chicago because the student was denied the rights to shower in the female bathroom. The student identified as a female and is allowed to play on the girls sport team for several years, but now demands full access to the girls locker room.

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 be made. It is important that all members of society are treated fairly and equally, but they are being intemperate.

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.

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

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 reverse a gender identity that does not match a child’s assigned
