Transgenders Should Be Allowed In Schools

I think that any school that receives funding from any source has an obligation to obey the conditions that were given. If the school does not accept the conditions provided the school does not have to accept the money. Although in this case it is more complicated because new conditions have suddenly come up and were not part of the agreement before. Previously there was no condition requiring the school to have a LGBTQ group, however the government now wants to make that a new rule. The school depends on the government for money so the school must either accept the new conditions or find a new funder.

Legal discrimination is alive and well in the United States. All over the country, groups of people are being forced into situations that are converse to the very nature of their being, subject to extreme violence and hatred. The very narrow minded view of how the country sees sex and gender, as exhibited by the media, is causing immense harm to many American citizens, as the idea of a binary gender system and long-standing sexist views has contributed to the segregation of bathrooms under the thin veil of protection. Bathroom facilities should no longer be segregated by gender to prevent transgender-based discrimination, therefore decreasing the prominence of depression associated with transgender people because a binary view of gender is flawed.

Throughout the years, the LGBT community has put forth tremendous effort to gain rights and recognition in the United States. Yet there have been numerous laws that have discriminated and made them feel unequal. LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered. Many people in the community have a hard time accepting who they truly are in terms of sexual orientation or gender identity. Coming out is challenging enough on its own, and laws and regulations that discriminate against those who only wish to live freely can make it hard for them to do so. Living in the time period we do, we have seen many changes in the right direction as far as having equal rights for all, but it has not always been this way. There have been many movements and actions the LGBT community has taken over the years to get to where we are today. There have also been many laws and regulations specifically targeted at same-sex and transgendered individuals, some of which that still apply today.

For example, a Hispanic male in his fifties might face gender and age discrimination when trying to find employment since the majority of employers try to hire young employees since these young employees are more likely to work for a certain company longer and have less health problems than older men. These oppressing factors affect our society and economic significantly as demonstrated by the North Carolina incident that occurred this past year. The main issue in the North Carolina case was sexual orientation discrimination when Charlotte passed a bill for the expansion of protection towards LGBT individuals. However, a couple months later, the state government overturned that bill creating the House Bill 2. The HB2 did not only affect those individuals who considered themselves to be transgender but also various groups of people. The bill has cost the state an estimated four hundred million dollars in flinancial

Everyday people have to walk around being criticized because of the type of person they are and they are talked down to, violated, abused and sometimes even killed. No one should ever have to walk around fearful to show affection to the person they are with because they are of the same gender. A person shouldn't have to be frightened to use the bathroom because they are transgender it was their option and change in life they shouldn't have to carry that burden on them. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and queers are people and they are human beings just like the rest of the people and they should have rights just the same as the people around them. LGBTQ rights and state laws have changed a numerous amount of times because of the

Coming out as a transgender, identifying with a gender expression that differs from the assigned sex, has proven to be quite difficult through the ages. While the acceptance of transgender people has grown significantly higher throughout the years, people’s stance on them are still quite divided, and the uphill battle for transgender rights has proven this. Just giving transgenders the right to simply go to the bathroom they identify with has shown to be controversial according to the TIME cover Battle of the Bathroom. The TIME magazine makes sure to note the problem defiantly “far more than public facilities” (Scherer par. 9). Transgender rights are a problem that Jamison Green, president for World Professional Association for Transgender Health, thoroughly addresses in a report written by Alan Greenblatt for CQ Researcher. Jamison Green’s specific purpose in that report is to justify why transgender people deserve basic human rights like everybody else, as shown in society, through his use of facts, qualifiers, figurative language, counterarguments, and appeals to logic and values.

All around the U.S. schools have to make a choice, that would affect the students and faculty. Should transgender students be allowed to go to the bathroom that fits their gender identity? For many schools, this is a hard decision. Transgender students should be allowed to choose the bathroom that fits their gender identity.

Although the Supreme Court brought marriage equality to all 50 states, there is still no fully-inclusive non-discrimination law to protect the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. The lack of such a law allows doctors to refuse medical care to a newborn because the parents are a same-sex couple, realtors to deny housing to a transgender person, employers to fire someone for just being LGBT, and many more examples. The absence of a law sparks outrage because nearly two thirds of the LGBT population has been personally discriminated against. Although there are several supporters of a non-discrimination law, there are many opponents trying to prevent the enactment of such a law because they believe it to be unconstitutional

In the case of transgender bathrooms in school I believe it’s not an issue of good or bad for the schools, but does it make the children uncomfortably. Throughout the entire video not one child came out and said that they did not have a problem nor did any transgender people raise concerns. Therefore it seems that the problem is not with the school but with society outside of the school. It’s clear this law is focus on preserving a more conservative view in schools. Many people who argue against this law state how fearful they are about rape, homosexuality, and Xenophobia. This personal fear should have no effect on the right someone has to use what restrooms he or she feels comfortable in.

Some people may say that transgender people should use the bathroom that is written on their birth certificate, but I believe that people should be allowed to enter the bathroom that they identify for. One evidence to support this is "The school, in denying her access, treated her access, had "treated" her differently from other students solely because of her status as a transgender girl. The court had determined that this is a form of discrimination" (Answers to some common questions about equal access to public restrooms). Consequently, people are treating transgender people differently, some people may think that people will walk into a different gender and would sexually harass them. Although conversely, most people would be honest about

The transgender youth are being assaulted and bullied. In 2015, in Texas a boy named Elijah, walked in the girls restroom and the girls yelled there is a boy in here(Human Rights Watch.) After this situation, Elijah stopped using the bathroom(Human Rights Watch.) Elijah is not the only transgender student to stop using the bathroom because of these assaults. Human Rights Watch said that this is bad for their health and education. They have been beat up multiple times in the bathroom(Humans Rights Watch.)

Passing Restroom policies to allow transgender children to use public school restrooms is not a bad idea. Although, I would suggest that lawmakers need reconsider, allowing them to choose the public bathroom based on their biological gender. Which could cause of confusion in an adolescent perspective; children would assume that boy can go walk in a girl‘s restroom and vice versa. However, it would better for transgender to choose the restroom based on their gender transition.

Understanding the types of students enrolled in a college or university is essential for the student body and educational institutions. The department that should take the initiative of this aspect of a school should involve professional staff to help in structuring better-rounded student affairs on campus. This strategy gives more opportunities for staff and students to enhance positive relationships between the members and/or groups, including transgender students, of the educational institution. Taking a closer look at these individuals is critical because the numbers are increasing as it becomes more open to the public. Colleges and universities should promote special training to staff and other school members and leaders before transgender becomes widespread. Educational institutions have embraced the

Discrimination is a natural thing humans do and is common in all of society. Discrimination is when a person or group of people are thought of or treated differently because of race,gender, color, religious beliefs, social class or sexual orientation. Discrimination can occur anywhere but commonly happens in the workplace. Most people need to work to support themselves or their families but, in the world today finding a good job can be hard, especially under these circumstances.Though there are federal laws in place that limit workplace discrimination it still happens.Many believe laws won’t change the problems America has with discrimination but others believe it would benefit the country.
