What Was The Aftermath Of The Provision? After Ab1266

The article starts off defining the term transgender, and different circumstances where others attempted to ‘normalize’ the homosexual and transgender movements. The article states that transgender people “are deeply troubled individuals who need professional help, not societal approval or affirmation.” (Traditional Values Coalition 1). The article continues, showing instances where the transgender movement won “major political victor[ies]” (Traditional Values Coalition 2), such as California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 which protected transgender children at public schools. The coalition states that the media is helping the transgender movement by portraying transgender people as “misunderstood and persecuted” (Traditional

Recently, the issue of allowing transgender people access to public facilities according to the gender they identify with has caused much debate throughout the United States. The bathroom bill seeks to control access to public facilities of transgender individuals, based on the gender they were assigned at birth. In 2015, bills were passed stating entering a bathroom not assigned to a person at birth was a crime. Surrounded by misconception, the bill does “not legalize harassment, stalking, violence, or sexual assault.” Since the bill arose, there have not been a rise in violence or other incidents in the states protecting the transgender rights (Transgender Equality). The bill simply states if one is living as a woman, to use the women’s restroom,

As I continue on with my essay, I want to elaborate more on to some the causes that effect the transgender community and their rights as people. Scott Skinner-Thompson

This Proposition has led to Proposition 62, Proposition 218, Proposition 37 and Santa Clara Measure A to name a few. Proposition 62 became effective on November 5, 1986 this said that majority vote was required for general taxes, a two-thirds vote was required for local special taxes, provisions that existing taxes passed after July 31, 1985 would be put before voters within two years, the elimination of property tax transfers and attempted to apply to

Not only did the authors believe that opponents are using these claims to support their arguments, they also believed that it placed stereotypes on men or an imagined male, to be threats and women to be weak and in need of protection. Schilt and Westbrook argued that opponents did not take into account that transgender individuals report facing an immense amount of discrimination and are in need of protection as well. They also argued that their opponent’s claims “generate fear and misunderstanding around transgender people along with the suggestion that transgender people are less deserving of protection than cisgender women and children (Bathroom Battlegrounds and Penis Panics, para. 6).” Although they mentioned that they were not suggesting that sexual assault is not a serious issue, they argued that public restrooms rarely have such assaults. In addition, they argued that based on empirical data, transgender people in the Unites States are much more likely to face violence rather than creating it. They also emphasized that their opponents were not able to site these claims of an actual case of bathroom sexual assault, rather that it was just from their deep-rooted cultural fears.

The first is religion. Not many religions favour the idea of transsexuality. There was a case of a 5 year old boy named Romeo being banned from his church playgroup for wearing a dress. A child growing up in a strict household with parents who hold strong religious beliefs against transsexuality, might tend to believe that this gender deviant behaviour is not tolerated and may grow up to have the same mindsets. Another institution would be schools which focus on gender neutrality. The teachers would not use gender pronouns when referring to the students but instead, they would refer to them by their names or even use gender-neutral pronouns. There might be washrooms which are not designated for girls and boys separately but instead, it would be gender neutral. Teachers will also not separate the toys and books into gender specific areas but instead, they would put it all together. Lastly, they would not encourage gender specific sports during their physical

Initiatives like any other issues have two sides to it; we must assess both sides to get a better scope of the issue. Contrary to the believe, propositions gave some benefits to the people of California as well as the legislature. In 1911 the California legislature passed the initiative process and was later approved through an election by Californians. By doing so Californians were given the right to directly vote on constitutional amendments and statues. In California, the legislature is prohibited from repealing or amending any statutory initiatives. The first initiative that had a beneficial effect on the legislature is Proposition 1A, which professionalized the California legislature by increasing their salary from $6,000 to $16,000 per

Gender is always in the news today, widely causing different problems in different states. For example, target has jut announced that they want transgender to use whatever bathroom they identify with on their birth certificates. This means that a transgender person, who thinks of himself as female, is still able to use the women’s bathroom. Many people are upset about these types of issues, and the Target issue, in particular.

It is my recommendation that the California House of Representatives revisit AB 568 for a second vote in order to pass this bill into law after Governor Jerry Brown’s recent veto.

had. Despite seemingly everyone's fears that allowing trans women into women's bathrooms would prove to be a risk to cis women, is there any truth to these claims? According to many experts: no. When detective Mike Crumrine of the Austin Police Department was asked if he’s seen cases of men crossdressing in order to harass women in the bathroom, he had this to say: “I have never heard of any cases in which a suspect entered a public restroom while being dressed as a woman, (or claiming to be transgender), and sexually assaulted a female victim, nor have I heard of a male and assaulting another male victim in this manner.” (Carlos Maza, Media Matters.) Numerous other experts, when asked by Media Matters, responded with similar

The North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory signs the House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, which undo all previous non-discrimination legislation, to ban transgendered individuals from using restrooms which matches their sexual identification. The law asserts that they should instead use the restrooms which matches the gender listed on their birth certificates. Enraged civil liberties groups around the country has decry the move as backwards and one which may put the well-being of transgenders at risk. Transgendered individuals have historically been a small vulnerable subset of the population, they have often been meted with violence and hostility. They are seen as a perversion and a dearth of moral values and evidence of societal degradation. But like any other vulnerable groups in society, they should be protected, not vilified as perverts and deviants.

It wasn’t until October 12, 2007, that governor Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill approved by state law makers that would legalize gay marriage. On May 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution protects a fundamental “right to marry” that would also extend to same sex marriage. The people were outraged saying that same sex marriages went against their religion on their views of a traditional marriage. People also argued that gay marriage went against the constitution as well because people could no longer have free exercise of religion. According to the Huffington Post, gay marriage, “Protects the free expression of religion, as supporters of Proposition 8 were worried that Gay Rights advocates were not affording them the same courtesy-to live and believe as they please-as the Gay and Lesbian community was/is demanding.” All these events eventually lead to picketing against gay marriage and the voice of the American people was starting to be heard on this

We see gender norms everyday whether we notice them or not, it is a sad thing that lives in society and affects our everyday lives. A gender norm is a social role encompassing a range of behaviors that are generally considered acceptable based on their sex. We are born to these gender norms, it is something we are taught since we are little by society and even our own parents. I remember when I was little and I found myself in the boy aisle one time and I remember being amazed seeing how much different things boys had. All we girls had were babies and dolls

There is continuing controversy about the differences between girls and boys, men and women, the biological make-up and also how men and women grow up in
