Most transgender people seek to bring their bodies more into alignment with their gender identity. As for Beggs, he feeds testosterone shots throughout his whole body, giving him the slight advantage against the girls, but the right man power against the boys.Testosterone develops male characteristics, like hair growth and muscle mass. Beggs was trampled by questions as to whether taking testosterone gave the match a fair game at the match.

  • Argumentative Essay: Under The First Amendment

    883 Words  | 4 Pages

    Howard Zinn famously once said: “The First Amendment is whatever the cop on the beat says it is.” Zinn’s words may have best been exemplified in Ferguson, Missouri, in the aftermath of the Michael Brown shooting. The First Amendment states that no law shall be made “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble” (U.S. Constitution). Yet in Ferguson, protesters were confronted by police officers carrying military-grade equipment, and reporters were arrested while simply doing their job. Zinn appears to have been right; at least temporarily, the rights an American has under the First Amendment are whatever the cop on the beat says they are.
