Argumentative Speech About Transgender

814 Words4 Pages

Our society has been consistently changing throughout the years. It is developing new laws, new customs, and different beliefs. Things that we believed could never happen, are happening now. Society and culture in America today, is very different than the America we knew back in the day. Something that has been changing within our society, is transgender. In this class, we had to watch a show about growing up trans. The change with this is that it is children who are deciding to change from male to female and vice versa. It was hard to watch this documentary because it is children who are 9 years old that are deciding to make a big change within their lives. It is a change that is not meant for anyone to make, let alone a 9-year-old. Getting to the point, God created us how He wanted us to be. Psalms 139 talks about how He knit us together in our mother’s womb. It goes on to stay that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. These kids do not know that they are loved by a wonderful God. …show more content…

That God created us how He wanted us to be created. I believe when a person believes they are transgender, they are confused and hurting. I do not know how a 9-year-old starts to believe that they are not the gender that they were born. I, somewhat, understand how parents do not want to lose their children so they go along with what they say. Some parents, in the video, talked about how they thought it was just a phase. So, some parents believed that they would grow out of it. While others just supported them in their decisions. And as a person pursuing a career in counseling, I do not entirely know how to handle something like this. But I know that as a Christian we should share the love of Jesus to them and not push what they are feeling aside. I believe they want to feel like they belong and accepted so they think that doing this drastic change will help. Little to they know that it is not what they are looking

    “I prayed for the Lord to give me clarity on what to choose and received what I believe was a word from the Lord to ask Coach King (at Cedarville University) if he could lower my tuition to $5,000 a year, then I would go there,” Watson said. Watson had a strong conviction that God wanted her to graduate with minimal debt and Coach King agreed to speak with financial aid. Through Coach King, financial aid and Watson’s obedience to God, she graduated with $7,000 in debt and paid it off in her first six months of marriage. As Watson entered her freshman year at Cedarville, one of the top NAIA schools in the nation, she was hopeful, until unexpected news came at the end of cross country season.

Resultingly, this ineffective tactic fails because of the absence of concrete evidence. Birghe, being transgender herself, says, “I wasn’t born a boy, and I’ve never been a boy, and it’s like a knife to my heart every single time I hear that phrase.

    Kirksey said her religious beliefs made her approval of the change impossible, and she felt that she had a duty to protect the girl from possible bullying and help dozens of other children and their parents, who she said deserved to be told about the change. She said those beliefs cost her a job. One day, she wanted to be a girl, the next day she wanted to be a boy,” Kirksey told FOX26. “The other kids are confused as well, calling her a boy and she would start screaming, ‘I’m not a boy!’” “I don’t think we should be talking to other people’s children who are under the age of 18 about being transgender,” she said.

    They are highly skeptical of religion. Yet they are still thirsty for transcendence. But when we portray God as a cosmic buddy, we lose them (they have enough friends). When we tell them that God will give them a better marriage and family, it’s white noise (they’re delaying marriage and kids or forgoing them altogether). When we tell them they’re special, we’re merely echoing what educators, coaches, and parents have told them their whole lives.

    Transgender people challenge the binary and refuse to conform to the norms. Kimberly Tauches writes in her essay “Transgendering” that “transgender is an umbrella term that is used to describe a diverse group of people who intentionally ‘mismatch’ their sex and their gender identity or behavior” (Tauches 173). This calls into account the previous argument on what difference should it make to feminism whether gender differences are natural or socially constructed. Everything in our culture has been gendered, from clothing, films, furniture, and even cars, this is due to the binary categories. “A person is seen as fitting into one and only one gender, masculine or feminine, but never both masculine and feminine.

    Devin said that she does believe that it has changed significantly since the 1980’s, and late 1970’s when she knew she was transgender. She comments how the depiction transgender characters on media back then depicted them as freaks, mentally sick and says the movie, Silence of the Lambs, stands out as what society perceived them to be. But Ms. Devin does believe media depiction has improved and can be used as a social pyrometer of where America is at, but is still facing pushback from local and state-level governments who try to implement bills like, or worse than House Bill 2. However, there are still many victories to be seen, including the recent actions implemented in the U.S. Army to include and give more rights to transgender individuals serving. Ms. Devin brought up the avid witch-hunts that would actively search for members of the LGBT+ community and kick them out of the Army before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell rule.
