Being Transgender Argumentative Speech

Physical and sexual abuse, whether it is reported or not, is a problem that many prisoners face, however, transgender prisoners are key victims of this violence. Transgender inmates are 13 times more likely to be a victim of sexual assault/rape than non-transgender inmates (Brown 2014). Allen J. Beck (2014) reports an alarming result of 39.3 percent of sexual victimisation among transgender inmates in state & federal prisons, along with, 26.8 percent in local jails throughout America. For transgender women, most of them are incarcerated in male prisons based on their gender at birth. This raises significant risks of sexual assault/rape from the other male inmates as they present as a woman with feminie characteristics and demeanour. The Tasmanian Council for Sex and Gender Diverse People (Australian Human Rights Commission 2011) argued that trans people should not be forced into incarceration on the basis of their gender at birth or put into isolation for their protection.

A man is a man no matter how he dresses, so letting him into the women's bathroom is absurd. 2. Male perverts and pedophiles disguised as women (faux transgender people) will troll women's bathrooms and sexually assault our wives and daughters" (Lee). We could argue that one might be less critically bullied by using a transgender bathroom or be bullied more by using a bathroom with others of a different gender. For example girls bulling a transgender male using the same restroom as them. School age children already often feel they are up against the world suffering endless bullying. Gender identity only further complicates the chances of being bullied but to put male children with females in a bathroom or female children in a bathroom full of males only puts those children at greater risk of being bullied by their peers. And scarier, being bullied behind heavy wooden bathroom doors out of sight of teachers and school

Miller, author of “A Transgender Teen Used the Girls’ Locker room. Now Her Community is Up in Arms.” and supporter, quotes from the transgender student, “…Perry said she was tired of being “segregated” because of being transgender” (Miller). Being transgender, I am sure is hard from bullying and other hardships, but bathrooms and locker rooms should not be one of them. Being separate from who you identify with can be tough, in their case, with females. Separation between the gender identity and biological facilities is a type of segregation, almost like in the 60’s, just in this case it is the fight for gender equality. Miller further quotes from the teen, “‘I wasn’t hurting anyone […] “I am a girl. I am not going to be pushed away to another bathroom’” (Miller). Being shoved away from their identity’s facilities is wrong in many ways, one being that everyone pays taxes, which funds public schools, this transgender teen pays their taxes to go to school but gets treated differently than the rest. Schools shunning Trans teens for wanting to use their sexual identity’s facilities is completely unacceptable just because they are focusing on genitals instead of mentality. Miller concludes by stating “But how long

Because of their relative invisibility in public life, many people have a poor grasp on what being transgender really is. To be fair, this is a complicated issue, encompassing its own subsection of the LGBT+ community with its own unique groups. To put it simply, a transgender person is somebody who identifies as a gender other than the one written on their birth certificate. This often means identifying as the opposite sex, but some transgender people live in between the gender binary or outside it altogether. Typically, transgender people live express their identity in different ways: dressing as their preferred gender, going through hormone therapy to alter their bodies, undergoing sex reassignment surgery to change their genitals, or a

For the past year society's standards of homosexuals has changed dramatically, last summer gay marriage has been legalized in all 50 states in the us. Now sympathizers of transgender are trying to advocate for bathroom changes for transgender, these people are demanding equal rights to bathrooms that they associate with. I personally find this outrageous and immoral. The concept is very ludicrous, why are we allowing people to choose their gender? It’s ridiculous, I personally believe or would like to think that all children were raised as one gender, and that their parents educated them on the simple concept of where to use the restrooms. How delusional, what message will this send to the future generations if we allow atrocities like these to continue. According to the US amendment- the law of the land- our right is protected by freedom of speech, which one can interpret as being tolerable for others point of view, but this issue is contradicting to the pursuit of happiness, how other US citizens right are being violated. Why should the majority get condone for the actions of a few, must we

Granting some students the right to use the restroom they identify with and denying others is in violation of the Equal Protection Clause. The Equal Protection Clause ensures all citizens are protected by the laws, not just those whose biological gender matches their identified gender. Transgender students are denied the right to feel comfortable and included while others enjoy that right. There may be many more students that enjoy this right than are denied it, but under the 14 amendment, the government cannot “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws,” not even the minority. All students

Suppose that a man is sitting in a McDonalds and his 8-year-old daughter needs to use the restroom. Assuming that she can handle herself he lets her go, as she is walking to the restroom a 40 something year old potbellied man in a pink dress also starts walking towards the female restroom. Now if he gets up to stop this man he could be fined and in certain instances be arrested. Because of Title IX (9), if someone ‘identifies’ as a certain gender they can use the restroom that they identify as. This has risen major concerns around the country. The laws protecting Trans-rights and Title IX should be disbarred. This should be mostly because it is leading kids to believe that if they think differently, they should get some-sort of special treatment,

He said “The folks who are on the front line - the administrators, the bus driver, the teachers - they had a real issue on their hands. Transgenderism is a major and controversial issue for anyone, even adults. This is aninnocent, 6-year-old child. Most psychiatrists would agree that young children are not ready to make that type of

“straight” citizens do. Reasons why they may not have these equal rights is because of the government may be embarrassed to give these people their rights to be equal cause the government will lose the respect and strength of the other countries and theirs. Along with most the world’s population believes

On March 23, 2016, the controversy bathroom ban was signed into order by our former Governor Pat McCrory. The conflict first arose in Charlotte, the state’s financial center. In March the city council passed an ordinance that transgender people may use the bathroom, according to the gender with which they identify. It has cost the state millions in lawyer fees and in entertainment revenue loss. This paper will enlighten you on the following issues surrounding HB2 such as, what is HB2, major companies against HB2, the loss/cost of HB2, government transparency, the words behind the wall of HB2, and Governor Roy Cooper.

Cisgender and heteronormative privileges challenge those that do not fit into these categories, yet dare to be different which I will discuss throughout this paper. Since transgender people have begun to come out and talk about their gender identities, death rates have risen greatly. It is sad that we live in a society in which people have to live in fear for being different than others and expressing who they are. A difference should not get someone killed because we are not objects and should not be categorized as such. We do not all fit into the binary categories that have been opposed on us, why should those who standout be punished for what they have no control over. We are all humans, yet we are acting like savages over such a little

This past October an intersex U.S. Navy veteran, Dana Zzyym, gained national attention after they were denied a passport. Zzyym identifies as neither male nor female, so they were denied the right to a passport after refusing to select a gender box on the application. After the denial Zzyym filed a federal discrimination lawsuit on the grounds that it is a constitutional violation to force an intersex person to select a gender box. Their argument is that gender, or lack of thereof, has nothing to do with travel, so why should it restrict or force people to declare a gender marker they do not identify as. Zzyym’s case finally brings to light how significant two little boxes can truly be, especially for those who live their lives outside

Bathroom rights has just became a very popular topic in the press. Starting out transgenders using the restroom that they identify as wasn’t so much an issue. The more and more trans people became comfortable the more they get pushed back because of the opinions of others. The main problem is genitals. Most parents wouldn’t want their kids to walk into a restroom where there would be a transgender

Women and men have their own category of bathroom which is women 's bathroom or mens bathroom. Without a bathroom that separate from the transgender people then many women and men aren 't comfortable going to a public restroom at school and in public. People have this sense that they don 't know who’s coming through the bathroom door , it could be a guy for all they know. Having transgender going into a bathroom they believe they belong in is dangerous. For the fact that a women could be intoxicated in the bathroom but rather than a woman finding her there , it 's an intoxicated transgender going to the bathroom. Having separate bathroom can be a reassurance to people that they can be safe in public and can trust people coming into the bathroom.

In class, we learned about so many different types of gender groups, and one was transgender. Transgenders people are usually people who do not identify with their gender, and prefer the opposite sex. Most of the time people bash transgender people because they feel as if they are breaking the rules. People on the outside judge them because they chose to be
