  • Body Ritual Among The Nacirema By Horace Miner Summary

    Everyone has the need to urinate and defecate; yet Americans find it appalling to speak of such a thing. We always close the door to the bathroom when we need to “do our business” and it is highly frowned upon to pass gas in front of others. It especially surprised Miner that when people became ill and had to go to the hospital, the privacy they once had was lost (Minor 1956). When a patient enters the hospital, they can no longer hide underneath their clothes and instead have to wear a hospital gown. Depending on the situation, a patient has to use a bedpan to urinate and move their bowels.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Transgentral Bathrooms

    1158 Words  | 5 Pages

    When discussing gender-neutral bathrooms, Laik references the copious amount of search results with the keywords “Transgender Teens, Bathrooms, Sexual Assault Risk, Higher Rates” in order to make the point to Jill that having bathrooms that they feel comfortable in is a necessity (Fischer). Jill analyzes the issue through the lens of her cisgender privilege, while Laik opens up another perspective by using the articles as evidence to prove to Jill that non-binary people are more unsafe in bathrooms. Another example of Fischer utilizing logos is when Laik explains how difficult it is to navigate life outside of what is typically accepted by society: “Like, if gender was a choice I would stick with the gender I was assigned at birth” (Fischer). Throughout their argument, Jill argues that “[t]he LGBTQ community needs to come up with better words than they/them. Find words that don’t already have meaning” (Fischer).

  • The Transgender Conflict: Political Cartoon Analysis

    76 Words  | 1 Pages

    This political cartoon illustrates a more satirical aspect of the transgender conflict. It illustrates a women using a urinal next to man. This can be interpreted by showing how reality would be if they pass the law which states that transgender people have to go to the bathroom which the sex on their birth certificate states. This would help my argument by implementing comedic aspects into my piece while still showing the seriousness of the topic.

  • Disparities In Canada

    Canadians take pride in their health care system; however, most Canadians are unaware of the disparities that exist for transgender persons within health care. Being ridiculed, denied care, or treated unjustly because of a self-identification as transgender goes against the core values of the nursing profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2009); despite this, ten percent of transgender participants in the Ontario Trans PULSE survey reported that they had experienced these demonstrations of prejudice when accessing emergency room services. This statistic may be lower than the reality due to transgender persons frequently avoiding the health care system (Bauer & Scheim, 2015). According to the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Code of Ethics (2009) nursing staff are expected to provide, “safe, compassionate, competent, and ethical care” (p. 3); however, due to lack of policies and lack of education nursing staff and physicians are detrimentally adding to the stressors of transgender life.
