Reflection Paper On LGBT

1502 Words7 Pages

My sex is male but my gender is part of the LGBT, I am bisexual. When you say boys, you should be manly, boys don’t wear pink, and they only wear jeans and shirts. So I felt as if I was confined. I was often being gender stereotyped for the way I dress. For example every time I wear skinny jeans I was being stereotyped, they look at me differently. They say things like, “why am I wearing clothes like this, I am a slut, why do I even exist, why am I the way I am.” When I act a bit feminine people would say that I should not be behaving like that because I am a man. I know that I am a male but I don’t want the things that I can do to be specified and be limited. I want to have freedom. It is fine by me to be called gay, because I am part of the LGBT and I am not ashamed of that. What …show more content…

Being a part of the LGBT does not lessen my value. We are not trash to be thrown away.
I am scared to socialize with others, especially with boys, because I was stereotyped by them so I have also stereotyped boys that all of them are the same.As much as possible stay away from boys because in my case most of the perpetrators are boys but I am not in all cases. I also experienced that people are disgusted to me when I go near them. They think differently about me, mostly they don’t see you as human being because you are different. Because I am part of the third sex they say different things. Even if they say that they are open to people like me, it is really strange that is why I am scared.
I made a self-dicovery, I felt like I am not connected with myself. I felt lost, empty, and worthless. I felt alone. I felt connected with myself the time that I was so down after a break up with a boyfriend. After my break up I thought that I don’t need to please people. They can gender stereotype me because it’s their opinion but I know myself more than them. I am not them and they are not me. Maybe I care but mostly, I don’t

    Though many people believe the born gay argument is a controversial topic, if more information was readily available, it would be a more positive and one-sided argument. People on both sides bring forth arguments backed with religion or fact and, of course, both believe they are correct. However, in this case, there is a conclusive scientific explanation. One side of the ‘born gay’ argument is the belief that people are not born gay. Most of this argument is religiously based.

    Superiority is demonstrated by non-LBGTQ people as perceiving themselves as more desirable, having more privileges, and receiving more societal rewards, due to the fact that they are part of the majority group. In contrast, they see people who identify as LGBTQ as less desirable, deserving of less privileges and less societal rewards. This example of perceived “normalcy” as superior clearly demonstrates how the rights and comfortability of the majority is superior to the rights and comfortability of an individual from the LGBTQ community. Oliver is extremely uncomfortable using the girls’ restroom when he is dressed as a boy, yet his concerns are dismissed and the school still forces him to use the girl’s restroom in order to preserve the comfortability of non-LGBTQ members.

    First Draft Why is it that more masculine homosexual women get the label of wanting to be the opposite sex? Majority of women that do not fit the category of the type of “lesbian” guys like are often bullied, called a man, accused of wanting to be a man or even are attacked by males. The “lesbian” that guys like are the more feminine women that guys see as pleasure or wanting to be a part of the group. In most cases i’ve personally experienced guys only want something to do with lesbians if they can join in and be a part of their relationship sexually. Most of these things happen because from how I see it, due to being threatened that they believe that lesbians are here to take their place.

    1) The rights of LGBTQ (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer) citizens are a must, and it 's our responsibility to be on the right side of history. Even though gay marriage is legalized, there is still a long way to go with LGBT rights and State and Federal Law. 2) Discriminating against anybody based on their lifestyle is a violation of human rights, and protection of human rights is the soul of a healthy democracy. 3) We should help build hope and start to create a world where everyone can live without the constant fear of being discriminated based on who they are and who they love. 4) Powerful lessons we have learned from past human right movements is that the battles we fought were painful and tough, but in the end they brought sweeping changes in American society by making it more caring and just.

  • Same Sex Relationships By Stephen Mays Summary

    830 Words  | 4 Pages

    In What about Gender Roles in Same-Sex Relationships?, Stephen Mays critiques various gender stereotypes, including ones affecting gay people and straight people, both men and women. In Mays opinion, gender roles do not determine sex (male or female), therefore I agree with the author’s point of view that what a partner in a same-sex relationship may decide to do in a relationship is not pre-determined by their biological sex. Mays stated, “[d]espite sexual orientation, some people simply demonstrate more masculine qualities or more feminine qualities” (719). In gender roles, a male or female in the past was based on societies’ definitions that they are supposed to practice something that defines or pertains to their role in the relationship.
