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.

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.

North Carolina was the first state to make the law of transgender being able to use public restrooms in public buildings and schools. This law should have been made because everyone is human no matter the skin tone, race, gender, appearance and furthermore. Not accepting a person for their appearance is discrimination because it does not make them any less of a person. Letting transgender use the restroom according to the gender they were born with show that there is no discrimination against a person appearance, that there is equality, and keeps from chaos.
This article is about a new policy that still hasn’t been passed, but it will make it so trans-genders in prisons and jails will be housed according to their gender identity (North).

“We need ethics to help us decide what to do in situations not covered by laws: for example, areas beyond the reach of law, such as personal relationships, but also in situations, such as biotechnology or the internet, that are so new that the legal system has yet to catch up” (Goldburg, 2009).
When one is born the first gift receive their biological sex. One’s biological sex is something that distinguishes them as a male or female. We are provided with it and as we take our life long journey we use it as a path that guides us. It has been prone to help and influence the decisions and actions humans take. Specifically, the places one may go and the public facilities they use. Whether one is male or female, they both learn that there are somethings that are specifically for certain sexes. The same could be said on if the government should allow transgenders to use whichever bathroom they would prefer and allow everyday people to feel discomfort or if they should look out for the vast majority of the people and take a stand on this issue. Transgenders should not be able to decide on which bathroom they would be interested in using.

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity” - Nelson Mandela. Intolerance is the unwillingness to accept someone or a group of people just because they’re different than you or what you believe in. Imagine if you were a part of the LGBT community and you weren 't allowed to marry your significant other in North Carolina just because you are the same sex, if you couldn 't go to a nightclub without being shot at, or if you weren 't allowed to use the restroom in public since you are transgender.
Understanding gender and sexuality as socially constructed categories is important because it helps people understand a certain group. Gender and sexuality is expressed in many categories and people must be careful not to mix people in the wrong category. Simply because one expresses their sexuality different from another person does not mean they should be bashed or treated differently.

Putting gender in a category helps others not stereotype them as something they are not. In class, we learned about different types of groups, and how they are viewed from the world perspective. The importance of the gender and sexuality being socially constructed does matter, and it let people choose their identity.
