    Also, not only is it harmful for a person’s physical health, it is also harmful for their mental health. The majority of people receiving gender transition procedures nowadays are young girls who are uncomfortable in their bodies due to things like societal expectations, difficulty adjusting to their changing bodies, and, most importantly, underlying mental health issues.

    All over the world, Transgender and others under the LGBTQ umbrella for gender identity encounter a large amount of controversy. I agree with this statement because of the inequality between transgendered individuals and cisgendered individuals. Bullying is a huge problem when it comes to Gender Identity; schools, workplaces and even public areas aren’t safe for queer people anymore due to the distaste that some people feel towards these individuals. In some states, schools and workplaces are banning bathrooms for these individuals and are forcing them to use the appropriate bathroom, or the bathroom of their birth gender. The military used to be a sanctuary for transgendered individuals because gender doesn’t necessarily matter in the military
