...This research has determined a gap relating to equality and other issues that transgender currently face due to the inconsistence laws across the state, jurisdiction or workplace. Transgender individuals are not protected under Title VII (the law which makes sex discrimination illegal) as the term sex did not include being transgender (EEOC, 2016). The only transgender which may have some protection are those employed by federal government and there are currently 38 states that can denied employment to transgender individuals. As there are some states such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington,...

...representation in media and pop culture, visibility of the transgender (trans) community has been steadily increasing over the last decade (Roberts & Fantz, 2014). Until recently, transgender-related issues have often been loosely addressed under the umbrella of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues. Upon isolating investigation to the T (trans) portion of the population, research has shown that the transgender community faces stigma and discrimination at alarming rates across numerous areas of life (Cruz, 2014; Grant, Mottet, & Tanis, 2011). This population is met with systemic discrimination in women’s shelters that refuse to help male-to-female transsexuals (MTFs), attaining surgery because many states...

...inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Yet, it is still legal in 29 states to be fired for just being gay. In 33 of the 50 states of the United States of America, one can be fired for being transgendered. These states do not have legal protections for members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community (Solmonese, 2009). So does the “American Dream” only apply to “first class citizens”? This paper explores if the Employee Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) would protect employment decisions, which should be based upon a person's qualifications and job performance, not sexual orientation or gender identity (Solmonese, 2009). For over 50 years when there has been a case of an American being denied employment or promotions for reasons that were unrelated to their skills in the workplace, Congress responded by passing laws which were aimed at designing a system based solely on employee- merit and guaranteeing that subjective considerations do not govern access to employment (Herman, 2009). A specific act that has been brought to legislation, although has not passed, is the Employee Non Discrimination Act. ENDA is modeled after Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids employers from discriminating with regard to hiring, termination,...

... gay, bisexual, and transgender community is one of the most unique subcultures out there because it focuses on something that most people take for granted: their identity. For most in this community, questioning that identity starts at a young age. They will notice that something is different about them, and some know right away how they are different. For others, it can take years to find themselves. Even if someone does know from a young age who they are, they can be met by obstacles in the form of society, their culture, and even their parents. Though LGBT community has faced a lot of discrimination and prejudice, through the building LGBT community and positive media representation, the community has seen a lot of improvement....

...yourself in ways that mirror your sex and gender. This is not a problem, for most of us. We have no qualms with our gender identity. You may be a girl and do things that aren’t particularly girly, or a boy who enjoys things that are traditionally feminine, but otherwise you are content in the gender identity that you’ve known from birth. “When it comes to gender, we live in a binary society. Individuals are expected to be either male or female. But gender is not black and white. Many of us do not meet societal definitions of a male or female (Keppler).” So what if you grew up feeling conflicted with the idea of binary and aren’t comfortable with your gender identity? You were born a girl, and everyone around you expects you to act like a girl, but you feel as if you are a boy. It’s more serious than just wanting to be a tomboy, or rough housing with the guys. You feel as if you were born in the wrong body entirely. You were meant to be male. You struggle with this idea for a long time, and it’s very difficult. Eventually you find out that this is called being transgender. Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity doesn’t match their sex assigned at birth (Nat. Center for Trans, pg 1). You want to tell the people close to you, but are scared of how they will react and what they will say. There is no one like you that you can look up to for advice, in the media or in literature; probably not in your circle of friends either. You feel...

...Jessi Dye, a transgender woman who just wanted to be a positive influence in people’s lives, went into Summerford Nursing Home for her first day on the job to soon be fired by her boss when he found out she was a transgender woman (Shapiro). The discrimination this woman faced is just a start to a nation-wide problem transgender people face everyday. Transgender is denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity does not express what gender they really feel. What they feel is constantly being used against them in harsh ways by transphobic people. Transgender people in the United states experience discrimination in public facilities, healthcare, and employment. Transgender discrimination in public facilities causes a fight between people and political opinions. In...

...Bathrooms are a place where an individual uses everyday with little to no thought. As for people who don't identify by gender lies a whole world of complications. Transgender people get harassed and bullied everyday because they use the "wrong" bathroom but which bathroom is exactly the "right" one? In a recent poll, 59 percent of Americans believe that transgender individuals should use the bathroom that corresponds with the gender they were assigned at birth, while 26 percent are comfortable with self-determination when it comes to choosing which bathroom to use. Some people believe that if you are born a girl but identity as a man, you should still use the room based on your genitalia. Others believe if you identify as a man, you should use the men's room. Either way, someone in either bathroom is upset. Stereotypes from the past as well as what genitals people are born with are major contributors to the labeling of bathrooms. This presents a problem in today’s society where gender and sex is no longer the same thing. This is where the controversy lies. Until not too long ago, the racial separation of bathrooms was an important civil rights issue in the United States. Since there were unlikely to be four separate bathrooms, only white women and men could depend on having someplace to pee when traveling (Cooper and Ruth, 1999, Pages 12-13). People of other races had no where to use a restroom and were seen as wrong if they were to ever use a whites only bathroom. Twenty years...

...Transgressions of Transgender, A reading of I Am vidya: A Transgenders Journey by Living Smile Vidya Sajna Hameed Assistant Professor, Dept. of English St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth Introduction “There exists no prohibition that cannot be transgressed.” - Georges Bataille “Concern over a rule is sometimes at its most acute when that rule is being broken, for it is harder to limit a disturbance already begun.” - Georges Bataille Blurring the boundaries of race, gender, nationality, and sexuality has become a common denominator in defining personal identity in the twenty-first century. Exploding previous notions of these categories as fixed and static, artists today are taking an active role in exposing them as mere constructions. Nevertheless, transgressing these boundaries is still a delicate dance, and individuals who succeed in walking the line between identity categories occupy a precarious position. The purpose of this study is to explore the resistance strategies that trans-genders utilize when met with adversity and the ways that trans-genders see their trans identity as providing them with a form of strength and resiliency. Trans-genders are often analyzed from a pathologizing lens within the sociological and psychological literature. I wish to investigate the ways that trans-genders are currently pushing back against the oppressive forces that they encounter every day in hopes of increasing awareness of trans-genders resiliency and strength...

...that every person will experience at least once in the life. The oppression can be as simple as a joke, to as a serious as rape or death. This bias is hidden in stereotypes and in common practices, or it can be front page news. Gender discrimination is so ingrained into our society that it will always be commonplace in our everyday lives. The main reason for its continuing in our society is the history of ignorance and misinformation. Sexism is the discrimination or prejudice of a person based on whether that is a man, women, or transgender. Women have the hardest struggle against sexism. These prejudices can affect them in hundreds of ways from the workplace, home, and their safety while out and about. Nationally, women are subject to horrible mistreatment such as domestic violence and sexual assaults. Globally the amount of abuse to women is disgusting. War rapes, gendercide, genital mutilation, honor killings are not only being done to women, but are being accepted as a part of some cultures. The main issue most women face daily is inequality between men and women faced in the media, workplace, marriage, and many other important areas. It’s not only that women need to be accepted in everything they want to do, but also the...

...Susan, a transgender fifth grader, has been identifying as a female for nearly two years. The school agreed that Susan could use the communal girls’ restroom; however, a fifth grade boy began following Susan into the bathroom to exercise his right. I believe this boy, who is being directed by his father, has no reason to use the girls’ restroom other than to harass, embarrass, and draw attention to Susan. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to meet with the principal to discuss this issue in order to protect my students and provide a safe environment. I will be using the legal standards Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title IX as well as case law to argue that Susan has the right to use the girls’ restroom and unless students...

...Unit VIII Research Paper Cherie Quiles Waldorf College Introduction My topic is hate crime, more specifically, hate crimes within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community. It relates to social change because even though it is no longer considered taboo in our country, it is not widely accepted within certain groups or communities. Many people struggle to coexist within members of this community. A hate crime is a crime in which a crime is committed against another person due to the offender being biased against someone else. This is usually due to the person’s race, religion, creed or sexual preference. Although hate crimes in a new category of punishable crime, it has been around for a while in the United States. Many members of the LGBT community make up the majority of the crimes that are the most underreported. Laws against Hate Crimes Laws against hate crimes and discrimination were created because members within this community are being discriminated against daily and at alarming rates. Transgender people are fighting against discrimination at work, schools, housing and public places, to include the ability to use the appropriate restrooms. Contrary to what is seen on television, such as Orange is the New Black, within prison/jails populations, most transgendered people are not housed with the sex they identify with. In recent news, a transgendered woman, Vicky Thomas, was found hanging in her cell. Vicky had reported being harassed...

...Article #1 Edition (Date): September/October 2010 Article Name: Generational Communications: Why No One {Under 30} Answers Your Voicemail Author: Sam Ali In the typical workplace; the problems with effective communication lie in between the distinct generations of: the Veterans, the Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y. These groups of people working together often cause a communication barrier when their paths cross. These groups of individuals have different values, different ideas, different ways of getting things done and different ways of communicating in the workplace. This article relates to diversity in the workplace because of the generation gaps, different personalities, and the constant advances of technology within the workplace. The Baby Boomer generation did not have the means of technological communication (computers or cell phones) as the generations that preceded them did. The Generation X’s tend to accept diversity, they are more practical, and are said to be keen to the introduction of computer technology. Generation Y Gen Y members are much more racially and ethnically diverse and they are much more segmented as an audience aided by the rapid expansion in Cable TV channels, satellite radio, the Internet, cellular communication, etc. The new and improved workplaces are now need employees to be computer literate and have effective communication skills. We all don’t communicate the in the same fashion but there needs to be a happy medium to link the generations...
