Obsolete Barriers.
In this modern day and age, there are people in our society whose sex doesn’t match their gender- people whose gender identity differs from their birth sex. Everyone in our society, of course, has to come with a label defined by exterior appearances (just so we can clearly segregate others), so these citizens are ostracised as transgenders. Unfortunately, some transgendered citizens aren’t treated with equal dignity and respect. Made to feel ashamed and demeaned, transgenders are constantly battling the odds to be accepted for who they truly are. In the cold, harsh nature of our society, transgenders are faced with prejudicial treatment. Some going through the transitional process (of changing sexual organs) are susceptible to losing their jobs, and after the transitional process, finding employment is next to impossible because of discrimination. Social, there are many barriers to overcome as being a transgender. Often persecuted, transgenders have difficulties in achieving legal recognition of their marriages, can be denied housing, and are at risk to losing their children.
It’s so unfortunate that our society is so cruel to those that don’t fit the typical moulds of what is “normal.” As a looming shadow overhead, the media plays a significant role in brainwashing whole populations; they perpetuate common conceptions of what is “right” and “wrong,” and force these assumptions into the susceptible and naive minds of thousands. Although I can’t relate to being a transgender, I don’t think it’s justifiable to ever judge or discriminate a person because of their exteriors. The words male and female are subjective, and should be completely obsolete. People should be open to exploring their sexuality and gender without restrictions from the narrow-mindedness of a society that conforms its citizens. Everyone deserves equal, non-prejudicial treatment. The bottom line is that regardless of gender, people should be free to be whoever they want to be-male, female, or neither. “You know, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender – people are people.”
It’s really sad to see people isolated just because they are themselves. Transgenders have to put up with so much crap and worry as it is, they dont have to put up with fears of being abused or isolated for who they really are..nobody does! Society nowadays is so narrow minded…people are people and everyone is unique. I’d rather be myself anyday over a mindless drone following a trend that goes against who I am!
Nice job

You have then think they have always been there. Now they are just more visible and now we have the medical advances to make there physical traits match their inherent genders.
