Leelah Alcorn was a transgender girl who was highly unaccepted by her parents, which actually led to her suicide. Ever since she was four years old she felt as if something about her wasn’t right. She was born as a boy so she tried to stick to the social norm and do stereotypical stuff that boys did. At about fourteen years of age she found out about what being transgender was, she was so ecstatic that she told her mom, who reacted extremely negatively. She felt as if after ten years she could finally be who she was born to be. Her mom kept on denying her saying stuff about God not making mistakes and that it's just a phase.

In her article A Boy’s Life, Hanna Rosin gives us a glimpse at what some of these transgender children go through. As she follows the life of Brandon (later called Bridget), she unveils a range of hurdles that kids like him and his parents must overcome. Problems like social rejection, gender identification, and the anxiety that all of this creates becomes the usual for a family like Brandon’s. But even so, all of this is minimal in comparison to the huge decision that the parents must make in behalf of the child. In the article, Rosin reveals to us that scientists have come up with a way to prevent a kid’s development into

accessing care (NHRA, 2014). To this end, taking into consideration rural locales, and their unique (or lack of) public health offerings and a prevalence of mental health disorders (due to locale and military service), I would recommend, like Rishel & Hartnett (2015) that there be an additional 6,000 mental health practitioners so as to help meet the urgent needs of rural veterans.

The death penalty is government sanctioned punishment by death. Crimes subject to capital punishment are capital crimes. Thirty-six countries actively practice the death penalty, including the United States. However, 103 countries have abolished capital punishment and instead jail serious criminals for life. Capital punishment is the only fitting punishment for people who have done the ultimate wrong, it saves space at federal prisons, and it gives closure to families of victims, or victims of these crimes.

On September 18th, 2017, the state of California enrolled the female, male and nonbinary gender recognition identity bill. This sparks the Gender Recognition Act, allowing members of the California state who have undergone clinically appropriate treatment for the purpose of gender transition, rights to their appropriate gender. The trans community members of the california state are now legally allowed to change to the accurate gender role on their driver's licenses and birth certificate thus allowing more freedom and independence by obtaining state issued identity documents that accurately reflect their gender. We use are gender identity everyday of our lives, when we apply for a job, use our credit cards, for someone who will use their I.D

An interesting case I read up on after class was the disagreement about the transgender student at the largest high school district in Illinois against the federal authorities. The transgender student, born as a male, but identifying as a female is suing the high school district 211 in Palatine, the suburbs of Chicago because the student was denied the rights to shower in the female bathroom. The student identified as a female and is allowed to play on the girls sport team for several years, but now demands full access to the girls locker room.

My current role as an employee is working towards becoming a supervisor. Unfortunately the company I am currently working for is different than the last and I believe the industry that I am in now is just a phase to save up money and understand what I truly want to make out of my life and have as a career. Ultimately the goal is to be my own boss someday having control over a self-operated business. As for now I am currently working for a landscaping company and due to lacking skills in proficiently driving and backing up a trailer I believe I will lose the spot of the supervisor although I have more knowledge overall and a higher expertise and experience. I enjoy my job, it is very hard work and it is rewarding, the pay may not be as high as I like it but I am not complaining. I would rather have a job with less

Regarding access to healthcare, transgender individuals often face the most obstructive barriers when attempting to receive care. Whether they are seeking access to hormones, therapy, general health services, reproductive healthcare, or specialty healthcare, transgender patients typically cannot get what they need without jumping through many hoops or hiding their identities. This occurs especially so in cases of intersecting identities -- where an individual is not just transgender, but is transgender and a person of color, disabled, gay, indigenous, undocumented, poor, etc. These intersecting identities interact in multifaceted ways to produce even more barriers for trans individuals seeking healthcare due to healthcare provider bias, insurance requirements, and doctors’ general unwillingness to help coupled with inaccessibility founded on racism, transphobia, homophobia, mental illness stigmatization, etc.

I read “Childhood abuse and depressive vulnerability in clients with gender dysphoria” by Malcolm T. Firth a therapist who works at Manchester University in the United Kingdom. This study was conducted to start a discussion about the issues that individuals with gender dysphoria experience from early childhood to adulthood. Firth wanted to provide more insight to offer better psychological help to gender dysphoric clients by working through childhood hardships. He used two case studies, one for a male to female named Mel and the other for a female to male named Paul. Firth’s study was also aided by 9 articles that highlighted the struggles of individuals treated at a GD clinic. By the end of the study, no link between depressive vulnerability and child abuse was found. However there was a much higher percentage of abuse in adults who said they had experienced gender dysphoria as a child or teenager.

Some of the barriers/biases for minorities in science is that many feels that they’re not welcome with an open arms or treated equally as nonminority science peers. Less resources are available for minorities students compared to nonminority students. Many minorities are overlook because many science field believe that minorities has no potential to achieve in the science world. In the articles “A Graduate Program Works To Diversify The Science World” the author stated “but lacks the kind of research experience to really transition into a good graduate program." Underrepresented minority students sometimes lack access to or knowledge of these kinds of experiences.” Which shoes that Many research school sees minorities’ students as students

My main inspiration on making this sculpture is based on what’s happening in today's world. There are many boys and girls that want to be the real them without having to hide it or being judge at everyday of their lives. Just for being what they want to be in there life. Being transgender has a lot to deal with the United State history. Transgenders were a big issues back in 1620. Many transgenders were killed or punished by being slaves (Genny Beemyn).They did not had the freedom to be whatever they wanted to be. My view in the next 250 years is that every human being will be loved and cared no matter of who there are they will be accepted . As well have the freedom and right to be themselves. This is important to me because we all are different
