Good (whatever time it is) Ladies and Gentlemen of Congress, Thank you for your time to listen to what I have to say.
Today I stand in front of you all to talk about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I believe strongly that people of all races, genders, sexualities, social backgrounds, how much money you have, whatever, should not make you feel ashamed of what you are or feel like you have to conform to society because you are different.
I have a cousin who is transgender she was born a boy but after 9 years of hiding that she wanted to be girl she came out to her mom. She was just starting high school and of course had P.E. first semester. It wasn’t that she was dreading the physical education part, it was the fact that she identified herself as girl but the coach thought it was best for her to change in the boy’s locker room. You know the place where guys change, the place that girls aren’t supposed to be. So after coming home and telling my aunt that they put her in the boy’s locker room and the way they treated her while she was changing. She claimed that they teased her for using “girly perfume”, called her many vulgar names, took her clothes, etcetera, etc. So, my aunt called the school

That statement isn’t illogical whatsoever, it is contradicting. They claim that they don’t want a male that identifies himself as female in a girl’s locker room, yet they don’t want her in a boy’s locker room. So, they make them change in unisex bathrooms. They claim that it might make the females, uncomfortable for a “boy” to be in a room watching them getting undressed. They claim that it might be a lie for them to be pervasive and watch people get undressed but 9 times out of 10 it isn’t a lie. They ask “what’s so wrong about the bathroom?” there’s nothing wrong other than the fact that they feel ashamed that since they don’t conform to
In paragraph 10, Fraas proclaims, “In another study of transgender K-12 students, 31 percent reported verbal harassment by teachers or staff for their gender. Another 5 percent reported physical assault assault by teachers and 3 percent reported sexual assault…53 percent of those lost to anti-queer hate murders in 2012 were trans women. ” Though Fraas uses statistics for this quote, any parent would feel awe struck by how mistreated these students are in school. This quote is important, because it can be anyone’s child and for that reason Fraas is able to get other college’s attention by sending them a message that parents want their kids to go to a safe school. If colleges openly accept trans students, parents will want to send their children to that college over an un-accepting college where these percentages are more likely to come
Ladies and Gentlemen – hello! I would like to start by thanking Eric, on behalf of the bridesmaids, for his kind words. I am sure you will all agree that they look absolutely gorgeous and have carried out their duties magnificently. I’m not sure how much tequila it took, but the bride arrived one time and seemingly cured of all her wedding day nerves.
Well do they think non transgender people 's rights are not being restricted by having to share a bathroom with someone of the opposite sex? Because I can guarantee that they are in fact being violated as much as Transgenders. Most people who are transgender think they are being treated differently because they are not the picture of a perfect person or something like that. Well first of all nobody is perfect and being different from everyone else is not why people are trying to get public places to add restrooms; it 's to protect everyone 's basic rights as human beings. Most Transgenders are most likely just like us normal people, but certain circumstances call for certain measures and this is one of those cases. It is nothing against them personally, just having separate bathrooms is just a thing that needs to be set in place to protect everyone including
All-girls schools stand for equality and making your own way through an unforgiving society. In the article “Sisterhood Is Complicated”, Ruth Padawer goes in depth on the controversy of all-girls schools decision on transgendered students to attending. Padawer starts the article by introducing us to Wellesley College, an all-girls college in Boston. At this seemly nice and well-run college, is Timothy, an FtM (Female to Male) transgender student. When Timothy applied, he was well aware that he was not a girl, but his mom did not; therefore, he ended up at Wellesley. In one paragraph, Pawader examines Timothys feelings about his situation, “Though his gender identity differed from that of most of his classmates, he generally
Brothers and sisters, do you have any idea—do you have any notion or inkling whatsoever—of how much we love you? For 10 hours you watch, fixed on one face at this pulpit sequentially, but for those same 10 hours, we seated behind this pulpit watch, fixed on you. You thrill us to the center of our soul, whether that be the 21,000 here in the Conference Center, or multitudes in meetinghouses and chapels, or finally millions in homes around the globe, perhaps huddled around a family computer screen. Here you are, there you are, hour after hour, in your Sunday best, being your best. You sing and you pray. You listen and you believe. You are the miracle of this Church. And we love you.
Julie: I understand, for example among the difficulties faced by transgender students there is this inability to use bathrooms marked “men” or “women” for fear of a confrontation. Ms. Brauer heard about one distraught transgender freshman whose professor, while calling roll, first read the student's feminine legal name, then announced the students prefered name.
Hello how are you? I apologize for not keeping in touch, but I just wanted you to know I miss you and I wish you are well. I just turned 20 at the end of last year and I am close to ending my 2nd year in college, at UC Merced. Mostly with As and Bs. I wanted to thank you, for being so sincere and caring about me. You were right about everything, it feels like freshmen/sophomore years in high school in your class were so long ago, they were centuries ago..I am embarassed to even look back at my mistakes, but I can barely remember my high school self. Looking back I realized I should've been greatful with your concern and wisdom. If only I could tell younger self what I know now, and that there are so many more important things in the world.
The general public are still saying that being transgender is a mental illness and that they do not deserve protection from harassment. But scientists have proven that it is completely normal. Not only that but a anonymous student from Forest Hill High School stated that allowing transgender people to use the bathroom they identify with allows child molesters, rapists, and pedophiles to go into the bathroom with someone’s little girl and not get in trouble for it. Citizens of America have taken this so far that a women was mistaken as being transgender in a Walmart bathroom. She stated that she was allegedly harassed and told she should not be in the ladies bathroom and needed to leave then she was told she was disgusting. After the yelling the women says to have stormed out of the bathroom. The public seems to think that just because one trans person is entering a bathroom that all predators are entering with them.
Today is the wedding day my dad is the best man in his best friends wedding. I have to wake up early to wake him and I needed to get ready also. I am not in the wedding but I have to go because I have know the family for ten plus years.
Transgenders choose to change their sex, and choose to want to become a man or woman. Science has proven that every individual goes through puberty at some point in their life, so one must deliberately change their features, simply because they just want to. The idea that society needs to change their traditional ways, because someone is not comfortable is just horrendous. Supplying transgender individuals with a third bathroom, because they can not make up their mind of what gender they consider their selves as is unacceptable, and a nuisance to society. All children to need feel safe at school, and just because a boy may identify himself as a girl, act like a girl, talk like a girl, it does not change the fact he is not a girl, he is a boy. Habitual students are not comfortable with the idea of having the opposite sex being in their bathroom, yet on the contrary, transgender children should not be accommodated for either. There has been too many cases of children wanting to change to their sex, and ending up regretting their decision because they felt as if they were not themselves anymore. No child should be allowed to be put in the position where they can decide to change their sex because the end result will leave them with regret and confusion. Everyone is entitled to be there own person. Everyone is also entitled to have the same equal rights. Nevertheless, certain individuals should not have special rights or be acclimatized for simply for the idea they are
Being transgender refers to having a gender identity that differs from one’s assigned gender. Therefore, one can be male biologically, but behavior and feelings are of the female gender. In a move to ensure equality of all persons as stipulated in the constitution, there have been discussions mainly targeted at the issue of bathrooms in schools. Transphobia has affected how transgender people relate with other people, and the bathrooms can be used to prevent it at an early age. Also, some other advantages have been identified with unisex bathrooms for instance reduction of bullying and drug abuse in male bathrooms. Transphobia can be reduced by the introduction of unisex bathrooms in both secondary

I am extremely happy and honored to be able to give this short speech in my oldest brother’s wedding. Today, i am able to witness, be here, and to congratulate my brother ANTHONY and his beautiful wife, GISELLE on their marriage. I have always believed that there is someone out there for everyone and today, ANTHONY has found who he calls his soulmate, GISELLE. The first time I met GISELLE, I knew that I was going to accept her and get along very well with her because of her personality. I was sure and positive that GISELLE was the one for my brother just by seeing how happy he was around her.
High there! Princess, I’m extremely sorry if I missed judge you infallible and succinct character with regards to smoking, but on the serious note, I asked the question as result of curiosity because the relationship keep growing from strength to strength and I need to find out things that are of paramount importance to me. I’m grateful you don’t indulge yourself into any wayward or deviant behaviors. That’s why I call you my only and only princess. I so appreciate you and I can’t wait to cohabitate with you for the rest of my life.
I have had many bisexual and homosexual friends. I, at one time experimented with bisexuality but do not feel that homosexuality is for me. Marrying a female, I believe would leave me yearning for more. I have needs that a female cannot fulfill including sexual satisfaction. I do not think I have ever met any transgendered individuals. I never understood transgender. As I stated earlier I have never really been like typical girls. I like men’s shirts and jeans. I also like to do thing that guys do but I still consider myself a female. Therefore, it just does not make sense to me. I may understand it better if I were a male and acted and dressed like a female. I have seen many headlines recently in the news about transgendered children in schools. These headlines are mostly talking about transgendered children using a bathroom or locker room of the gender they identify with. It may sound bad but I do have an issue with this. Not only can that lead to many issues down the road like boys pretending to be transgendered to get in the girls locker room but it could end up putting the children at risk of seeing something they should not see or even worse some type of sexual misconduct. I feel they should be treated fairly; however, I do not agree with letting a person who is anatomically a male in a locker room or bathroom with my teenage daughter and vice versa. I think they should have a private bathroom or locker room or just use the rooms for their sex. My husband is not going to go in to my daughter’s bedroom with her and change into his exercise clothes. (people would be in an uproar if that happened) Why should one be allowed to do it in school? We could take it a step further and say lets make all bathrooms and locker rooms co-ed. This sounds ridiculous but it is the same thing and is unacceptable. We have separate locker and bathrooms for boys and girls, which is not considered discriminatory. Why not we add these rooms for
