Reading the article “Cisgender Privilege…” made me understand my “privilege” in the fact that I don’t have to worry about going outside and being attacked for liking someone of the opposite gender. I can walk freely down the streets holding my partners hand without fear of any repercussions yet there are people out there who because they love differently, or live differently or express themselves differently who are attacked for doing exactly that. It is actually pretty disgusting that this world is full of people who feel superior to others because they are different. Reading the NYT article “Civil Rights Law Protects Gay and Transgender Workers, Supreme Court Rules” restored my faith (a little) and demonstrated that we have the ability to be human and civil to one another and that we recognize that the way things are is wrong. How a person dresses, identifies, loves, etc. has nothing to do with their work ethic, productivity, etc. and again cisgender people don’t face these hurdles so why should anyone of the LGBTQ community face them?
