Usually transgender refers to a person whose gender identity is not aligned with their assigned birth sex and seek surgical producer. In this reading, Jonson considers transgender as an umbrella term for a person who challenges long-run gender constructs. The umbrella can be defined as a power for people who identify themself as transexual, cross-dresser, same-gender-loving, intersex, and more, so she comes in an agreement that she will use trans* to represent all the people who do not fall under the gender normality. Transgender is mostly viewed as different from the binary gender. So to disrupt the normality of gender, male and female, the concept of cisgender, and cissexual are sketched. Cisgender is when a person\u2019s assigned sex at birth corresponds with their gender identity(when the sex morphology aligns with their gender identity) and cissexual is when a person\u2019s gender identity matches their morphology.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can also talk about the privilege of having the same gender identity as the one assigned by birth relating it with the incident with CeCe Mcdonald. The whole incident started with the privileged group of people representing themself as normal and calling CeCe and her friends for being different from them. The phrase \u201cchicks with dicks\u201d, or even \u201c\u2018dressed as a women\u2019 to rape\u201d links with the normal definition of the construct. It shows how McDonald is kept in between what she was assigned by birth and what she wants which goes against the definition of cisgender. The whole fact that McDonald was a victim was never seen as a big deal, refusing to give medical treatment, her serving in men\u2019s prison shows the ignorance and suffering of trans*(people of color). And on the other hand excluding\u00a0 Schmitz\u2019s history of violence clearly shows cisprivilege.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can never deny the fact most people are usually at a disadvantage due to their race, class, gender identity. People are looked down upon not being \u201cnormal\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
