For this weeks discussion, I wanted to discuss a little bit about the article “It’s Time to End the Long History of Feminism Failing Transgender Women” by Tina Vasquez. I feel that many people truly don’t know or understand the negative behavior that is brought toward Transgender individuals. Based on the article, 46% of trans gender people feel uncomfortable seeking help from the police, 41% have attempted suicide, and 90% have experienced discrimination at work. It is truly sad how not only transgender, but also other members of the LGBTQ community are treated in our society. I wish for every transgender who faces any type of discrimination or any form of harassment to know that they can be who they want to be and at the end of the day, they are still human.

Hello Nadia,
I definitely think that the discrimination transgenders receive should be discussed about due to the fact they are part of our society and should not be ignored or oppressed because of peoples opinion on what they feel is right. Who makes these rules that states discriminating a gender or any human being in general should be allowed, no one because no one is truly perfect they just like to fake it probably because they’re not happy with their own life.
Hello Nadia, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is truly sad to see how in today’s society how transgender are treated when they are humans and that can identify themselves any way they want to.
