There are some people who identify
as male and females. While other’s themselves don’t identify as male or female.
There are other terms that some people use. How would you feel about them
teaching children more about the different identity’s people go by? That they
can learn more information about the topic and possibly be a little less
bullying and victimized in the schools. Would it really be a bad thing if
children knew more about these kinds of topics? How much do people really know
about other people’s lives?
How do different
people define themselves? The different types of ways those are classified as
homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, or asexual. People also are attracted to
others in different ways as well. People who are attracted to the other sex are
known as heterosexuals.
People who are attracted to the
same sex are known as homosexuals. People who are attracted to both men and
woman are called bisexuals. People who show no sexual attractions at all are
known as asexual individuals. Many genders tend to question their sexual
orientation and their privileges and protections they enjoy because of it.
Some of the Gender
Variant groups are Male-to-female transsexuals(MTF), Female-to-male
transsexuals(FTM), Transgenderizes(those who live in the gender role associated
with another sex without sex reassignment surgery), Bigender persons(those who
identify as both man and woman), Drag queen and kings(typically gay men and
lesbian women, respectively, who dress in men’s and woman’s clothing), and
Intersexed persons(those born with ambiguous genitalia). Transexual is a person
who changed their appearance to better suite who they want to be and appear as.
Transgender is a person who changed their appearance to better suite who they
want to be and appear as.
In school a lot of
transgenders feel unsafe in different spaces like the bathrooms, locker rooms
and in PE class. Transgender youth deal with a lot of harassment from peers in
school. Transgender youth are more likely to experience a hostile school
experience like harassment and victimization from feeling unsafe from their non-transgender
peers. If teachers become more aware of transgender youth, the youth would feel
more safer and have lower rates of victimization.
Many people lack
the education of school-based sexual education. Many health issues can emerge
due to sexual behavior like unplanned pregnancy, STD’s, STI’s, and sexual
violence or trauma. Some experience this before the age of 24. Every state has
a different sex education policy and most receive the education before they
reach the age of eighteen. Many states try and teach the students in the
classroom about abstinence or abstinences until-marriage. Some states indicated
that each sex education class should be taught based on gender and transgender
students. There are some states that ban sexual acts between people of the same
gender and heterosexual couples.
Before the 1970’s
every society had LGBT people existing, but the gay community did not exist
yet. Some hostile climates in school are target more towards the LBGTQ youth
more than their heterosexual peers. There are some school sponsored programs
that support LBGTQ students improving school climates. The LBGT community
struggle with many different things and have lost a lot for the most part, but
adoption is one of the main issues and many people do not know that. Higher
rates of pregnancy come from those of females who identify as lesbian, gay,
bisexual(LGB) or same-sex contact than those who are in heterosexual
relationships.
Parents also play
a big role in a child’s learning to sexual orientation. When parents are more
involved in their child’s sexuality there are lower levels of suicide and a
greater chance of feeling like they belong in school. Also, can bring out
better academic outcomes. The more involved that parents are in their child’s
lives when it comes to their personal lives, gives their child a better outlook
on things and can make them feel more confident and comfortable about who they
really are.
There are a bunch
of countries that have created discrimination laws to protect the gays,
lesbians, and bisexuals. Some of the places that have them laws are Canada,
Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, The Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, and Sweden. There are civil
rights laws in nine of the US that include sexual orientation. An individual’s
feelings of not identifying with his or her assigned gender is called gender
confusion. Can also be called gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder.
Transgender or transexuals rarely discuss confusion. People get confused due to
the lack of knowledge of the subject. Trans people who feel as though they have
a condition that has always existed and are trapped in the wrong body.
