Transgender Rights and Representation in Sports
Introduction
While transgender people have always existed throughout the entire timeline of humanity, the
societal acceptance of deviating from assigned genders continues to be a contested debate.
Particularly in modern western cultures, gender and sex are largely synonymous. While cultures
throughout history have recognized transgender people, explaining the identity as a third gender
or a soul trapped in the wrong body, modern cultures fail to separate biological sex and societal
gender. There is interconnectivity among the two, as gender is a socially constructed application
of expectations given to different sexes, but a lack of acceptance

90% can decrease with the implementation of transgender education (Grant et al. 2008 ).
The lack of transgender education, along with gender education, may help employees to
better understand the importance of transgender inclusivity, as well as the socially
constructed view of gender overall. Organizations need to ensure they are creating a more
gender inclusive environment by making transgender education a part of company policy and
training. This education includes proper pronoun usage, transgender rights, the difference
between sex and gender, anti-harassment policies, etc. Without this education, cisgender
workers may feel superior to transgender individuals

has been in the spotlight lately. There has been much focus on transgender rights to use the bathroom of the gender they live as, not what they were born as. Many companies, cities, and states have passed ordinances that ban discrimination against transgendered citizens when using the bathroom that they identify as. Many, especially business owners and corporations feel these ordinances go against their rights when it comes to their beliefs in accepting transgendered individuals and their lifestyle or not. Those living as transgender feel denying them this ability denies them their pursuit of liberty, equality, and happiness. Even safety. At the core of this debate, the definition of gender

United States Armed Forces. In 2010 the Mathew Shepard & James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act expanded federal hate crime protection. It was expanded to cover assault based on sexual orientation, gender and gender identity. Barack Obama in 2010, ordered that hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid payments grant patients the right to pick whom can visit and confer with them. This enabled hospital visitation rights for same-sex couples. December of 2012 The American Psychiatric Association announced that being transgender is no longer categorized as a mental disorder.

C-389 died and was reintroduced in 2013 as Bill C-279, which passed in the House of Commons and was sent to the Senate for consideration. The Senate came back in 2015 with amendments to the bill, including exempting places like prisons, women's shelters, and public washrooms from the bill's provisions (Cavanagh). Also, after a prolonged debate in the House of Commons, the Civil Marriage Act (CMA) was drafted in 2003 for same-sex marriage. After several protests against the CMA

It states "At the federal level, we have yet to see national legislation to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation...as a result, Australian gay men and lesbians continue to experience violence, abuse, vilification and discrimination".If an individual feels that his or her rights have been violated by the state, in NSW they may seek the

Being in LBGTQ community
People in the U.S. have rights, like freedom of speech or the right to keep and bear arms. Many people do not know the history of gay pride in L.A. In 1950, activist Harry Hay founded the Mattachine Society to fight for gay rights. Being different in a society where everyone conforms to being “normal” is hard to grow up in because no one see’s you equally. Sexuality is not something you can just change love is love. Growing up a pansexual asian women is hard because people already look at you differently since you are a minority and to add on to it now that you are gay, people judge you non-stop. You may not

them to the surface again and again over time, especially through these trials. Not only does Obama’s
remarks highlight the racial fights within the nation and the pain that these trials bring up within the
communities.
The final trial that we looked at this week was the trial of Chelsea Manning. Compared to the
other trials that act as historical bookmarks, I found Chelsea Manning’s trial to be less of historical
significance as a bookmark, but instead a time that launched a conversation about other topics —

Gender Inequality
Root Causes
Throughout American history, women have been subjected to intense discrimination stemming from dependence on their husbands and lack of legal protection. For a long time, women were also thought to be intellectually inferior to their male counterparts. Over the years, the American society has made significant strides in recognizing and upholding women’s rights and sense of humanity. Prior to the 20th century, women in the US did not have the right to vote and were required to hand over their property to their husbands following marriage (Kabeer 191). At that time, women were

Even in today’s educational system, the female education is not as important as the male’s. If a female goes to school in a tank top or ripped jeans she will be sent home to change for causing a distraction to the male eye; yet the males don't get any repercussion for sexualising the woman because it’s still believed it is okay for men to see women as nothing but a sex object. While the men are able to go about their day with

what extent the event is still authentic to its original roots is explored in detail, however I believe it would have been useful for the author to further elaborate on the current political and social agendas in regard to gay rights, in order to add another viewpoint to the discussion. The article also cleverly juxtapositions the LGPD event with other common events such as Christmas, Halloween and New Year’s Eve and draws comparisons in respect of consumption between these. I feel that this added an interesting and thought-provoking element to the discussion, with the vast majority of readers being familiar with such events.

Abstract
The United States(U.S.) Constitution is said to be the supreme law of the U.S. and its purpose is to aid its citizens.

They were passed to grant citizens the protection of their natural rights, meaning they were born with them. This research paper will be addressing the eighth Amendment.

Navi Pillay, a high commissioner for Human Rights writes in her article Gays, lesbians must be treated as equal members of human family that "those who are lesbian, gay or bisexual, those who are transgender, transsexual or intersex, are full and equal members of the human family and are entitled to be treated as such." We have numerous rights that protect us from being discriminated against. Whether it be our religion, race, or cultural backgrounds. More laws should be put in place to help stop discrimination against homosexuals. Our

Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants
The short story Hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a man and woman who are sitting at a bar at a small train station somewhere in Spain. They seem to be having a heated conversation about a mysterious “operation”. The author never explicitly says what the issue is between the man and woman, but it can be assumed it is about a huge and personal decision they have to make because of the literary devices the author uses. Throughout the story the author hints at what the mysterious operation really is. Hemingway uses symbolism, setting, and imagery to convey

In Steely Library’s digital archives, one of the postcards from the Gilliam family collection is entitled Western Kentucky Asylum for the Insane, Hopkinsville, KY. The postcard dates back to 1915 and portrays a beautiful building, complete with red bricks and white columns. Many of the insane asylums around this time were built similarly, but even their picturesque exterior could not hide the horrors which occurred within. Insane asylums built in the early to mid 1900s were still getting on their feet, and many of them encountered problems with patient care early on

When I was a child, my late father and I would spend every moment of the summer season on
the sparkling white sand of the beach near our home. We would dance, kicking up the shiny
surface so that the droplets glimmered like diamonds in the sunlight. We would lie on our backs
and stare at the sky, until the swirling clouds began to take on our imaginative shapes mingled
together by our fantastical minds. We would grip imaginary weapons and fight, thrusting swords
like the most violent of fantasy pirates. These unforgettable days went on and on, a never ending
cycle of blue skies, imprinted forever in my mind. My earliest memories are filled with images

How much of a threat does the robotics revolution represent for human employment in New Zealand in the next 30 years?
In order to understand the threats that robotics may pose to human employment in the future, it is important to examine the ways in which robots and computerization are already influencing different employment industries today, and how they have changed our labor practices in the past. If this information is then compared with current trends and statistics in New Zealand’s employment market conclusions can be drawn about how robotics might influence New Zealand employment in the next thirty years.
Evolution in employment methods has been seen in the
