The LGBT population I think I should learn more about is the transgender population. I have very little knowledge on these people and would like to learn more about them because the things I've heard I don't believe are accurate. I assume that transgender people are confused about their sexuality and they are actually just gay. I've also have been told that transgender woman are not 'real' woman and transgender men are not 'real' men. I'm not quite sure where I got these ideas about transgender people from. If I had to guess, I would say it had to have been in middle school and high school from my peers, when I first learned there was a thing as a transgender person.I don't believe I will have many, if any, challenges in doing research on transgendered people. The only challenge I could see is being able to get accurate information, but I'm not sure if this will be a problem at all.
Hi Whitney,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post about transgender people. Transgender awareness has been increasing, and there have been a lot of newspaper articles, documentaries, and films about transpeople and the issues that affect them. Great topic for the Alternative Viewpoints paper! Please let me know if you have any questions during your research.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
