Different sides of Treatment.

we have all been dealt with different sides of treatment I know i  have. this kind of treatment doesn't feel good or is hard to take at times. the process of realizing this kind of special treatment is hard to deal with at times. people deal with it very different. everybody is different when it comes to these sides of sides of treatment. treating people different from others is a very cruel thing. letting somebody do something the other can do is a example of special treatment. letting somebody say something that the other can do is also a example of special treatment.

 inviting somebody somewhere when the other when wasn't invited is also a example of special treatment. Letting somebody use something that the other person can not use is a example of a special sign of treatments. excusing somebody for their actions and not excusing the other person is a special sign of treatments. Acting one way towards one person, and acting the completely different way is a example of special signs of treatment. 

saying nice words to somebody, and then changing your tone is brutal  is a sign of special treatment. we never realize the littlest things we can do can change special treatment. we never realize the affect it can have on the other person.it can ruin,friendships,relationships or even family relationships. We never look at it from their point of view or how a situations,words or, acting different can affect some, and not affect others .Sometimes it can ever ruin your future projects or plans. sometimes when you ask different towards people some people may not want anything to do with you. other way have  a new option on how they look, and think of you. 

 we also never realize it can take a loss on somebody being treated poor over, and over again. when its time to make things right with the person,situations or choices it wont be on your side, because of the way you have acted. we never look at it from that point of view, which is totally normal as human beings. we should learn, and identify these signs early on so we don't have those same issues

Transgender discrimination

For decades people have fought for black rights women’s rights and so on and so fourth, but have we ever really fought for transgender rights? Have you ever heard someone say “Trans lives matter”? No, well you wouldn’t be the only one. So today we’ll delve into why transgender people should have equal rights as cisgender people. Well for starters, what exactly does transgender mean? Well according to Merriam-Webster transgender is defined as: of, relating to, or being someone whose gender identity differs from the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth; especially: of, relating to or being someone whose gender identity is the opposite of the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth. So basically transgender is an umbrella term people who identify as a different sex than what they were assigned with at birth. Why is this important? We according to BullyingStatistics.org 77% of teenagers are bullied and according to m.huffpost.com 8 out of 10 transgender adults say they were bullied. Of that 8 out of 10 35% having experienced physical assaults at school, and those who were bullied reported a 51% suicide attempt rate. Another problem is no one is talking about transgender students’ needs. Another reason for the bully(ies) to continue the harassment. So how do we solve this issue? By implementing programs to help trans students’ and educate cis students’on the danger of bullying. You may ask yourself, why don’t parents do anything about it? Well, that is another issue we need to address. Many trans students suffer from their parents' transphobic comments. However, that is not the worst; some parents’ take it even farther. They use something called “Conversion therapy”. Conversion therapy is a practice that tries to change or convert someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. Such practices have been rejected by mainstream medical and mental health organizations for decades, but due it continuing discrimination and social bias against the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community, some practitioners continue to conduct conversion therapy. Why is it so bad you may ask, well studies conducted on the effects of this so-called “conversion therapy” say that conversion therapy can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide. In fact; New Jersey, California, Oregon, Illinois, New York, and Vermont have passed laws stating that a licensed medical professional is prohibited from offering a minor conversion therapy as treatment.Unfortunately, in most states, it is still completely legal to use conversion therapy as treatment despite all the negative effects it has on the patient. You then may ask yourself, why isn’t anyone doing anything to stop this? Well, the government is trying to stay out of local issues such as transgender discrimination. Even when former president Barak Obama actually did something about transgender discrimination; declaring that public schools who do not provide transgender access will lose the loss of federal funding. However, despite this claim, many conservatives called this “presidential blackmail”. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick spoke to the reporters saying his state “Will not yield to blackmail from the president of the United States. This goes against the values of so many people,” he added, “This has everything to do with keeping the federal government out of local issues.” Henceforth many transgendered students are subjected to immense discrimination that can even lead into adulthood. This is due to the fact sex reassignment surgery is so expensive. According to LiveScience.com the cost of female-to-male reassignment can cost up to $50,000 and male-to-female reassignment can be anywhere from $7,000 to $24,000. This can cause many issues but despite all the obstacles transgender people face with programs like IMPACT and Youth.gov we can push for a brighter future for trans people
