Part 1: My Social Issue My social issue is about cissexism in Brevard County. Cissexism is a system, as shown by a pattern of laws, events, and circumstances, in the past and current, that negatively impacts transgender groups, denying them opportunities afforded to cisgender groups. Cissexism includes microaggressions (subtle instances of discrimination) such as gendering fetuses, and blatant hate, such as street harassing transgender wimmin (feminist spelling of women). According to Gina Duncan, a transgender womyn (feminist spelling of woman) and the director of Equality Florida’s transinclusion committee, in Brevard County, transgender beings can legally be denied housing, fired from jobs, be refused services at private businesses, and harassed in public restrooms for their gender identity (Moody, 2016). No county-wide policy addresses anti-transgender violence, and no city councils in Brevard County have included gender identity in their nondiscrimination ordinances. However, according to Equality Florida, a queer (gay and transgender) advocacy group, 42 cities and counties in Florida protect gender identity (Neale, 2016). End of Part 1.
