Ends: Nov 19, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
From GLAAD, the Organizer: "Transgender Awareness Week is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy around the issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community."
_______________
Approximately 1.4 million people refer to themselves as transgender worldwide (0.00175%). However, this number increased exponentially in Western cultures (1900% in the United Kingdom alone by 2022), specifically within Generation Z (those born between 1997-2012) beginning in 2010, coinciding with the advent and increase in social media platform ease and reach.
WHAT IS TRANSGENDER?
A trans-woman is a biological-at-birth man who wants to or has gender transitioned into presenting as female.
A trans-man is a biological-at-birth woman who wants to or has gender transitioned into presenting as a man.
Transgender people mentally and/or physically alter their presentation to coordinate with their feelings and beliefs. This change is referred to in the community as "gender transitioning." "Gender-affirming care" is how the trans community describes the medical process of changing a person's visible sexuality. It requires deploying one or more of the following tools (in most cases for the rest of their life):
Operations
Social engagement
Pronouns
Hormone therapy.
These tools allow a person to change appearance, activity, and presentation from female to male or male to female. Transgender people typically dress to represent the sex they believe they should be.
BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRANS AND NON TRANS
Hormones, behaviors, and surgery can alter many physical, behavioral, and cognitive traits. However, surgery and hormones cannot change DNA, chromosomes, and the physical ability to become pregnant or impregnate a person of the opposite sex via copulation. A trans-woman will never get pregnant naturally, ovulate, menstruate, go through female menopause, experience ovarian or cervical cancer, endometriosis, or other diseases specific to female reproductive organs.
Concurrently, a trans man will never naturally impregnate a woman, create sperm or deal with prostate or testicular cancer.
NON-BINARY VS TRANS
Often confused with trans is non-binary. A non-binary person feels male on some days and female on others and presents differently depending upon the day. Non-binary people have not transitioned.
_______________
We've included three videos below that present both sides of this socially divisive issue. One from the point of view of the trans community. The second is the full 2:15:00 July 28, 2023 C-Span recording of the Congressional hearing on Gender-affirming care. The third is an interview between a British biologist Richard Dawkins and the author of "TRANS—When Ideology Meets Reality," Helen Joyce, Ph.D. It encapsulates why many are concerned and why Europe is dialing back authenticating transition among children without thorough psychological counseling, parental knowledge, and consent.
