Before coming into this course, I was not completely sure about the meaning for someone who was transgender. I learned that someone who is transgender is someone that senses their personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex. Millions of people struggle with their personal identity and it is even tougher when they do not have anyone to talk to about what really is going on with them. I honestly was shocked when I first saw the video I could not believe someone that…

In the book, Just One of the Guys?, Kristen Schilt examines transgender men’s experiences in the workplace. Schilt recognizes that men and women are treated differently in work environments, but the reasons for this are highly debated.

Moreover, if he was White, people (journalists and people in the media in general) wouldn’t have thought twice about Cox’s recognition in Time Magazine. For example, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren or Giorgio Armani these individuals, if they so desire to be transgender, would be hailed for their bravery and courageousness battling social norms. His race and shift to femininity, these two factors are equally important because I presume that the reaction towards Cox would’ve been different if Cox was…

I chose this community is because my exposure to them has been very low, thus my education is limited and my perspective is narrow. I have seen a decent amount of shows that depict the lives of transgender people, such as “I am Cait” which chronicles Caitlyn Jenner’s (formally Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner) transition, and other shows on TLC, so most of my information comes from the media, which can be…
