Group Issue Representation Blog Post

A group that I would like to discuss are transgender people. Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another.This group of people are represented through many magazines, protests and short films. Contrasting there are way more people in which who are against the rights for transgender people. There is a case called such Fields v. Smith which has helped to make progress for the transgender rights movement. This case helped defined medical necessity of treatment as being the individuals choice. I feel that the representation through the media about trans people are fair if they are positive on the other hand I do not agree with the media that is against the whole process. I believe everyone should have the right to be the gender they feel they are inside. No harm is done to others while others are transitioning.

  I would retain the representation characteristics that are positive like movies that support them and articles. I would challenge the media that is against transgender people that create negative media products such as articles against transgender people.
