What Can We Do To Help Transgender Youth

There are actually a lot of things that we can do to help out the transgender youth.

  • We can step for awareness
  • we can create support groups at school for the LGBTQ community
  • Encourage respect in the student population toward the LGBTQ community
  • Have "safe spaces", such as a counselor's office, available for LGBTQ students to find refuge if they feel threatened
  • Bring in psychologists who are familiar with LGBTQ issues to speak to victims and bullies alike
  • When it comes to the bathroom we could have the students who are transgender, if comfortable, talk to the office and their teachers about using a staff or one stall bathroom so that there won't be any problems between anyone
  • When a student or the student's parent or guardian, as appropriate, notifies the school administration that the student will assert a gender identity that differs from previous representations or records
  • Some schools that have implemented transgender policies have made a single-stall or staff restroom available for students who are uncomfortable sharing facilities with their transgender peers
  • If you or someone close to you has experienced bullying or discrimination, you can start by talking about it with your school and district officials
  • You can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education

People sometimes confuse being transgender and being intersex.

People whose bodies fall in the vast continuum between "male" and "female" are often known as  intersex  people. There are many different types of intersex conditions. For example, some people a

Special Interview from Corey

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B37y9-21zSWpb0NVZENvWl9ibF9NSjlrVVRXWFFnQ1dLRXlV I had gotten the chance to interview the very famous Corey Maison for my project. Corey was very happy to be interviewed and was grateful that I had chosen her to be my interviewee for my project. The first video is a video of our interview, since there was no sound one of my teachers helped me out and we borrowed someone else's phone so that we could voice record our interview too. I hope that one day I will get to meet Corey in person and I can tell her all about my experience of being  transgender too.
