Transgender

            As I been taking this class, I have learned a lot about how white people have more benefits than any other race.  I have also learned how people of color have had their lives ruin by white people that think they deserve everything.  I also learned how the Latinos paint with all their hearts.  How they do everything with love.  But the saddest thing of all is how Whites, Mexican, Chinese, Asian, or any kind of race treats the transgender. They do not realize that they are also like one of us.  Because it does not matter where you are in the world you will always see someone mistreat a transgender. 

           

            As I was growing up my mother taught us about the bible how God wanted for man and woman become one.  We were in this world that only knew this part of the world and not the other part were men with men and woman with woman.  When I started high school I started seeing this, I went home and asked my mother about this action that I saw.  She was amazed, she herself did not believed it.  She told us that these people would not go to heaven.  But deep in my heart I did not believed it.  One of my friends was a lesbian and another a queer they both were really cool.  To me they were my best friends because I was able to be who I am.  I always made sure that I was with them because other students would try to do or say things to them to make them feel bad.  I was like the counselor of the high school everyone would come and ask me everything.  Everyone would know my reaction when it came to them.  I would always defend them because I am very religious I believe that God made us all equal, so he said do to other what you want them to do to you. I made sure everyone would know that saying. 

            After reading and seeing the story about Gwen. It made me very sad how the community has become against these special people.  I see them as special because they go through a lot in their lives.  First, they do not understand what is going on with them.  Then they are scared to tell anyone.  When they are ready to come out someone in their family makes them feel like they are sick in their minds.  Like when Gwen dresses up like a girl and everyone sees her like this is not normal and takes him to play ball.  Sometime they do not know what is wrong with them.  They suffer as they are growing up and once they are grown they suffer a lot more.  I tried to see another movie “Boys Don’t Cry” In this movie there is a girl than feel that she is a boy.  I was not able to see it but I say the clip because it said it was to graphic. On “Soldier’s Girl” it was a soldier that felt in love with a transgender, his partner knew about it and convince a new soldier to kill him.  I guess it do not matter who is a transgender or who is not.  Either way they both suffer.  In every story you see how hard they try to be normal or to be what they feel inside.  You see the suffering the pain they go through and people just don’t care they should just mind their own business and let other enjoy they lives.   

            Overall, I have notice that no matter how hard these transgenders try to belong in this world there is someone out there that will make them feel not part of this world.  I have always told by boys that no matter who they meet they will always respect everyone that come through their lives.  We are all human and we all make mistakes in our lives.  So, who are we to judge these people when we ourselves are not perfect.  We know some of these wonderful people they are better than the normal people.  They have been there for me and my family we can always count on them.  I thank God for them and hope that one day people will respect them for what they are.
