Fighting Back- Transgender Liberation

    As with every other ism, being LBGTQ just so happens to be other reason why one would discriminate against you. My thought behind this is why does society have to be so concerned about who you want to be or how you dress and who you date?  First we all get the lovely pleasure of being in a dominant or subordinate group and if that is not enough how one dress and who one dates adds to that long list of how we all can be discriminated against. 
  I think being transgender, gay, lesbian, or  bisexual would not be such a stigma if media would not portray it as something so bad.  Being identified as one of these groups is just the same to me as being Mexican American, both are in the subordinate group. With that said they might as well go on to say that being Mexican American is just the same.:) My point is that Media always makes something seem that much worse or bring attention to a issue that other wise would not be a problem. And unfortunately for many, media is the only source that they obtain their information from. Because if anyone who was so against individuals being LBGTQ actually took the time to know someone who was, they would see that that person is in fact a human being and is no different. 

   I found that the Riot in Compton's Cafeteria in 1966 to be very inspiring! How a group of drag queens  came together and fought back! That was amazing, not the violence part,but that was the measure they needed to take in order to provide justice for themselves.

I do hope that overtime with every situation(sexism, racism, and heterosexism,etc) it gets better.
