“I see the human body as your soul's apartment… So, if you want to renovate your house…where your spirit lives, it shouldn't make a difference.” -Carmen Carrera
As Americans, we believe in liberty, justice and freedom for all. But, what does that mean if we continually discriminate based on a persons sexual orientation? Tn the LGBT Community, Transgenders have a higher murder rate than Gays. Statistics say that every 29 hours a Transgender is murdered. According to www.transstudent.org, 80% of Transgender students felt unsafe at school. A 2007 survey showed that 49% of Transgenders reported physical abuse and 50% of Transgenders have been raped or assaulted by a romantic partner.
Transgenders are people, and as Americans deserve the right to liberty, justice and freedom of expression. Isn't it time their rights were protected? Don't all lives matter?
"I don’t mind being different. Different is special! I think what matters most is what a person is like inside. And inside, I am happy. I am having fun. I am proud! I -Jazz!"
