Gender Equality Issues

The article I read is about gender inequality against the non-binary and transgender community. In America, the EEOC includes only male and female as gender options. This means that the EEOC cannot identify who is transgender and are not acknowledged and counted.

This affects anyone part of the non-binary community as they don’t fit into the male and female categories. It can be harmful to their mental health because, for some people, it could cause dysmorphia.

I choose this article because I feel that the LGBTQ community has been getting hate for a very long time and not a lot of people are educated on the topic. I don’t think it’s fair that we grew up being told “we can be anything we want to be” or “you can do anything” and when someone comes out as trans or non-binary, they get hate. They get told that they are doing it for attention when most of the time, they just don’t feel comfortable being called other pronouns or their feminine or masculine name.
