RE: History and Emergence of Social Problems And Its Sociological Imagination

in #sociology7 years ago

Unfortunately a great sadness for the transgender community is the misinformation the media is feeding them, perpetuated by those with agenda's and even the teachers of our children. There are many studies sighting a multitude of differences between genders that surgery or hormonal therapy will not ever make a difference. Those studies are being suppressed, and we as a society will have yet another nail in our coffin.
I do not agree that the majority rules in the US. It very much appears that a very few people with loud voices and often times little care for their fellow humans often get heard the most. I sight a recent city council meeting in my town that voted 7 to 4 to uphold the Paris climate treaty while the vast majority of the population weren't even aware they were voting on the subject. It seems that we Americans are extremely short sighted in what outcomes will actually be based on our latest trend only to sadly realize that much of the time it's not in the interest of humanity at large. Of course then the blame goes to the individual, not the social order. Something of course is quite mixed up.
To your question, my opinion is that the actual numbers of LGBTQ etc are much, much smaller than media would have us believe. While I strongly believe there is a great deal of confusion regarding these issues, there is hope for them and all of us not to remain in what many times leads to devastating consequences of their own actions. That said, will we become like the Islamic countries and start throwing people off roofs? I sincerely hope not!
