Transgender Problems in Healthcare
While not all cultures view agender incongruence as abnormal, it is generally considered atypical in Western cultures, particularly in America. Third gender is widely accepted around the world, yet America has been slow in providing tolerance, much less acceptance towards those that fall outside male/female classifications, or those that wish to change from one sex to another.

More Than an Animal
I came out as being bisexual the summer before my senior year of high school. My family and friends accepted it without any resistance, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. They didn’t treat me any differently, and most told me they already knew. My aunt thought it was a phase, but accepted it was part of who I am; even my 13-year-old sister didn’t think anything of it. Despite a strong support group, eventually a realization emerged: because I am bisexual, people are prone to stereotyping me as promiscuous and unable to maintain fidelity in a relationship.
