View TransGeneration on YouTube (links are in Course Documents on Blackboard) or you can watch the DVD that is on reserve at Paley Media Library. The more you watch, the greater insight you will have, but watch at least 8 episodes. You may well want to watch the entire documentary! Based on your viewing of TransGeneration, identify and describe two different life challenges that are unique to someone who identifies as a transgender person. In your writing, explore the possible social, psychological or professional impacts that these challenges might have. For example, in the film Casey states that he will be challenged by having a diploma from an all-women's college. Why is this a challenge, and what might be some potential outcomes of this challenge? Write one page per challenge (12 pt. ft., Times New Roman, double space). Remember to include your name!!
Written assignments for this class are to be written in APA style. Please follow these guidelines: 1. Double space 2. 12 pt. Times New Roman font. 3. Headers 4. Page numbers 5. Cover Page with the Title, name and date
6. Print double-sided to save paper (when possible)

Please make sure to incorporate GLAAD.orgs style guide below into your writing (and thinking!) and be mindful to use proper terms and pronouns.

transgender people as "deceptive," as "fooling" other people, or as "pretending" to be, "posing" or "masquerading" as a man or a woman. Such descriptions are extremely insulting. Defamatory: "she-male," "he-she," "it," "trannie," "tranny," "gender-bender" These words only serve to dehumanize transgender people and should not be used (See Defamatory Language).
