A transgender individual encounters discrimination, as to many it is a confusing behavior that is perpetrated by society, and the media. There are concerns of ethics, as well as concerns about society and how they are affected by the changes being implemented to accommodate those that are transgender. There is uproar within the walls of society when a transgender people express themselves and are hailed a hero. The transgender person often times suffers from more than just the discrimination against their identity; it is said that often times various psychological influences are in play, and they need to be dealt with in some cases to rid one of such feelings.
