to undergo a PARADIGM SHIFT toward anti-discrimination practices among those whom identify themselves as, TRANSGENDERED.

Formally addresses the issue of broader social implications, which members of the LGBTQ community experience on a global scale - instead of looking at mainstream topics like marriage equality. In the case of the United States, the combination of social, political, and economic issues portrayed in the media, and the structure of the United States Military government are the contributing factors as to why threatening issues such as, homelessness, lack of equal opportunities, lack of equal access to health care, and hate crimes committed against members of the LGBTQ community are not being examined with the proper resources. The U.S. government needs to undergo a paradigm shift towards beliefs and practices that no longer discriminate against people that identify as “transgendered."
