In the recent DSM-5, the manual mental health professions use to diagnose a disorder, 'Gender Identity Disorder' has been renamed 'Gender Dysphoria' in order to make an attempt in changing the current perspective people have on gender. This change resembles that of which homosexuality was dropped as a disorder from the DSM in the 70's. While this is a huge strive for the right direction in the transgender movement, some changes still need to be made. The diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria only focuses on binary gender identities and does not show acknowledgement of nonbinary identities that some transgender people label as. A diagnoses is crucial for legal purposes, so if a nonbinary individual cannot be diagnosed they may not be able to access hormones for their transition or the legal changes they wish to make.

Many nonbinary and genderqueer identities face a difficult time when attempting to transition. While transgender health care framework is available for dealing with such instances, many health professionals simply are not aware or educated on the subject to accommodate to the needs of nonbinary or genderqueer people. The lack of awareness on the subject thus can cause complications or obstacles for people as people can be denied access to these services if the health professional believes that the person is not transgender.

Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.

America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.
