We are all born with labels, no matter who you are or where you come from  hese labels change how other people define you. In Zach Wahls captivating speech he fights for his right to break these labels, though Zach was raised in a family with two mothers he shows that people cant be discrimanted for that,  the most important thing that can come from a family is the love and support you have for each other and this doesn't matter what your parents sexual orientation is. Zach's speech really touched me because I personally share friends and family members who's sexuality isn't accepted in all societies, I want these people that I love to have a the chance to raise a family and have their children only judged on the content of their personality. Zach is living proof that same sex parenting hasn't had a negative effect on who he is, he  has grown up into a successful and remarkable man which I believe any parent would be proud to call there son. The government shouldn't deny rights for families like Zach because in the end they aren't very different from our own.

  Security is an issue that we will always have to deal with, I believe that someones safety is the most important thing you can provide however their is a big line between being precocious and sharing to much information. In the article they talked about the "Titanic Phenomenon" Like how the titanic was thought of as the unsinkable ship so they didn't provide the extra safety. In this new way of safety surveillance by scanning, eyes, voices, finger prints it may be a proficient way to provide what they are looking for but if this critical and personal information gets in the hands of the wrong person it is a very serious matter.  GIven the past track record of the government for data security, it brings up a lot of unsure people on giving this critical information that could cause a unfixable and lasting effect if stolen or lost.This new security system if successful could create a much safer and   efficient government, I think they should use this new technology to help protect all of their citizens but they should ensure many new safety  advances to keep this critical information protected. 

Being transgender is the idea of establishing a different persona from the biological gender that you were born in.Transgender children know they are born in the wrong bodies, from a  young age the children realize that this is not just a phase, and experts begin to diagnose them withe (GID)Gender identity disorder. Many young people are ostracized by family and peers and grow up in bodies hating themselves resulting in a high rate of depression, violence, drugs abuse and sadly suicide.The future however is hopefully a brighter one, hundreds of families with transgender children are joining together and take a dramatically different side to the argument, these parents are  learning to let their kids live in the bodies they know they truly are. I also found it very interesting in the article when it started talking about how these children identify with mermaids,  because there is no genitalia, they have nothing below the waist. Transgender youth have used mermaids to be 


Reading this article made me even more interested in the topic of being transgender. I think that this is such a fascinating thing  both biologically and socially, I would love to learn more about the different procedure these children face and the appropriate age gender that they can have it at. Its personally hard for me to identify what it would truly feel like to be trapped in the wrong body but i can tell even by reading this short article that it would make everyday life a serious challenge. I am a strong supporter that you as a person get to decide who you are, who you love and and what gender you want to identilfu yourself as. I hope through reading more articles i can start to understand more what this topic is about and how i could narrow it down into a question.
