The Effects of Transphobia

This is a short essay on transphobia being a major social problem in the community.

Be warned that this was for my ethics class in a Catholic school. The objective for the essay was to find a social problem, describe it, see how the Catholic Church handles it, or doesn't, and relate at least three Social Doctrines of the church to the social problem, not to mention to include my own opinion on it as well.

I am not Catholic, I'm not even religious, it was my parents who decided to put me in a Catholic school and I picked transphobia to write about. I am not transgender, though one of my best friends, Rolan, is and every day I am in awe of how strong-willed and determined he truly is. I can never imagine having the courage that you have, Rolan.
You inspired and motivated me to write this.
I hope I did you justice.
