Over the past several years there has been an increasingly contentious debate about transgender people in our society. Anti-transgender rhetoric has grown progressively more extreme and hundreds of anti-transgender laws have been introduced in state legislatures around the U.S., with many being signed into law.
Supporters of these laws believe they are standing up for traditional values and preventing what they perceive to be dangerous cultural change. Defenders of transgender rights argue the opposite, seeing these anti-trans efforts as a threat not just to trans people, but to important cultural values and human rights.

Culture Wars, B. culture conflicts or C. Culture Shocks
