Rough Outline
Thesis Statement:
Therefore, transgenders shouldnt be given special rights because they are different than others
from their community. They shouldnt get to choose which bathroom or sports teams to join
because they decided to change their sex. They shouldnt be able say they are females even though
biologically they are males. By accepting who they really are will cause them and society less
difficulties.
