GENDER INEQUALITY

Hi guys! By the way, I am Carl Harry M. Ybanes, at this time let me talk about gender inequality
and I hope you will listen to me at this time.

Have you experienced losing the law as a person? Or have you ever experienced being oppressed
by others because of your gender or personality? If you have experienced or even know how
someone feels like this, you also know how I feel. This time I want to share my advocacy with
you, my advocacy is for people who have experienced inequality in treatment because of their
gender in other words these are the people who belong to what we call the ‘‘LGBTQ+
Community’’.

As a part of the LGBTQ+ Community we experienced a variety of ridicule and inequality in

other aspects. People around the world face violence and inequality—and sometimes torture,
even execution—because of who they love, how they look, or who they are. Sexual orientation
and gender identity are integral aspects of our selves and should never lead to discrimination or
abuse. Human Rights Watch works for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender peoples' rights,
and with activists representing a multiplicity of identities and issues. We document and expose
abuses based on sexual orientation and gender identity worldwide, including torture, killing and
executions, arrests under unjust laws, unequal treatment, censorship, medical abuses,
discrimination in health and jobs and housing, domestic violence, abuses against children, and
denial of family rights and recognition.

As a bisexual person, I grew up knowing I was different. Hearing other kids call anyone who
deviated from traditional gender expectations a “fag.” Getting called a “lesbo” at age 11. I hadn’t
come out to anyone and didn’t even really understand what it meant, but I knew it was an insult.

At an early age, we learn that it’s at best different to be LGBT. And many of us are taught that
this difference is bad — shameful, deviant, disgusting. We might try to hide it. We might wish it
away. We learn that even if our family accepts us, there are some relatives who might not; we get
asked to hide who we are so as not to make them uncomfortable.

This teaches shame.

We hear about LGBT people who have been physically attacked or even killed for being who
they are.

This teaches fear.

While I know I grew up with privilege, and others have stories far worse than mine, I also
believe that countless other LGBT people could tell stories like this — not the same, but all
rooted in a legacy that made us feel ashamed of who we are. And yet I, like many of us, also
learned pride and hope and found a community that loves me and makes me feel welcome.
And now before I end this I want to tell all the listeners especially in LGBTQ+ community the saying of
Chris Colfer that '' There's nothing wrong with you. There's a lot wrong with world you live in ''.
