Minh analysis

This research article was about transgender people, specifically people who feel their sex and gender are opposed. The authors introduction is good, and it provides good background information to provide context on what a transgender person is and the issue behind them (that they face extreme discrimination and internal strife). The introduction does not really have any interesting fact or story that draws in the reader’s attention, but I think that the title does a good job of that. So maybe if you add something into the introduction it would be even better. The paper is organized very well, and I like how every paragraph is clearly distinguishable for another one. The transitions between paragraphs are also pretty solid. I like how in the paper you do a very good job putting a human touch on what you are saying. You make it easier to understand the point of view of the transgender without using an actual quote or personal experience. The paper is also effective in that it does have prickles, such as the number of LGBT Americans. I would say that there could be more prickles but the nature of the paper isn’t based off facts and numbers. I like how the different topics have a specific case that elaborates on the topic. It helps the readers understand the issue at hand while also putting a human touch on it. The audience of this piece is also very wide. As pointed out in the paper, this is an issue that all of America faces so anyone can read this article and learn how to be more accepting of different people. The conclusion was very good at bringing the paper to a close and summarizing what the author felt. I like how the authors stand on the issue wasn’t apparent until it was specifically said. All in all I like the paper a lot and think it is almost ready to be finished.
