Transgender Toilet facilities argument in America

In America Transgender people are finding it more difficult and frightening about which toilet to go to. This is because Cis gender people (relating to a person whose self-identity conforms with the gender that corresponds to their biological sex; not transgender) are scared that they might get raped or assaulted in the toilets by transgender people. To me I find this difficult to understand as when anyone goes to the toilet all the want to do is use the toilet, also what is to stop a Cis gender person attack another Cis gender person?


 In a news report by the BBC The Texas bill would force transgender people to use toilets in schools and other public buildings according to the gender on their birth certificate. This is taking no notice to their gender specification or which gender they see themselves. 

I have seen a lot in the media how some youtubers would go as far to say that being transgender is a mental disorder. Links will be added to these videos. 
Another article shows a mothers daughter who transitioned and why it is important to trans people to go to their assigned gender toilet.

Transgender people are now becoming more afraid to use their "biological gender" assigned toilets, of fear to be beaten up or worse killed.


I chose the Transgender toilet debate as it a very recent topic and goes again the basic human right; Equal rights to access for public services

Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy.

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
