  9. According to John Oliver the rights of transgender people is that they can be called whatever they want. Also he thinks transgender people have the right to use which ever bathroom they feel comfortable in, and shouldn't be discriminated for who they are.

  10. The rights are that they should be called what they want to be called, be able to go in what ever bathroom that chose to identify with. They should be able to do what makes them happy, they can't choose how they feel they are who they are and people should stop being so horrible about it and let them be who they are.

  12. I believe that the right is, they should be what ever gender they want to be and we should accept their decision. They should be comfortable living the way they want to live and should be a part of us. We should not judge, bully, and make bills and claims that are against transgendered people. Schools, shops, and other social buildings should accept transgendered people for who they are.

  14. Literally the same rights as everyone else. I mean really a transgender is not a random creature that should have different rules than everyone else. Like really if you say your a girl...YOU'RE A GIRL and vice versa. I mean if I walked up to you and said "I'm a girl" you shouldn't be like "Wrong, I don't even KNOW what your talking about, but you're a boy"...I mean come on now, really? Please people, stop treating transgenders differently. They aren't different. If we got rid of the term transgender there would only be: boys, girls, and whatever the else you wanna be called.
