Section 1:
Gender transition mentorship for school-age children is loaded with ethical quandaries. This proposal seeks to discover more about this problem, establish my perspective, and give a conclusion that will serve as the foundation for my study. Gender transition mentorship programs for school-age children have been a key focus in conversations about transgender and gender-diverse youth’s well-being and educational experiences (Horton, 2020). On one side, there are ardent advocates who advocate for nationwide mentoring programs to improve these children’swell-being and scholastic experiences. Concerns have been expressed related to how they could impact on children’s gender identities, as well as the role of schools in such programs (Gower, 2018; U.S. Department of Education, 2023). This paper will argue for a balanced strategy that combines the benefits of mentoring with thorough monitoring and ethical guidelines, supports child well-being and autonomy, and includes parents or guardians when appropriate.
Thesis Statement: This essay will argue that gender transition mentorship programs for school-age children should be implemented with a focus on clear guidelines and ethical standards, while also considering concerns about potential effects on children’s self-discovery and individuality.
Section Two:
What are the possible dangers of gender transition mentorship programs for school-aged children? I will address approaches to limit possible hazards, such as age appropriateness, via ethical monitoring. Could these initiatives have an unexpected impact on children’s gender identities? I will discuss the impact of mentoring programs on children’s gender identities, highlighting the significance of clear standards to safeguard their well-being. Are schools the best places to launch such mentorship programs? Concerns regarding the roles of schools will be addressed by highlighting the need of collaboration with mental health specialists and parents or guardians.
Section Three:
This proposal’s core audience comprises of educators, administrators, mental health experts, and government officials involved in the development of educational programs. These people may come from a variety of backgrounds, have different values, and have differing levels of expertise regarding gender transition mentorship programs. The audience is encouraged to think critically about the topic, evaluate children’s well-being, and be open to a balanced solution that meets ethical considerations.
Section Four:
My strategy for demonstrating to my audience will include the use of ethos, pathos, and logos to construct an engaging case. I will appeal to the audience’s sense of ethics and empathy for children’s well-being (pathos) while presenting logical and evidence-based arguments (logos). I will also prove our legitimacy by citing specialists in psychology and ethics (ethos).
Section Five:
My research strategy will include a thorough assessment of the research, as well as references from psychological professionals and ethical experts. My scholarly research will get support from the Gale Power search and ProQuest databases. I’ll also try to discover four to six articles from credible sources that adhere to the 7th edition APA citation format. Here are two reliable sources from the Keiser library databases that I have discovered so far: “Mampane, J. N., & Brown, A. (2021). Transitioning experiences of first year gender non-conforming students from school to university in South Africa. Interchange, 52(4), 447-461. https://0624czb8y-mp01-y-https-doi-org.prx-keiser.lirn.net/10.1007/s10780-021-09419-3” and also “Nardo, D. (2018). Legal issues that transgender people face. In Unlocking Current Issues. Transgender Life (pp. 89-107). Gale. https://06222zbdf-mp01-y-https-link-gale-com.prx-keiser.lirn.net/apps/doc/CX3672700017/GPS?u=lirn99776&sid=bookmark-GPS&xid=cecbda94”. The following are two links that I am likely to use as sources outside of the Keiser library: “https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8022833/” and “https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/sgd”. I initially considered “ethical guidelines,” “student transition,” “gender transition mentorship,” “parental involvement,” and “child well-being/concerns,” but I’d also want to include “autonomy” and “diversity” as potential important topics for my research.
