Currently, the transgender and LGBTQ+ populations have received more rights and freedoms. However, discrimination persists to this day. To eradicate it, people need to introduce principles aimed at protecting vulnerable groups of the population. The principles of the struggle for the transgender and LGBTQ+ populations should include respect for the choice and self-identification of a person (Garretson, 2018).
For example, the number of genders and the right of people to identify themselves with one of them should be legally established. To do this, non-violent methods of attracting the attention of the population can be used. Women, in the struggle for equal rights, chained themselves to the gates or held peaceful rallies with posters near the administration buildings. The result was equal rights, the opportunity to vote in elections and equal pay.
In addition, another principle is the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups of the population at the legislative level and equating discrimination with a punishable crime. However, a fierce struggle with the use of force should be avoided (Garretson, 2018).
For example, the protests of African Americans that took place two years ago caused divisions in society due to cases of violence. As a result, they failed to sufficiently achieve the eradication of discrimination. Finally, another principle is to educate the public about transgender and LGBTQ+ populations. Lectures in schools and universities and freely available on the Internet can explain the essence of the movement and its importance. The Latin American population of the second half of the 20th century explained to the inhabitants of the country the importance of their culture. They refused to go to work, staged demonstrations and defended the traditions of their people by talking about them.
Moreover, the current Supreme Court is committed to overturning the rights that protect LGBTQ+. This is a direct violation of human rights, which should be considered on the world stage and have the character of gross discrimination. The principle in this case is counterclaims, a wider campaign to publicize the problem and appeal to the authorities. In this case, representatives of the movement will be able to get the opportunity to live in a society where equality is the fundamental pillar.
