Virtue Ethics CaseVirtue Ethics is known as character ethics. It basically states that while living your life you should always aim towards excellence in all that you do as well as in what others do. Virtue ethics can be moral and nonmoral. Utilitarianism is basically saying that the happiness or well-being of individuals is the fundamental of human good. Now Deontology would fall under the moral theories, it guides and asses our choices of what we should be doing and what kind of person we are and what kind of person we should be.
In everyday life as a mother I believe I use virtue ethics with my son on a daily basis. I constantly do the best I can at school and in my home in order to set a good example for my son. I show my son when I do homework and how hard I work. This way he sees and learns he needs to work hard as well while at school or at home. I also use Utilitarianism by explaining to him he needs to be considerate of people’s feelings the way I am considerate of his feelings. For example I tell him not to make fun of people or to bully anyone because that will not make someone happy. I also show him that his well-being is very important to me by giving him healthy foods and making sure he is happy most of the time. I use Deontology by showing my son right from wrong. I also explain to him as to why his actions and decisions are important for his future. For example I explain to him to always have integrity by always doing what’s right even when no one is looking.
The Utilitarianists try to use these same arguments to justify and defend the treatment of women who have undergone gender reassignment surgery. The concept of “transgender,” one of the most common gender reassignment procedures, comes to define what the term refers to. An example:
Male transgender person ‏: There are a number of different reasons people who have gender dysphoria would choose to switch genders because they feel good about that change. These reasons include— (1) love and acceptance, respect for one another, and having the peace and respect that comes from being transgender, such that any situation does not have to be “transgender”. It’s not like people have always been forced to take up certain gender roles, either. Most people in the community, particularly in the military and the military’s military, will have transitioned to female over the past 20 years, but not many transgender people (other than those who believe that the “end of gender” is imminent); the gender “non-conforming”, often, can be a positive factor. That doesn’t mean, however, that people who don’t identify as non-conforming will be punished under the military; in a majority of cases, that is just not their feeling at all.
The military recognizes gender dysphoria when it recognizes the biological and psychological characteristics of transgender individuals. In his book ” Gender dysphoria, The Military Journal, 2nd edition, pp. 7-8, it is stated—
It affects one person, in a variety of ways, and affects everyone in our society, and that impact is, according to the definition of gender dysphoria, a social condition that has been medically defined as gender dysphoria.
While it may be true for certain cases, or even for most of those who have transitioned to female, the military would not consider them to have gender dysphoria if they had been “genderqueer” or transgender as a person, and therefore would not allow them to play professional sports and participate in their own sports.
If this view of transgender people is supported or confirmed by the medical profession, those who transition should at least acknowledge that they are genderqueer and that they are not forced to remain in the military because of their body parts; the medical profession would not be held responsible for not having performed on such gender.
There are two main reasons transgender people have transitioned to female:
Some members of the military may be trans (although some do not).
some members of the military may be trans (although some do not). The transgender person is often in pain.
Treatment for female transsexuals varies from person to person as well as from individual to individual.[6] A transgender person can not transition to male gender, for example due to an extreme traumatic brain injury, PTSD, or trauma from sexual assault.
Treatment for male gender dysphoria includes hormone therapy, surgical surgery, psychological testing and treatment with anti-psychotic medications (prophylactic and pro-transgender). These hormones may also increase hormone levels of a hormone called estrogen in response to transgender pain, and may reduce hormonal levels of estrogen hormones used to treat a condition called female-to-male transsexualism, as was the case under the military medical code in 1984 for those with male symptoms that were caused by genital surgery.[7] Transgender people may also undergo hormone therapy to counteract the effects of hormone damage in body parts, such as liver and kidney.[8]
Some people experience pain in a specific area of the body that they have been forced to undergo gender transition.[9] In all cases, transgender individuals are generally able
