FRAMING A NARRATIVE OF DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSGENDER PRISONER HEALTH CARE Sarah Halbach* This Comment looks closely at the reasoning behind two recent federal court opinions granting transgender prisoners access to hormone therapy and sex-reassignment surgery. Although both opinions were decided under the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, which does not expressly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity, a careful look at the courts’ reasoning suggests that they were influenced by the apparent discrimination against the transgender plaintiffs. This Comment argues that future transgender prisoners may be able to develop an antidiscrimination doctrine within the Eighth Amendment by framing their Eighth Amendment medical claims in terms of discrimination based on their transgender status. -
INCORPORATING TRANSGENDER VOICES INTO the DEVELOPMENT of PRISON POLICIES Kayleigh Smith
15 Hous. J. Health L. & Policy 253 Copyright © 2015 Kayleigh Smith Houston Journal of Health Law & Policy FREE TO BE ME: INCORPORATING TRANSGENDER VOICES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRISON POLICIES Kayleigh Smith I. INTRODUCTION In the summer of 2013, Netflix aired its groundbreaking series about a women’s federal penitentiary, Orange is the New Black. One of the series’ most beloved characters is Sophia, a transgender woman who committed credit card fraud in order to pay for her sex reassignment surgeries.1 In one of the most poignant scenes of the entire first season, Sophia is in the clinic trying to regain access to the hormones she needs to maintain her physical transformation, and she tells the doctor with tears in her eyes, “I need my dosage. I have given five years, eighty thousand dollars, and my freedom for this. I am finally who I am supposed to be. I can’t go back.”2 Sophia is a fictional character, but her story is similar to the thousands of transgender individuals living within the United States prison system.3 In addition to a severe lack of physical and mental healthcare, many transgender individuals are harassed and assaulted, creating an environment that leads to suicide and self- 1 Orange is the New Black: Lesbian Request Denied (Netflix streamed July 11, 2013). Transgender actress Laverne Cox plays Sophia on Orange is the New Black. Cox’s rise to fame has given her a platform to speak about transgender rights in the mainstream media.

Jodie Foster a Hollywood Prodigy
Presents JODIE FOSTER A HOLLYWOOD PRODIGY A 52’ documentary Written by Yal Sadat and directed by Camille Juza Produced by HAUT ET COURT TV and PETIT DRAGON PROVISIONAL DELIVERY: SEPTEMBER 2020 1 PITCH It’s hard to imagine a more “Hollywood” tale than that of Jodie Foster. She was practically born on a movie set. Pushed by a mother who wanted to make her a star, she comes from a world of stereotypes. And yet she is a very unusual figure in this industry. She is an intellectual who speaks French and is a confirmed Francophile. She plays complex characters that have nothing to do with the temptresses loved by American cinema. At first, she was that Lolita who fascinated the crowds and appealed to every gaze – even those of predators. But her status as this precocious young beauty almost cost her her career, before she decided to take matters into her own hands and become the most powerful actress and female director in Hollywood. How did the former child star, discovered in Disney TV movies and reinvented as a 12-year-old prostitute in Taxi Driver, manage to conquer a powerful, patriarchal industry that probably never really understood her? Too radical for the Hollywood oligarchy but too mainstream for the militant groups that reproached her for hiding her homosexuality and maintaining ties with Mel Gibson and Roman Polanski, Jodie Foster is problematic. She lived out her feminism as a lonesome cowgirl, alone against the world, settling for films that got her voice heard. It’s as if she was jealously guarding a secret. -
It Reveals Who I Really Am”: New Metaphors, Symbols, and Motifs in Representations of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Popular Culture
“IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture. -

Childhood best friends Lizzy and Luke de- cided long ago that if they were both sin- gle at 30, they’d start a family together — just not the old fashioned way. Lizzy is a lesbian and Luke is straight. ”We may not be everyone’s idea of a traditional fam- ily,” Lizzy says to the pharmacist provid- ing her pre-prenatal pills, ”but my point is we’re still good people with solid val- ues.” With parenthood a positive pregnancy test away, Lizzy asks Luke if he’s ready for such a commitment, especially since he never even lets his dates spend the night. -
The Case of Rewards and Punishments
THE CASE OF REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS: ANALYZING TELEVISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF RACE AND GENDER IN TWO 21ST-CENTURY CRIMINAL DRAMA SERIES by Amanda Adams A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media and Communication Middle Tennessee State University May 2018 Thesis Committee: Dr. Katherine Foss, Chair Dr. Ken Blake Dr. Jane Marcellus ABSTRACT This discourse analysis examines Orange Is the New Black and How to Get Away with Murder to determine how race, gender, and intersectional positions are represented in fictional criminal justice shows of the early 21st century. The analysis determines how “rewards” and “punishments” shape the shows’ discourses on these positions, as well as what the discourses indicate about power and hegemony. The sample consists of 56 episodes from the first two seasons of each show. Results indicate that both shows call attention to certain stereotypes and inequalities related to race and gender, via tribal divisions, hyperaware stereotypes, and race-based rewards and punishments. However, they contribute to other hegemonic ideologies, including the normalization of racism, traditional female gender roles, LGBT conformity to heteronormative ideals, and power based upon socioeconomic status. Taken together, the discourses indicate that the shows are at least somewhat influenced by white, middle to upper class male hegemony. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION ………………………………………..… 1 Statement of Purpose ………………………………………..…………….... 3 Historical Background ………………………………………..…………….. 5 Race and Television ………………………………………..…………... 5 Gender and Television ………………………………………..……….... 7 Race, Gender, and Television ………………………………………..…. 9 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW ………………………………… 12 Representation and Stereotypes on Prime-Time Television ……………… 12 Race/Ethnicity ……………………………………………………....… 12 Gender ………………………………………..……………………….. 16 Intersection of Race and Gender …………….…...……..…………..… 21 Representations of Criminality and Its Intersections of Race and Gender .. -
