Infographics on Trans Issues

Lately, I've been doing some research on the treatment of depressed transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals in a therapeutic setting. With the topic still fresh in my mind, I decided to search for infographics on trans issues.

This first infographic is essentially a brief overview of terms. I'm decently familiar with trans issues, but my recent research has shown me that even the most "basic" terms are often unknown or misunderstood, so I think that this is an effective educational infographic. It's very simple both in content and design, and the title is very effective at communicating that. This infographic would be easy for anyone to read and understand because of the simplistic images, chunky design, and easy language.

Although this infographic comes from the same place as the last one, it carries a very different message. While the last image could basically be a reference sheet for definitions, this one very clearly addresses the argument that trans people regret transitioning. It presents a factually and logically sound argument through the use of statistics, which are clearly displayed in pie charts and bars. This infographic is also busier than the last, but it isn't overwhelming. The use of contrasting colors and quote bubbles breaks the image up nicely and makes it easy to read and understand each point made.

The final infographic here is busier than the other two, and its message is broader in scope. This is because, as the title denotes, this infographic was made for transgender awareness week. At first glance, this infographic doesn't seem to make a linear argument, but if you follow the messages of each section of statistics - first with harassment in public, then discrimination in the health field, then the lack of health care, then the unique health issues, and finally to the issue of HIV in this population, it seems that an inferential argument is made. That argument coincides with the title and reasoning for making the infographic, so it seems fairly effective in all - but I'm wondering if people in general think about this as an argument. It may not be very effective if they don't.
