A Huge Thanks to Erin In The Morning for keeping us updated on significant issues impacting our transgender community. The willful ignorance and bigotry cannot be tolerated! We will continue to speak out against the anti-trans legislation and those that promote it.
Here's what Erin shared today:
Today, Donald Trump will assume the office of President of the United States. Officials have indicated to Fox News that Trump is expected to sign more than 200 executive orders on his first day, with the orders grouped into multiple omnibus packages containing dozens of directives each. One of these packages, revealed by far-right outlet The Free Press, is titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” Many other executive orders targeting transgender people are also possible. Here are the policies that Trump has indicated he will pursue targeting transgender people, many of which could be set into via executive order quickly on day 1:
Removing Legal Recognition of Transgender People
Transgender People in Prisons
Pronoun Policies and Title IX Changes
Bathroom Bans in Federal Facilities
Attacks on Transgender Service Members
Gender-Affirming Care and FDA Investigations
