Trans people also face restrictions on selecting their gender for travel documents, using public restrooms and the ability to serve openly in the military. Last year, the Supreme Court upheld a state ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and seems poised to uphold a trans sports ban this session."
""It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights," she added. "And now, especially, it's not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities. I think that we are able to support each other in a way that we didn't have to before, and because of that, it's made us a lot stronger.""
Amber Glenn, an out Olympic figure skater, is confronting a "scary amount of threats" and has chosen to step away from social media at her athletic apex. The current U.S. administration has issued executive orders and policies that limit trans people's access to healthcare, vital services, gender markers on travel documents, restroom use, and military service. The Supreme Court recently upheld a state ban on gender-affirming care for minors and appears likely to consider a trans sports ban. Glenn emphasized community solidarity and cross-community support as a source of resilience. Glenn publicly came out as pansexual.
