CeCé Telfer, the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA title, spoke out about the escalating challenges for trans individuals since Donald Trump's presidency. She described the heightened anti-trans rhetoric and the feeling of being targeted due to her multiple identities. Telfer expressed sadness over the toxic environment that discourages her participation in sports, and she cited Trump’s controversial ban on trans athletes as a major factor contributing to the difficulties faced by the trans community.
"Each of my identities is a target, especially in America." Trans athlete CeCé Telfer tells @AmandaDCNN why she is ready to challenge President Trump's ban on trans athletes.
"I wake up every day and I have to make sure that I make it home alive"... I feel like a lot of the anti-trans rhetoric has become louder, more in my face."
