The article by Suzanne Ford details the challenges faced by the transgender community under the new presidential administration. Policies are being enacted that threaten their existence, including difficulty in changing federal documents and limited access to gender-affirming healthcare for military families. An executive order impedes transgender individuals' ability to serve openly in the armed forces. Ford reflects on feelings of persecution, fear, and isolation within the community, emphasizing their resilience and commitment to continue fighting against discrimination and advocating for their rights, despite the oppressive climate.
We face a new executive order concerning trans service in the armed forces that threatens our existence and wellbeing, leading to increased danger and discrimination.
The trans community is facing four years of persecution, and it feels increasingly unsafe as support dwindles under a government that marginalizes our existence.
