The article highlights the severe measures taken by the Trump administration against transgender individuals, depicting these actions as a systematic assault on their rights and identities. It discusses policies that deny gender-affirming care, ban trans individuals from military service, and erase trans representation from curricula. The rhetoric used in these policies is depicted as graphic and dehumanizing, aimed at justifying discrimination. Despite this, the article commends the courageous responses by trans organizers and allies, who engage in protests, legal actions, and daily affirmations of their existence.
To deny gender-affirming care to trans youth... To ban trans people from the military, claiming we do not have 'the humility and selflessness required' to serve.
To justify this massive assault on our human rights, these orders contain graphic, dehumanizing, violent rhetoric and disinformation that cast trans people as a 'corrosive' moral and physical threat.
Trans organizers and allies have responded courageously with protests... and much more. In addition to these essential mobilizations, we are taking the action of simply living, as trans people.
To forcibly medically detransition federal prisoners, and throw trans women in men's prisons. To force us to carry legal documentation with the wrong gender marker imprinted on it.
