""We're being silenced and pushed apart," Tillman told Variety. "We need more voices, we need more stories, we need more appearances, more presence across the board and not just in this country but around the world. "I'm glad to be a part of that movement and do whatever I can to support our community and uplift us, especially the trans community, because we need it.""
"Since his inauguration earlier this year, Trump has signed executive orders banning transgender people from serving in the military, barring trans women from female sports and restricting gender-affirming healthcare for trans youngsters under the age of 19. He has also moved to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programmes across the government and in the military. Tillman also added: "We have each other. We'll get through it. We will push past this, and we will survive because we always do, and we always have.""
Tramell Tillman, a 40-year-old gay actor known for his role as Seth Milchick, affirmed the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community amid mounting political attacks. He called for more voices, stories, appearances and global presence and emphasized support and uplift for the trans community. Anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment and lawmaking have been increasing, with a House bill to criminalise gender-affirming care for trans youth and executive actions banning transgender military service, barring trans women from female sports, restricting gender-affirming healthcare for under-19s, and targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programmes. Tillman highlighted community solidarity and survival in the face of these assaults.
