Donald Trump initiated his second term by attacking trans rights, focusing first on government-issued IDs rather than directly targeting trans youth care. He issued a memorandum mandating federal documentation to reflect "accurate" binary gender, effectively impacting all transgender adults. This was coupled with broader threats against medical providers offering gender-affirming care. Trump's campaign has emphasized anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, supported by key allies like J.D. Vance, whose bills target both trans individuals and their allies, framing them as threats to children.
"On the inaugural day of Donald Trump's second term, he quickly initiated an assault on trans rights, prioritizing the revision of government-issued IDs over issues related to trans youths."
"Trump's long-promised agenda includes threatening federal funding for medical providers of gender-affirming care, marking a significant shift for trans rights in the U.S."
