On Transgender Day of Visibility, LGBTQ+ advocates in the Bay Area celebrated trans lives while expressing concerns over federal policies under the Trump administration that threaten their rights. Demonstrators in San Jose promoted transgender rights, stating that the fight for equality is urgent amidst fear tactics and misinformation aimed at dehumanizing the community. Trump's policies, including a ban on transgender military service and restrictions on gender-affirming care, have sparked significant backlash. Despite these challenges, advocates emphasize the importance of visibility and the determination to fight for their rights.
"There's been a lot of fear tactics being spread lately. There's a lot of intentional misinformation to dehumanize this community."
"We lead great lives here in the Bay Area, and we want people to see us as people. We want everybody to know that we do exist."
