LeAnne Withrow, a transgender woman and military employee, navigates the ramifications of a Trump administration mandate requiring federal employees to use facilities aligned with their assigned sex at birth. Withrow's journey reflects the challenges faced by transgender individuals in the military, particularly under evolving policies. After filing a complaint against this mandate, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the transgender military ban, leading to fears and uncertainty among service members and civilian employees about their rights and safety. Withrow, who prefers to avoid confrontation, now finds her stability disrupted, caught in a legal and political storm.
"I've gone out of my way, especially early in my transition, to not create issues... Just to make sure that I wasn't going to bother anybody."
"Life can be very dangerous for trans people. Just one day after the class action complaint was filed, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump's transgender military ban could proceed."
