"President Donald Trump has long pushed for restrictions on transgender rights around , education and even daily life. That effort has been even more pronounced in his second term of office. Behind any policy from the White House is a team of advisers who guide its phrasing, provisions, and execution. When it comes to issues around gender and trans rights, chief among them is May Mailman, who was a senior policy strategist for Trump from January to August 2025."
"One defined sex as a "biological reality" - revoking federal recognition of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex identities - and the other dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within the U.S. government. While Mailman has departed her formal role in the Trump administration, she remains involved in certain policy efforts, Mother Jones recently reported. Her continued connection to the White House could hold significance for its policies around trans issues in the federal government and beyond."
President Donald Trump has increased efforts to restrict transgender rights in his second term across healthcare, education, and daily life. May Mailman served as a senior policy strategist for Trump from January to August 2025 and authored two executive orders signed on his first day that defined sex as a "biological reality" and dismantled federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Mailman previously served as a legal adviser and focused on immigration, higher education, gender, and DEI. She worked closely with Stephen Miller and remains involved in policy efforts, maintaining a connection to the White House that could shape federal approaches to trans issues.
