Capt. Christina Winters, a transgender Army Reserve officer from Kentucky, has gained attention for her powerful message shared on Trans Day of Visibility. In a TikTok video, she encouraged fellow trans individuals while denouncing the efforts of the Trump administration to eliminate the visibility of transgender people in society. Despite the risks to her military career, Winters stands firm, asserting that the community deserves recognition and support. Her message has provoked reactions, including backlash from anti-trans groups, highlighting the ongoing societal challenges faced by the transgender community.
My name is Christina Winters, and I'm a captain in the Army Reserve. I want you to know that you are seen, you are loved, you're appreciated... Now, the current administration wants us to not be visible. They want us to be invisible. They want to remove us from society... We will not be erased. We are here, and we are here to stay.
The video, which only has about 1200 views on Winters' TikTok account and included a disclaimer that it did not represent the views of the Army, drew immediate backlash from anti-trans commentators and Republican lawmakers.
Libs of TikTok posted that Winters 'claims that the Trump administration is trying to remove trans people from their homes and is encouraging individuals to be 'annoyingly' proud during Trans Day of Visibility.'
