I Just Wonder What Their Weird Obsession Is With Trans People. It Is Like They Have This Problem Seeing

I just wonder what their weird obsession is with trans people. It is like they have this problem seeing a male enjoying life dressed as a pretty and attractive woman and they lust for it. But they are fine with Vance wearing eyeliner and tRump in makeup... I think they are afraid because they secretly get off on it.

All the ways Trump wants to exclude trans people from public life

From passports to health care, the White House is trying to make it harder for transgender Americans to live openly and safely. Here's a loo

Orion Rummler and Kate Sosin at The 19th:

Federal agencies are carrying out executive orders from President Donald Trump that all share a common goal: removing transgender and nonbinary people from public life wherever possible. Through restricting access to accurate federal identity documents, threatening to withhold hospitals’ federal funding over gender-affirming care, and erasing trans history on federal websites and in schools, the Trump White House is using the federal government as a tool to make it harder for trans Americans to live openly — and safely — without fear of harassment and discrimination. Many of these policies are based on Trump’s promise, made during his inauguration speech, that his administration will recognize only “two genders, male and female.” That promise was signed into an executive order on day one of his presidency. LGBTQ+ rights attorneys are fighting back. Ten lawsuits have been taken up against the Trump administration’s anti-trans policies so far, and four have resulted in temporary restraining orders that pause enforcement. In court, federal judges are regarding Trump’s anti-trans executive orders with skepticism and, in some instances, outright disdain. Through it all, trans Americans are experiencing chaos and confusion — as well as fear and despair — as a result of these policies. This push to erase trans identity isn’t new. For years, Republican state lawmakers across the country have introduced laws to stop transgender adults and minors from being legally recognized in public life, to redefine legal definitions of sex to exclude trans people, and to block them from the health care and identity documents that they need. Now, that effort is being pursued by a sitting president. As The 19th covers how this administration is impacting women and LGBTQ+ people, we will be closely reporting on the anti-trans policies enacted by the Trump administration and their effects nationwide. Here are the key anti-trans policies enacted by the Trump White House and their impact so far.

Passports denied

The State Department is blocking new passports for trans and nonbinary Americans. U.S. passports with “X” gender markers will no longer be issued, although the agency has stated that existing passports with an “X” marker are valid until replaced or expired. In practice, this means that trans people trying to obtain passports with a gender marker that matches their physical appearance, gender identity and other identity documents are being rejected. Trans men and transmasculine people are receiving passports back from the agency that declare them to be women, while trans women and transfeminine people are getting passports that state they are male.

School censorship

President Trump has directed the federal government to begin a campaign to monitor and influence K-12 curriculum. This includes eliminating federal funding for schools that promote “indoctrination” based on “gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology.” This directive isn’t new, although it uses new language. Since 2020, Republicans in red states have tried to restrict teaching critical race theory, Black history, intersectionality and social justice — and bills to restrict how teachers can discuss gender identity and sexual orientation are intertwined with this effort. Florida’s curriculum censorship law, nicknamed “Don’t Say Gay” by LGBTQ+ advocates, is likely the most well-known example of state LGBTQ+ education restrictions. Trump’s order also prohibits recognition of students’ gender identity, such as by using their correct pronouns, and exposes teachers and staff who support trans students to legal actions by the attorney general. It threatens federal funding for schools that allow trans students to use restrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity, as well as schools that “deliberately conceal” a child’s trans identity from their parents.

Gender-affirming care restrictions

Hospitals in blue states like Massachusetts and New York, where gender-affirming care is protected under state law, stopped providing that care to trans adolescents and young trans adults following an executive order signed by Trump in late January. That’s according to a lawsuit against the administration by major LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. Two federal judges have temporarily blocked enforcement of Trump’s order — but health care access for young trans people in the United States is still largely uncertain. Some clinics have yet to resume services. Others have taken steps to remove public references to the trans health services that they do still offer, to avoid government scrutiny and federal funding cuts. In other cases, trans patients are being denied equal treatment while still technically receiving the same services. [...]

Banning trans girls from school sports

After Trump signed an executive order seeking the Justice Department’s help to enforce a ban on trans girls playing sports with other girls in school, the largest college sports governing body quickly fell in line. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has banned trans women student-athletes from competing in women’s sports, following Trump’s order threatening federal funds for schools that allow trans girls on girls’ teams. But to Trump’s allies, and his government, that doesn’t go far enough. The Education Department has urged the NCAA, as well as the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), to strip titles, records and awards from transgender women who have competed in women’s sports, per NBC News. [...]

Erasing trans history and resources

As part of Trump’s mandate against “gender ideology,” public health data was quickly removed from federal government websites. That included decades of HIV research, data on the mental health of girls and LGBTQ+ youth, and information on tobacco use among LGBTQ+ people. Some of these webpages have since reappeared in response to public outcry and a federal judge’s order that they be restored. [...]

Funding slashed for LGBTQ+ programs

LGBTQ+ nonprofits say that their services for vulnerable community members are threatened by the Trump administration’s push to pause federal funding, as well as the administration’s specific effort to revoke federal funding related to trans people.

This piece in The 19th News highlights all the ways the evil Trump Misadministration is erasing trans people from public existence, such as gender-affirming care bans for those under 19, websites erasing trans contributions, gender markers no longer allowed to have an “X”, and bans on trans women from women’s sports.
