Activists worry that Trump will bulldoze trans rights. Here's how they're preparing

Trump's campaign promised policies targeting the transgender community once he's in office. LGBTQ groups face fear, anxiety and uncertainty as they prep for an anticipated challenging four years.

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:

It will not be retroactive.

Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.

Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed

“They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

Trump reportedly plans to swiftly eject trans troops within days of inauguration

Trump’s actions could eject thousands of current trans service members
