Native LGBTQ+ advocates react to Trump's 'wholesale assault' insurance policies on gender identification

(KRON) — Transgender rights advocates are reacting to President Trump’s inaugural speech that affirmed going ahead the U.S. authorities will solely acknowledge two genders: female and male.

“It’s a very ominous development for transgender people,” mentioned Shannon Minter, authorized director for the San Francisco-based Nationwide Heart for Lesbian Rights. “Transgender people simply want to be able to live, work, have families, use facilities safely like anyone else, and this appears to be a wholesale attack on the ability of transgender people to exist and function in any meaningful way.”

Minter mentioned the manager orders that can come subsequent may require transgender individuals to be recognized solely by their intercourse at delivery on their passport, and that’s only the start.

“Workplace protections eliminated, anti-discrimination protections in education, for example, young people being harassed at school because they’re transgender, eliminated,” mentioned Minter. “Housing protections eliminated so that people could be denied housing or turned away from shelters because they’re transgender, an ability to obtain federal IDs, like passports, taken away.”

Honey Mahogany, who directs the San Francisco Workplace of Transgender Initiatives, mentioned she thinks the pendulum will finally swing again, however for now, the transgender neighborhood should put together.

“They may start with trans people, but if we don’t protect people starting now and protect our most vulnerable, soon everybody will be on the plate,” mentioned Mahogany. “We’re already seeing an immigration of transpeople of all walks of life, to places like San Francisco and California.”

Mahogany added, “I think it’s really important to look at solidarity. Find your community nearby, form coalitions for mutual aid networks, because the sad reality is, as they dismantle a lot of these things, especially in those red states, they’re going to have less and less support.”

Transgender activists mentioned the neighborhood mustn’t lose hope, as authorized challenges are already within the works and the conservative U.S. Supreme Courtroom might present assist.

“It is a court that very recently held that federal law protects transgender people from discrimination,” mentioned Minter. “Because of that decision, I am very optimistic that this court is not going to turn its back on that very recent ruling. I think the court will stick to its guns on that position.”
