Impacts of Trump’s Anti-Trans Actions Already Felt in California
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Since taking office, President Trump has issued executive orders rolling back trans Americans’ rights in schools, prisons and the military. The administration is also attempting to pull critical federal funding for transgender health programs and research. Many of these actions are being challenged in court, but they’re still impacting trans Americans’ day-to-day lives — even in California. We’ll talk about the national and statewide landscape for trans rights in Trump’s America.
