Transgender advocates express concern over Trump election's impact on rights

Transgender-rights advocates express concern over the recent election of Donald Trump and his allies, viewing it as a significant setback for trans rights. Many fear potential policies that could further marginalize transgender individuals, amid a growing backlash against their rights. Trump's administration may impose restrictions on transgender students, limit access to gender-affirming medical care, and reintroduce bans on trans military service. Recent surveys show a majority of voters, particularly Trump supporters, believe support for transgender rights has gone too far. Despite these challenges, some activists celebrate victories, such as the election of Sarah McBride to Congress. However, anxiety remains high among trans activists, who emphasize the need for solidarity and resilience in the face of ongoing discrimination.
