Chase Strangio: Trump's Anti-Trans Executive Orders Threaten LGBTQ+ People, Claim to Defend Women

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt On his first day back in the White House, Donald Trump moved to roll back protections for transgender people. In his inaugural address, Trump declared the U.S. government's policy is "there are only two genders: male and female." Chase Strangio, co-director of the American Civil Liberties Union's LGBTQ & HIV Project, describes Trump's executive orders aimed at pushing "a slew of policies that just seek to both eradicate trans people from civic and public life and also push trans people out of federal government." "Trans people are bracing themselves for a lot of negative outcomes here, not just symbolic, but really material ones," says Strangio. "I know the community is scared. I know people are confused. And in this chaos, we just have to come together and build all the forms of resistance we know how to."
