The Trump-Vance Ticket is Anti-Trans
Description
How could the Trump-Vance ticket impact the transgender community, their rights, and their access to care?
The political climate is fraught with tension as Trump emerges as a significant threat to transgender rights. Considering Trump's anti-LGBTQ+ actions during his presidency and several anti-trans remarks he has made during the current campaign, most of us are living in days of uncertainty and fear.
In this episode, we analyze the political landscape as we approach the 2024 United States presidential elections. You'll hear our thoughts on Trump's intention to pass a bill establishing that the US Government will recognize only two genders, the lack of affirming care for trans people if he wins, and Elon Musk's decision to remove X's operations from San Francisco.
You'll also hear about the myths around the "trans epidemic among children," why it is crucial to fight for the continuity of gender-affirming care, and more.
Important announcements:
We will release a special bonus episode tomorrow about Kamala Harris’s campaign, with our thoughts on her qualifications and her history of LGBTQ+ support.
