A Quick Rundown of Day One ☝️
TLDR for cis and endosex folks: Trump is already prioritizing attacks on trans, nonbinary, and intersex communities. While the scope and practical impact of these early orders is limited (for now), they are a clear sign of what is to come and are already having serious impacts on gender-diverse communities. Now more than ever, it is time for you to step up and speak up.
TLDR for trans, nonbinary, and intersex folks: Trump is already up to some nonsense (shocker, I know). At the same time, it is important to remember that many of these early orders have no immediate effect, will be challenged in the courts, and may therefore be delayed, weakened, or blocked entirely moving forward. Remember that the Trump administration thrives on chaos and confusion, and these early executive orders are designed to do just that. So, as scary as these times may be, try not to let them rattle you too much. We aren’t going anywhere. source
