All the ways Trump wants to exclude trans people from public life

Story by Orion Rummler, Kate Sosin (5 March 2025)
Federal agencies are carrying out executive orders from President Donald Trump that all share a common goal: removing transgender and nonbinary people from public life wherever possible. Through restricting access to accurate federal identity documents, threatening to withhold hospitals' federal funding over gender-affirming care, and erasing trans history on federal websites and in schools, the Trump White House is using the federal government as a tool to make it harder for trans Americans to live openly — and safely — without fear of harassment and discrimination.
The State Department is blocking new passports for trans and nonbinary Americans.
In practice, this means that trans people trying to obtain passports with a gender marker that matches their physical appearance, gender identity and other identity documents are being rejected.
President Trump has directed the federal government to begin a campaign to monitor and influence K-12 curriculum.
Hospitals in blue states like Massachusetts and New York, where gender-affirming care is protected under state law, stopped providing that care to trans adolescents and young trans adults following an executive order signed by Trump in late January... Two federal judges have temporarily blocked enforcement of Trump's order — but health care access for young trans people in the United States is still largely uncertain.
As part of Trump's mandate against "gender ideology," public health data was quickly removed from federal government websites.

Are there any artists among our members? If President Trump could see how pretty he could be with the right make-up and clothing and hormone therapy, he might become less transphobic.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
Since he loves AI so much, let's consult an AI artist. ;D

I love the British flag lapel pin. Not sure why the AI thought that was appropriate.

Anyway, she is bound to become much more friendly after she sees how much better she looks as a woman.

The image now just shows the message "Content not viewable in your region". It seems that Presidentess Trump is a shy young thing after all.

Imgur has blocked content in the UK, so you won't be able to see it.
