During his campaign, Trump and his supporters spent nearly $60 million on eight anti-trans network-TV ads...
He has supported a number of policies targeting transgender people, who make up less than 1% of adults in the U.S. At campaign rallies over the summer, he promised to take at least two actions regarding the trans community on his first day in office: undo Biden administration Title IX protections that allowed trans students to use the school bathrooms that align with their gender identities, and cut federal funding for schools "pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children."
Trump also promised to reinstate a policy enacted during his first term that barred trans people from enlisting in the military and to institute a new policy barring transition-related care for minors nationwide. The agenda on his website says he would declare that any hospital or clinician that provides transgender care to minors would "no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare — and will be terminated from the program immediately."
The president-elect's agenda also includes issuing guidance to federal agencies to define sex only as one's sex assigned at birth, which would make it harder for trans people to change the gender markers on federal documents such as passports.
