Donald Trump attacks trans women in Women's History Month proclamationhttps://www.advocate.com/politics/national/trump-transgender-womens-history 🔗Christopher Wiggins (13 March 2026)
President Donald Trump used a presidential proclamation marking Women's History Month to again spotlight policies targeting transgender Americans, tying a national observance honoring women's achievements to an agenda that LGBTQ+ advocates say has steadily eroded federal recognition and protections for trans people.
The proclamation, released by the White House on Thursday, praises women's contributions to American history while criticizing what Trump calls "gender ideology" and promoting policies the administration says protect women and girls. The message points to actions taken since Trump returned to office that restrict recognition of transgender identities in federal policy and public life.
