Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.
The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.
Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.
Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.
Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.
I got my name/gender markers updated a few years ago.
The Democrats lost the election due to a combination of their support of Israel (and corresponding economic impacts) and their terrible campaign/no primary. If you’re looking for people to blame they’re not on your left.
My son. He’s a transman. Trump declared him legally a woman yesterday.
Oh, that’s a confusing way to put it then. I don’t put much stock in what the federal government ‘declares’, their proclamations don’t mean it’s reality.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. It means good luck getting a passport or any other federal documentation with your actual gender on it. It means drugs and medical treatments that are approved at the federal level for gender transition won’t be available anymore. It means if you live in a state that isn’t friendly to trans people, you are going to suffer.
So it means trans people are fucked. How do you not know this?!?
And it’s not like the issue with Palestine is better under Trump. We had the choice between a candidate who would at least try to put pressure on Netanyahu… and one who will happily do whatever is asked of him by extreme evangelical Christians who believe Israel needs to be dominant in the Middle East so Jesus will come back.
How the fuck does anyone conclude that the Democrat is bad in comparison to that?
