Can someone please clarify this for me? Does Trump plan to revoke trans rights? I'm a trans woman and I'm scared for my future all of my friends are saying its true and others aren't. I'm worried. I, myself, wanted Trump in office but now I'm wondering if that was a bad idea.

In all honesty, I would look into Project 2025. Even though Trump claims he has no association with it, many of his associates have worked on it. In response to your question, he has been targeting the LGBTQ+ community for a long time, especially trans folk. I would not be surprised if he does revoke aspects of trans healthcare. I know it is worrisome, but I would suggest looking up some resources in my recent essay and encouraging you to research his policies. Trust in your community that we will continue to fight for your/our rights. The most important thing now is to offer support to our fellow friends and speak up.

I don't know the answer to that question but I myself am a ally and I have some of the same fears. You are not alone.
Hi Willow_tree1, your concerns are justified, but remember that we do have a system of checks and balances, and a president has certain powers, but is not a king. Before a right can be lost there are intervening steps, including the courts, that can stop it from happening. It's wise to be wary under these circumstances, but try not to fret. As Sawyer suggested above, research and read reliable news sources until you feel satisfied that you have the answers you're looking for.
