Trans Community Braces for Potential Policy Shifts Under Trump

Transgender individuals in the U.S. are preparing for potential policy changes under a second Trump administration, which has promised to restrict their rights in areas such as identity documents, healthcare, and military service. Many are taking steps to secure legal name changes, stockpile medications, and consider relocation to more supportive states. Community organizing and mutual aid efforts are also being strengthened to support trans people, particularly those of color, in anticipation of increased challenges. Advocates emphasize the importance of resilience and preparedness in facing these potential policy shifts.
