I’m writing to express my extreme dismay with the Trump Administration’s attacks on transgender Americans. These are American citizens, protected under the Constitution, who are just trying to live their lives. They are a tiny majority—only about 1.14% of the nation’s adult population. The fact that the government is spending so much time attacking them is shameful. Trump’s bans on transgender people in the military will make us less safe, and his attacks on gender affirming care will lead to actual harm. Trans kids especially will suffer. Suicide rates will increase. Is that what the Congressmember wants?
