Oppose Efforts to Dehumanize Transgender and LGBTQ+ People
2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
The Trump administration's recent executive orders and policy statements represent a disturbing and unacceptable attack on the rights and dignity of transgender and LGBTQ+ individuals. Assertions that gender is an immutable "biological reality" and that gender-affirming care constitutes "mutilation" are profoundly harmful and contradict overwhelming scientific consensus. By erasing and demonizing these vulnerable communities, these policies enable discrimination, endanger lives, and corrode fundamental American values of equality and freedom. It is imperative that Congress takes immediate action to reject this bigoted agenda and enshrine robust federal protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, including codifying access to gender-affirming healthcare and upholding the rights of transgender military members to serve openly. Failing to confront these hateful policies makes our nation complicit in perpetuating injustice against our own citizens solely on the basis of who they are. I urge you to prioritize standing firm against these dehumanizing efforts that have no place in a free and democratic society.
