Question about project 2025
what is the worst case scenario for trans people
Answer
Project 2025's playbook could lead to the rollback of numerous protections for LGBTQ+ people, including those protecting against discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, and education. The platform might actively seek to reinterpret Supreme Court precedent to permit religious exemptions, which could significantly diminish existing rights. There is also potential for increased harassment, discrimination, and violence against trans people, exacerbated by the absence of explicit governmental protections. Additionally, the elimination of the White House Gender Policy Council, intended to address such issues as gender based violence and promote women's health, leaves vulnerable populations with limited avenues for support. The elimination of the EPA's Office of Environmental Justice further jeopardizes already-marginalized groups who are frequently disproportionately affected by pollution and its associated health issues. The elimination of protections for LGBTQ people and the elimination of crucial government support for those already at risk is potentially devastating.
