The existence of transgender people is not up for debate. Yet the Trump administration has apparently redoubled its efforts to exclude transgender Americans from the protection of federal civil rights laws. splcenter.org/news/2018/10/2…
This administration — based on news reports over the weekend in @nytimes — seems to think it can write transgender people out of existence by issuing regulations declaring that sex is determined at birth and cannot be changed.
But we are watching closely. We are paying attention to the admin's connections to outside groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom, a hate group that seeks to undermine the rights + the dignity of transgender people and push them back into the shadows. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
These groups fail to remember that dozens of courts have fully affirmed the rights and identities of transgender people over the past 2 decades. We will continue to resist hateful policies and stand up for the rights of the transgender community. #WontBeErased
