These are just some of the ways the Trump Administration has attacked trans and nonbinary people in 2018.

Education. Betsy DeVos has rolled back protections for students filing reports of sexual assault on college campuses. These protections were critical for students who disproportionately experience sexual assault, such as trans and nonbinary students. aclu.org/blog/womens-ri…

Health Care. Just last week, the Trump DOJ asked a court to invalidate health care protections for trans and nonbinary people as part of the ACA. This case is a blatant attempt to keep trans and nonbinary people from accessing basic health care. slate.com/human-interest…

Military. The Trump administration is pushing SCOTUS to approve a trans military ban. Here's what that ban would mean for trans people who want to serve in the military and those currently serving. aclu.org/blog/lgbt-righ…

Employment. For nearly two decades, dozens of courts — including 5 federal appeals courts — have said existing federal law protects trans people from discrimination. The Trump DOJ asked the Supreme Court to undo these protections. aclu.org/blog/lgbt-righ…

Prisons. Federal law requires that prisons and jails protect trans people from violence while in custody. Rules intended to provide safety — as well as respect the dignity of trans people — were rolled back, but that doesn't change existing federal law. aclu.org/blog/lgbt-righ…

There is good news: This year, 1,829,689 people in Massachusetts and Alaska voted to uphold nondiscrimination protections for transgender people. And the Trump administration alone cannot undo federal law or decades of court decisions.

Most importantly, trans and nonbinary people keep organizing and fighting back. Listen to attorney @chasestrangio discuss the current landscape for trans rights. aclu.org/podcast/shifti…
