On Jan. 21, President Trump signed an executive order rolling back protections for transgender and non-binary people. Furthermore, just last month, Republicans Nancy Macy and Speaker Mike Johnson went out of their way to stop Sarah McBride, a newly-elected out transgender Congress member, from using the women’s restroom by enforcing outdated and transphobic policies.
The attack was clearly politically motivated and an example of what LGBTQ+ people are facing even more with the new administration gearing up to take over Washington.
