I anticipate that transgender Americans may not simply face legal obstacles, but also the possibility that the people charged with providing federal services may openly despise them, and feel no compunction in expressing their hostility given the president’s own antipathy towards minorities.
Many immigrants have written about how we always keep a part of ourselves even when we’re somewhere else, but as a trans woman, it’s hard to talk openly about an experience I often have, of being reminded of my former life as a boy and young man.
