In the wake of last month's election, marginalized communities threatened during Trump's campaign—immigrants, the poor, people of color, LGBTQ people and others—have been left to grapple with an uncertain future.For transgender Americans, a Trump administration signals the possible end of legal protections gained under Obama. Over the past eight years, various executive agencies, administering housing, health, education and more, have made clear that transgender people are protected under existing laws prohibiting discrimination based on sex. This has allowed transgender students broader protection from discrimination in schools, extended greater legal rights to homeless transgender people in public housing, and given many access to life-saving medical care under the Affordable Care Act. In these and other ways, President Obama and his administration have saved untold trans and gender-nonconforming lives.These protections are now in danger. On the back of one of the most discriminatory party platforms in the GOP's history and flanked by a vice president with a demonstrated and vested interest in rescinding LGBTQ rights, Trump will enter the White House carrying promises to roll back each of President Obama's executive orders, including those protecting LGBTQ employees of federal contractors from discrimination and transgender students' rights. He has promised to sign the First Amendment Defense Act, which legalizes a variety of anti-LGBTQ discriminatory acts in the name of religious freedom, and his incoming cabinet is already riddled with appointments who oppose LGBTQ rights.Read more on VICE.
