Now, Strangio and the ACLU are #suing the #Trump over his #ExecutiveOrders banning #GenderAffirming care for #TransYouth and restricting legal recognition for trans, #intersex, and #nonbinary people. These actions threaten #healthcare access, prevent passport updates, and force trans people into #unsafe #detention facilities.

“We’re prepared to fight for our rights. President Trump will see you in court.”
