President-elect Donald Trump centered attacks on transgender people during his campaign, calling gender-affirming care “left-wing gender insanity” and “child abuse.” He plans to halt federal funding for such care and only recognize two genders based on birth assignment. Providers anticipate challenges as the administration could disrupt evidence-based care. The Trevor Project saw a 700% increase in crisis calls after the election, indicating heightened fears among the LGBTQ+ community. With potential policy changes looming, providers are strategizing ways to protect trans patients’ access to care, emphasizing the need for collective resistance and perseverance against discrimination.
