Excerpts

• on Section 1: «The Trump administration makes clear that it views transgender people as an enemy, framing their existence as an "attack" on women and institutions, much like opponents of gay marriage once framed it as an attack on the sanctity of marriage. On substance, the section makes its purpose clear: to remove transgender women from women's spaces and to end federal recognition of transgender people broadly, while entirely ignoring the existence of transgender men and focusing its fear-mongering heavily on transgender women.»
• on Section 2: «Drawing from a type of legislation spreading across heavily Republican states, often referred to as a "Women's Bill of Rights," these definitions ironically grant no new rights to women but instead aim to establish definitions of sex that effectively erase the legal existence of transgender people. Under Trump's executive order, this section defines terms like "male" and "female" in ways that could fundamentally reshape how laws, policies, and regulations are applied throughout federal agencies.»
