[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a republican and my perspective is go live your life.  If you are kind and welcoming most people with respond in kind.  If I accidentally misgender you please go on about your day without making it a huge issue. There are a lot of letters and moving parts to the LGBTQA+ and it is quite fluid and confusing.

Okay, so you are talking about kindness and tacitly complaining about your feelings when/if you misgender someone.

But this isn't a conversation about feelings. It's a conversation about how executive orders and legislation are being used to make the lives of transgender Americans exponentially harder or near impossible.

So far, that means:

* Ending access to gender affirming medication for even legal adults (18 year olds)
* Banning trans folks from the US military and discharging those that are currently serving
* Refusing to issue updated documents, including passports. This means that hundreds of trans folks are currently without documentation, with the numbers obviously growing by the day
* Instructing the DoJ to bar transgender individuals from facilities such as shelters for those who have experienced intimate partner violence
* Dropping all Equal Employment and Civil Rights investigations that were filed on the basis of gender identity
