Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order rolling back transgender and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, reversing key measures introduced by Joe Biden.

The new order declares the federal government will recognize only two genders and bans agencies from promoting gender transitions.

Federal documents, prisons, and agencies must comply.

Trump also targeted environmental justice grants and diversity training programs.

Civil rights groups condemned the move, pledging legal challenges.

    You must have slept through the year prior to the election or been offline. This place was swamped with people who, in the name of saying Palestine was THE issue shouted continuously about ‘bLuE mAgA’ and how people need to stay away from the democratic party, which when people do that you get this as the alternative.

      in the name of saying Palestine was THE issue

      Conveniently ignoring that Trump is also worse for that whole situation.

      People were saying they weren’t willing to vote for the Democrats because they supported genocide. Say what you want about that, but it has nothing to do with trans people; literally everyone was perfectly aware they’d be worse off with a Trump victory.

        It has to do with trans people because you don’t get to pick one candidate on this topic and another on that topic. By outright rejecting the democratic candidate these same people where willing to throw every minority and marginalized group in our own country under the bus for that one ideologically pure stance.

          And it isn’t even actually ideologically pure, since the Republicans are 1000% worse on Israel and Palestine.

          Okay, and?

          The statement in the parent comment

          According to Russians ideological purists, this outcome is better for my trans son than if Kamala Harris had won.

          is false, because nobody said that. Simple as that. You can take issue with the anti-Democrat stance, but nobody tried to imply it’d result in a better environment for trans people.

            They where declared an acceptable sacrifice for purposes of making a point about Palestine. IE: if you allow democrat policies on Palestine to continue then we are willing to let the minorities here in America burn.
