President Donald Trump, who has made the rollback of transgender rights a central pillar of his second administration, complained Wednesday that “everything is transgender,” even as his policies continue to strip trans people of dignity and basic protections.
For a president who claims to be tired of hearing about transgender people, Trump has spent an extraordinary amount of time ensuring their lives are at the center of his political agenda. During a press conference with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin at the White House, Trump declared, “Everything is transgender. Everybody is transgender. That is all you hear about and that is why we won the election in record numbers.” He went on to say that transgender people “are hurting women very badly” before abruptly shifting the conversation to tax policy, urging Democrats to “get with” Republicans to pass new legislation.
Trump’s administration has relentlessly targeted transgender people since he returned to the White House. In one of his first executive orders, he erased federal recognition of trans identities, declaring that there are “only two sexes.” He reinstated a ban on transgender military service, cut off federal funding for gender-affirming healthcare, and directed agencies to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. These policies have left transgender Americans more vulnerable than ever, limiting access to healthcare, legal recognition, and protections against discrimination.
