Impact Points
  • The Trump administration's withdrawal of support for transgender minors in a Supreme Court case represents a significant setback for LGBTQ+ rights, potentially leading to increased discrimination against transgender youth.
  • The decision to put EPA employees working on environmental justice on leave indicates a reduction in focus on DEI initiatives within environmental policy, which could negatively impact marginalized communities disproportionately affected by environmental issues.
  • Trump's executive order banning transgender female athletes from competing in women's sports further marginalizes transgender individuals, undermining their rights and inclusion in sports.
  • The withdrawal of support for gender-affirming care for minors by the Trump administration signals a broader trend of regressive policies that threaten the health and rights of transgender youth across the country.
