President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order directing federal agencies to change policy and rules that make transgender people's lives harder marks the latest chapter in a long history of government-sanctioned discrimination against this group.[1]
The U.S. Department of State must now prevent transgender people from obtaining passports that align with their gender identity. Federal agencies are required to remove existing protections in shelters, schools, prisons and workplaces and to deny funding to contractors who serve transgender clients. This dramatic assertion of state power to target transgender people might seem unprecedented — but it's not.
