‘Transgender’ Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration

The government is trying to change the definition of sex to their own meaning while trying to make the world think transgenders don’t exist or have a right. In this article, the New York Times writes on how Donald Trump and the Health and Human service are trying to change the views of transgenders. After reading this article it helped me see that people not only still think being who you wanna be or being comfortable is wrong, but they want to make you seem like you don’t even exist. I thought that people would continue to be hateful and homophobic. To think that people hate other people who don’t feel comfortable in their own body and wanna change so they can feel comfortable is sad. I feel as if it is also sad that you want to belittle them so much to the point that you want to make them feel as if they don’t exist and to think that they don’t exist.

Before reading about how Donald Trump wants to make it legal on what sex you are based on genes and what you were born with, I just thought he was a man who violated women and wanted America to be great again by failing. This article made me realize that he was that plus more. It didn’t really surprise me that he would want to make transgenders “disappear”, considering he had no respect for women and is a racist. Adding homophobic to the list is just an “I saw that coming” type of thing. What I do know about Donald Trump and the Health and Human Service is they don’t really care about how other people feel or how it affects them on the inside and out. I now understand that we or I cant rely and on my country or my president or my government to help MY PEOPLE. I know that they would fight against MY COMMUNITY rather than help us and make us feel safe.

This really relates to people everywhere in the world. A lot of people are homophobic or transphobic. Some are at your school, your job, or even in your family. Most are either out and open about how they really hate gays or transgender or just the LGBTQ+ community in general and some have the decency to keep it to their selves. It doesn’t matter wherever you go someone is going to be there to hate on them, but even though it starts off in small places it gets worse. When your president is saying its okay to openly hate them and to make them feel like they don’t belong on this earth is really sad.
