Am I concerned that Trump's policies will harm my "trans" daughter? Nope
Non, nein, nyet, newp, no way, no how

I am not worried for trans people now that Trump is in office. On this issue, I would be more concerned for my daughter if Kamala Harris had won the election. And here’s why….
Trump’s policies do not threaten trans-identified people. They do not “deny their existence”. Trump administration policies are not impinging on their civil rights. But his policies are not affirming trans-identified people in the delusion that they actually are the opposite sex, or that, if they take enough drugs and have enough surgery, they can change their sex. And, with the release of the HHS Comprehensive Review of Medical Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria his administration can point to the science behind all this. Or rather, lack thereof.
But if Vice President Harris had won, my family, and others in the same predicament, could have had four more years of delusional thinking. Four more years of the media and the establishment (government, schools, hospitals, etc.) enshrining gender ideology in everything they do. Four more years of them affirming my daughter, which means four more years of her on T. What’s even more galling is that this is the party of “follow the science” when it comes to climate change. But also the party of “suppress anything that doesn’t conform to our platform” when it comes to sex and gender.

Also, with Trump in office, there’s a slim chance this bill, banning the use of Medicaid, CHIP, and Affordable Care Act funds for ALL gender-transition procedures, will pass. Doubtful that could ever happen in a Harris administration.
So, am I more concerned for my trans-identified daughter now that Trump is in office, with his “anti-trans” agenda? Nope. I am more hopeful than ever that those in authority will no longer confirm her harmful delusional and that she might become more in touch with reality.
