Just yesterday Trump and his administration announced that they may end legal recognition of transgender Americans. This change could take away the gender identity of over 1.4 million Americans. In order for this to be done there would have to be a genetic test that could match a person's gender with whichever sex they were assigned at birth. The United States seemed to be making progress in making america feel equal to all under the Obama administration but under the administration of trump it seems we are moving backwards.
It is already difficult for trans men and trans women to find affordable healthcare as insurance does not cover these operations, but also healthcare for trans people is not even available in every state. Taking away the gender identity of trans people will only make it harder for american citizens to accept everyone for who they are.
