The first openly transgender politician in Congress didn’t hold back in responding to Trump’s controversial executive order

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed a number of executive orders, among which the one that states that the US government will only recognize two genders – male and female.

The order defines a female as a “a person belonging, at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell,” while a male is a “person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.”

As expected, this decision caused a stir among those fighting for the rights of the members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Among them, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, Sarah McBride.

The Delaware representative spoke at the HRC Greater New York Dinner on Monday, February 3, saying that LGBTQ+ people live “rent free in the minds” of the Republican leaders who are part of Trump’s administration.

“I enter Congress at a moment of uncertainty and fear for so many in our country – a time that will test our Constitution, our progress, and our own very compassion,” McBride started her speech.

“In less than two weeks at a time of domestic and global crisis – this new administration has diverted the resources of the federal government to target transgender people.

“From day one, they have taken steps to require the forced outing of transgender people with government documents and records.”

McBride then went on to discuss specific orders and policies.

“They’re infringing on parental rights by inserting government between patients, parents and providers in order to hurt trans young people.

“They’re purging patriotic transgender service members who have met the same standards as their colleagues, who have dedicated their lives to something that is antithetical to this president – selfless public service.”

She continued: “He’s deputised Republican politicians and appointees across the federal government to be bathroom police, banning transgender people from federal restrooms they were using without incident.

“As we say then, these bans open up all women to harassment and potentially gross and invasive inspections.”

The first transgender in Congress concluded that Trump’s administration uses transgender people as pawns, and she refuses to be one.
