Native trans advocates prepare for looming restrictions
Donald Trump targeted trans issues during his presidential campaign.

The incoming president promised to take aim at gender-affirming care early in his upcoming term in office, including restricting federal funds for trans medical support. That could have a major effect on such care within the Indian Health Service.

In addition, at least half of all states now ban gender affirming care for minors. A pending U.S. Supreme Court decision also will determine the future of such care in those states.

Join Native America Calling to gauge the direction for trans issues and find out how trans advocates are preparing both politically and personally for the next few years.
