Sorry. I didn't see I had a typo in the link I gave you until about 15 minutes later. The link is good now.
Okay. So basically Trump didn't say anything like that himself, they are discussing the lessening of 'protections' for trans people which I am not at all opposed to. I don't like the idea of paying for elective surgeries with tax dollars, I don't like how in Canada you can go to jail for misgendering someone, I don't want the USA to become like that.
This is fear mongering to spin up anti-Trump sentiment. How many people are actually trans? If someone misgenders a person does it actually harm them, and finally if they can't get free surgery that they'll likely come to regret does it cause real harm? The suicide rate among trans people is something like 40% if I remember correctly? Surgery ain't the issue. It should be called exactly what it is: part of the mental health crises.
