The need to celebrate diversity within LGBTQIA+

New Indian Express  

Donald Trump’s recent statements about abolishing “transgender lunacy” and emphasising binary gender identities have sparked widespread concern. In 2021, the US issued its first passports with an ‘X’ gender marker—a progressive step recognising non-binary, intersex and gender-nonconforming individuals. However, Trump’s proposed policies risk undoing these advances, casting doubt on the US’s role as a champion of human rights. Policies during Trump’s previous tenure, such as a rollback of protections for transgender students and ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, already set a troubling precedent.
