Republicans are facing backlash after sharing messaging widely seen as targeting the trans community on Transgender Day of Visibility.
A statement released via the The White House claimed Trump had ended what it described as “transgender for everybody” policies, while a post from Senate Republicans appeared to dismiss a message from Democratic Party affirming that “trans rights are human rights.”
Transgender Day of Visibility is recognised globally as a moment to uplift trans voices and experiences.
The article and post have drawn criticism online, with many pointing out that a day intended to celebrate trans lives and visibility became an opportunity for political attacks.
