Introduction to the case
President Donald Trump has put several policies in place that have undermined and targeted transgender people, which has affected their human rights. Donald Trump’s actions undermined the progress that the previous administrations had made. So, in what ways and with what policies has Donald Trump undermined transgender human rights?”
The Ban on Transgender Individuals in the Military
One of the policies that President Donald Trump put in place that affects the human rights of transgender people is banning them from serving in the U.S. military. In July 2017, Trump announced via Twitter that the military would no longer “accept or allow” transgender people to serve, citing supposed disruptions and costs. This decision overturned the Obama administration’s 2016 policy, which allowed transgender individuals to openly serve and access necessary medical care when they needed it. In April 2019, the ban took effect, and it affected so many transgender people who wanted to enlist in the military and those who were already on active duty. So many people condemned the policy as being discriminatory and harmful to national security, considering that they are willing to serve but not allowed to simply because of their gender identity.
Rolling Back Workplace Protections
Transgender people have suffered discrimination based on their gender identity in their workplace because of President Trump’s policies. This was caused by the administration’s reinterpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Obama administration had previously extended Title VII protections to include discrimination based on gender identity, ensuring that transgender individuals were safeguarded from workplace discrimination. In 2017, however, Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) reversed this interpretation, arguing that Title VII did not protect transgender workers. This reversal shocked people.
Attacks on Health Care Protection
One thing that transgender people can agree on is that they do not have as much access to health care protection under Trump’s administration as they did in previous administrations. A rule was put in place that rolled back protections under the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Section 1557. Healthcare providers now have permission to deny healthcare to transgender people. This discrimination is disheartening because it has left transgender people vulnerable. They do not have as much access to gender-affirming surgeries, hormone therapies, and even basic medical services, which are bad.
Blocking Asylum for Transgender and LGBTQ+ Migrants
For transgender and LGBTQ+ people seeking asylum in the United States, Trump’s administration has affected it. Usually, these people flee their home country because of the violence and discrimination they go through. But now the United States is not any better for these transgender migrants. The grounds for people to be eligible for asylum have also been narrowed, which makes it harder for LGBTQ+ individuals to claim protection based on gender identity or sexual orientation. There have been several reports that transgender people are placed in facilities that are inconsistent with their gender in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers; some have been denied gender-affirming care, which leaves these people vulnerable to harm.
Judicial Appointments and Long-Term Impacts
Another way that President Trump, during his administration, has violated the human rights of transgender people is by appointing judges who are conservative when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues. During his first presidential administration, he appointed over 200 federal judges, including three Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, who are conservatives and one begins to wonder what the future holds this time around.
Conclusion
When it comes to the human rights of transgender people, Donald Trump’s administration affected it. It has also added greatly to the discrimination and exclusion of transgender people in society. However, transgender activists, allies, and organizations have been resilient as they have kept the fight for equality for transgender people alive. We hope that things will get better and proper changes will be made.
