June 13, 2024In the second installment of the ACLU’s election 2024 memo series, our experts detail the threats a potential second Trump administration poses to the LGBTQ community, particularly transgender people.
This piece was published before Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to represent the Democratic Party. No significant facts have been changed or added.
Donald Trump’s administration initiated a sustained, years-long effort to erase protections for LGBTQ people. This included an effort to “define ‘transgender’ out of existence,” erode protections for transgender students and workers, and weaken access to gender-affirming health care that most transgender people already struggled to access.
While President Joe Biden’s administration reversed much of the Trump-era abuses, just last month on the campaign mark, Trump vowed to dismantle a new Biden administration policy that will provide prote
Trump on LGBTQ Rights
Conclusion
Across the country in recent years, transgender people and their families include been targeted by a relentless assault on their rights, their safety, and their fundamental freedom to be themselves. States acquire adopted laws criminalizing their health care, attempting to ban them from widespread life, and even threatening to remove transgender youth from families that adore and affirm them. Throughout this political onslaught, the ACLU, our nationwide affiliate network, and our millions of members have remained stalwart in defense of the basic principle that all people deserve the freedom to be themselves and every state should be a safe place to raise every family.
Donald Trump’s promises to seize these discriminatory policies nationwide should be unthinkable, but it is nonetheless a future we’re prepared for. Transgender people are no strangers to government persecution, political slander, or the criminalization of gender nonconformity. They know how to build safety, community, and care among one another, and the ACLU has a century-long history of representing, supporting, and advocating for the powerless, the silenced, the m
Background On Trump Day One Executive Orders Impacting The LGBTQ+ Community
by Brandon Wolf •
Overview
On his first daytime in office as the 47th president of the Joined States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ people, as well as many others. It is important to write down that executive deeds do NOT acquire the authority to override the Merged States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives complete just that or are regarding matters over which the president does not have control. Given that, many of these orders will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement, and endeavors to do so will be challenged through litigation.
Currently, much is unknown about whether or how the administration or other actors will comply with these directives, and in most instances rules will need to be promulgated or significant administrative guidance will need to be issued in order for implementation to occur. These are processes that take time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has used his first six months in office to enact multiple policies impacting the lives of LGBTQ+ Americans in areas prefer healthcare, legal recognition and education.
On July 17, the government ended the nation's specialised mental health services for Queer youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White Home describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace fundamental gender ideology".
The administration also filed a lawsuit against California this month over state policies that allow transgender female athletes to challenge in girls' categories of school sports.
But rights groups are fighting back. Nine LGBTQ+ and HIV-related organisations have had more than $6 million in funding restored following a lawsuit against three of Trump's executive orders.
