Re: Trump ministration revokes trans health protection

Trump's move opposed

Trump ministration has been facing backlash for rolling back protection of LGBTQ+. While  Human Rights Campaign has said that it would file a lawsuit, ACLU has said it would impeach Trump rule. According to He of Health Department Roger Severi, trans-Americans will continue to be protected by or statutes that prohibit discrimination in healthcare based on race, colour, national origin, , disability, and or factors. 

However, according to LGBTQ groups, protection is needed for those who are seeking confirmation treatment, and for trans people who need treatment for common illness such as diabetes or heart problems.
