The Wheelhouse

A focus on trans rights amid efforts to erase their identity


Listen Later

Some federal officials don’t want the “X” gender option printed on passports. The “T” – and other letters – were removed from websites with content addressing the LGBTQ+ community.

Since Day 1, the Trump administration has chipped away at the rights of Transgender Americans.

Today on the Wheelhouse, we examine the policies aimed towards erasure.

Plus, gender-affirming care. How anti-trans legislation impacts transgender and cisgender healthcare.

GUESTS:

  • Orion Rummler, LGBTQ+ reporter, The 19th
  • Evan Urquhart, Journalist and founder of Assigned Media
  • Ricardo Martinez, Executive Director, GLAD Law
