In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has enacted a series of executive orders that significantly reshape transgender rights in the United States, sparking debate among lawmakers and advocates across the country. 

From restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors to moving to ban transgender military workers — what do these changes mean for civil rights, health care, and the LGBTQ+ community? 

MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests will break down the policies and talk about their legal and social implications.

Guests:

• Dr. Kade Goepferd is the chief education officer and founder of the gender health program at Children’s Minnesota, the state’s largest pediatric hospital.   
• Jess Braverman is the legal director of Gender Justice, a Minnesota nonprofit that advocates for gender equity.
