Trans Americans are being targeted under a presidential administration that is hostile to their very existence. To counter this dehumanization, Rood said, trans leadership is key. Empowering trans people is an antidote to the divisions that politicians create for their own gain, she said: If more trans people run for Congress, get involved in their local school board, create art, lead scientific research or do community service, these actions create stronger community bonds that enable more people to understand what trans experiences are like.
