What the paper says

This is a transcribed interview with professors K.J. Rawson and Libby Adler, with questions from board chair Carla Kaplan, discussing the initial actions by the second Trump administration to set back transgender progress and erase all federal government recognition of trans existence. Much of the discussion focuses on Donald Trump’s executive orders from his first week in office, purporting to govern everything from military participation to passports to athletics. Professors Rawson and Adler address the concrete effects of the orders on trans people in the United States as well as the legal and political context in which the orders can be situated.
