Trump is unleashing anti-trans hysteria onto the world | Moira Donegan

LZ Granderson : Transgender actor Hunter Schafer , who is trans, has been issued a passport with the gender marker “male” He says it's an exercise in cruelty that the Trump administration has declared that official documents, like passports, will no longer reflect these basic realities of trans people’s lives.

LZ: Every trans person who is issued a wrong document is coerced into this lie, too deference to these policies.

Anti-trans hysteria should be understood as a function of the Trump administration’s epistemic violence, says Moira Donegan .

It is as much of a lie that Hunter Schafer is a man as it is that Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

There is a moral case to be made for resistance to these orders, but there is also an intellectual one.
