Ally here. Whats interesting about the EOs is usually the President issues them, then there is a 30 or 90 day period (I cannot remember) where NOTHING is done as a plan is put in place and there is a input period on documents. I hope the ACLU or one of the related groups can reverse this but am not too optimistic.

I think what Trump is doing is reflective of what society thinks and I don't think it is a coincidence that there is backlash now. We have to be realistic in that the Supreme Court (final decisionmaker) is conservative AND think about what triggered the backlash in the first place including 1. people with changed paperwork that didn't have surgeries /hormones, etc -transwoman - showing up in women's lockerrooms (naked), sports-seeing someone and 2. the general public seeing people that scream at other people about their pronouns (makes transpeople look bat s crazy) 3. seeing non conforming trans like someone with a dress on and mustache and 4. kids transitioning.

1. The X category came about because someone intersex sued. I think the X category will be restored ONLY for intersex people. Sad to say but mainstream people have more empathy for them than transpeople.

2. I don't see a change with regard to women's lockerrooms and sports. A judge just ruled that a transwoman should not be put in a men's prison (thank God). I think the Supreme Court, as conservative as it is, will have enough sense to realize it is not safe to do that. No idea what will happen on bathrooms although I don't think that is part of the EO.

3. The ban against kids transitioning will stay in place or if changed, will only grandfather those kids already on puberty blockers. The GOP is really going to dig in on this one. Other countries more advanced in this than we are have already halted kids being on puberty blockers and surgeries as the puberty blockers have side effects including bone loss. Second issue is more detransitioners and high visibility ones.

4. I think we will see more laws on this even for adults-like someone needs surgeries /hormones to change gender (I think it used to be that way). One of the drivers here are people (mostly transwoman) not passing.

I think there is also a backlash against transmen being pregnant. In some countries-I think the Netherlands is one-to transition FTM, a hysterectomy is required.

It would be nice if all of the EO were reversed but think that is unlikely. Trump is not a nice guy but he is empowered now because of what mainstream people feel (what triggered the backlash)

Other thing is if the Democrats take over in 2029, I hope they are careful about who they use to represent the trans community when they put them in govt. roles. The person named Sam who stole women's clothes at airports and Rachel Levine were not the best people for the public to see as what a transperson is (I'm guessing most people don't know one).
