00:00Right after Trump was elected, I made appointments to get both my state ID and birth certificate changed to have an ex-gender marker.

00:07I live in constant fearful anticipation of whether I will be able to receive life-saving gender-affirming care,

00:13but knowing my legal existence had just been erased took a massive toll on me.

00:18Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

00:21It's been a lot. I feel like I'm going to something every week or...

00:27since Trump has gone into office, I've basically been propelled into action.

00:31What do we see? They're bending the knee.

00:35We are strong! Are we strong?

00:39We are strong!

00:41One, two, three, we want justice for Trump's people!

00:50All of my legal documents have an X on it,

00:56which kind of counteracts Trump's statement on his first day in office

01:00that the government only now recognizes male and female.

01:02So my existence is sort of the contradiction to Trump's statement.

01:07Each one has devastating effects for the country, but also singular people.

01:28And that's something that we just need to combat because everybody has a personal story

01:33on how the Trump administration is targeting and affecting them.

01:37And for me, it's my fundamental rights.

01:40And that's a very hard.

01:42What do you think you're going to respond to every time that people come out?

01:45I think, honestly, a lot of the...

01:48She made a statement that's sort of...

01:51New York's amazing, I think.

01:52There's just this community of New Yorkers and, like I mentioned earlier, like new states.

01:57So many colleges I'm looking at, that state will not allow me to have healthcare.

02:02And if I go off campus, I will not be able to use the bathroom that corresponds with my gender identity.

02:08So sadly, the current laws against trans people are a factor in my college decisions

02:13because depending on the state, I won't have rights.

02:17It seems like a lawless land.

02:19And as much as we can fight to try to protect and reinstate the law,

02:23we don't know what's going to happen, so all we can do is keep fighting

02:26and honestly hope that at some point our voices not only get heard,

02:31but respected and listened to.

02:33And we need to keep coming out in numbers because that's seemingly the only thing we can do.

02:38And I know it's stupid for me to be complaining about a bad grade on a math test, but I'm a child...
