It’s been 365 days (and counting) since Inauguration Day. In that time, queer and trans people’s lives have been disrupted through extensive federal orders mandating the end of life-saving research, disruptions to medical care access, sinister soundbites about our mental health and viability as humans, and the reinvention of reality according to the far-right.
This multi-episode overview of key moments over the last year provide somber reminders of what we’ve already been through and rally cries for queer and trans people to lean into lessons already learned to fight back against the faulty idea that you can executive order a community out of existence.
Part one covers January 2025 - March 2025, including the earliest swarm of executive orders, the impacts on education, and personal revelations about media, journalism, and storytelling.
