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...
