NC LGBTQ group, therapist reacts to President Trump executive order that removes their protections [Video]

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — One of President Trump’s first actions in office is directed toward the LGBTQ+ community. The Trump administration is rolling back protections and it will impact millions of people.

“It’s causing a lot of confusion and anxiety,” said Eliazar Posada, executive director of Equality North Carolina.

One executive order declares that the government will only recognize a person’s gender assigned at birth. This means some people will see changes on their passports. Under the Biden administration, they were able to mark ‘X’ as their gender marker. They will now have to identify with the gender they were born.

“This is just a day in. We already see several executive orders impacting our community,” said Posada.

According to Posada, the LGBTQ community is wondering how these executive orders will impact their everyday lives.
