You might have seen the headlines—bans on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for minors, restrictions on gender-affirming care, and let’s not forget Trump’s latest nonsense that just screams, “I have no idea how human rights work.” It’s giving villain era, but like, the evil kind.

What’s Actually Happening?

United States:

• Trump’s Executive Order (2025) – The Trump administration has halted federal support for gender transitions, including HRT for minors. They’ve also mandated the removal of terms like "gender," "transgender," "LGBT," and "nonbinary" from federal documents and scientific papers.

• Trans Military Ban Reinstated – Trump’s administration has brought back the ban on transgender individuals serving in the military.

• DEI Programs Targeted – Federal agencies are now being forced to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, further marginalizing the LGBTQ+ community.

United Kingdom:

• Puberty Blockers Banned for Minors – As of December 2024, the UK government has indefinitely banned the sale and supply of puberty blockers for individuals under 18, applying to both private and NHS prescriptions. This decision was based on concerns about safety and long-term effects.

• Next Review in 2027 – The government has stated this ban will be re-evaluated in a few years, but for now, trans minors are being denied critical healthcare.

Why This Is So Dangerous

Imagine being a young trans person in a world that already makes it hard enough to exist, and now, the government is actively working against you. Taking away HRT and gender-affirming care isn’t just a political move—it’s a death sentence for many. Mental health struggles in the trans community are already at an all-time high, and these laws are only making things worse.

Also, let’s not forget the fashion side of things—because if we erase trans people, we erase some of the most innovative, creative, and ICONIC forces in the industry. From Andreja Pejić to Hunter Schafer, trans creatives have given us LIFE in fashion, film, music, and art.

What Can We Do?

• Stay Loud – Silence is not an option. Share, post, educate. If politicians can make laws based on ignorance, we can counter it with facts and visibility.

• Support Trans Creators – Follow, uplift, and invest in trans and queer designers, models, influencers, and activists. Money talks, and we need to put our coins where it counts.

• Vote Like It’s Your Job – Because honestly, it kind of is. If you have the power to vote, USE IT. The next elections (especially in the U.S.) are crucial for LGBTQ+ rights.

• Donate & Advocate – Organizations like the Trevor Project, Lambda Legal, and Trans Lifeline are out here doing the work. Let’s back them up.

Final Thoughts

Listen, fashion is all about expression, freedom, and breaking boundaries—so why are we letting outdated, out-of-touch politicians tell people they can’t be who they truly are? This fight isn’t just for trans people, it’s for all of us. Because a world without trans joy, creativity, and brilliance? That’s a world we don’t want to live in.

So let’s get to work, dolls. ✨

Okay, besties, we need to talk. And no, it’s not about the latest Chanel drop or who served at Paris Fashion Week—this is serious. Right now, all over the world (but especially in the U.S. and the U.K.), a bunch of politicians with zero fashion sense (and even less compassion) are making laws that straight-up attack the LGBTQ+ community, especially trans people.
