San Francisco ABC News 7 features Lambda Legal CEO Kevin Jennings discussing the anti-trans executive order.

President Trump wasting no time on his first day in office, issuing dozens of executive orders with one taking aim at the transgender community. "As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States Government that there are only two genders, male and female," he said.

“We all know we have tough battles ahead. But we’ve overcome difficult odds repeatedly before... and we are ready to oppose any anti-LGBTQ+ actions this new administration takes.” – Kevin Jennings, Lambda Legal CEO

A tough road lies ahead after last night’s election. The new administration has made its stance against our community unmistakably clear, but Lambda Legal isn’t deterred.

We’ve faced uphill battles before in our 50+ year history, blocking harmful policies and securing rights that matter. We’ve been strategizing, preparing, and we’re ready to do everything in our power to protect and defend LGBTQ+ people and everyone living with HIV.

We won’t sugarcoat this – last night’s election results were incredibly detrimental to the cause of equality. There is no doubt that many of us feel scared, angry, or demoralized.

But we want you to know that we’re here for you. We’re ready to fight. And we’re not going back.

We're launching an Emergency Response Fund with an initial $1 million goal to bolster our efforts immediately: https://support.lambdalegal.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app30130a?df_id=6680&mfc_pref=T&6680.donation=form1&NONCE_TOKEN=D3311163DF16F06EEA5520010BAF90B5

Lambda Legal has been strategizing and planning for this possibility, and we will fight fiercely to hold the line. We’ve been here before.

Join us for our Post-Election Update: The Fight Ahead on Nov. 12, 3 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. CT / 12 p.m. PT where we discuss how Lambda Legal is prepared to act to safeguard the rights of our community against the hostility we must expect from the Trump-Vance administration.

We’ve got this. And we’ve got us.

📢 The Supreme Court of the United States will hear a pivotal legal challenge against a 2023 Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. The Court granted certiorari to the U.S. government petition, which intervened in the case, LW. v. Skrmetti, brought by Lambda Legal, American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Tennessee, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, on behalf of Tennessee families, and a medical provider. The case will be briefed this fall.

We are grateful that transgender youth and their families in Tennessee will now have their day in the highest court, and we will not stop fighting to ensure access to this life-saving, medically necessary care. 🏳️‍⚧️
