Trump’s disgusting transgender military ban uncovered the deep-seeded disdain for the trans and gender non-conforming community from both key political actors and everyday peoples, but such a discriminatory action is NOT the most pressing issue for trans folks when it comes to US foreign policy. Transgender people have to worry about state and community led acts of aggression, housing and healthcare discrimination, wrongful arrests and persecution, and so much more. Tell Biden to stand for a trans-inclusionary, feminist framework in foreign policy NOT one crafted by and for military contractors.
As transgender people, and LGBTQ+ people more broadly, face violence both directly and indirectly by US-supported powers – transgender folks are left with little safe, secure, and stable options to thrive let alone survive across the globe. Tell Biden to keep his promise and to prioritize the rights and safety of transgender and gender non-conforming people globally!
Win Without War firmly believes in supporting the work of transgender persons doing grassroots mobilization efforts globally, whether that be raising awareness to pressing crises or providing a safe shelter for LGBTQ+ people at risk, so we humbly ask that you donate all you can to the following international and foreign trans-led and oriented organizations.
(Colombia) Fundación Grupo de Acción y Apoyo a personas Trans – GAAT
