Trans Students and Families Plan for Trump’s Second Term - Truthdig Amid fears of harassment by a Trump administration that openly ran on anti-trans policies, families are doing what they can to prepare.

The story I published last week on Chalkbeat got picked up by @truthdig.bsky.social , so here's a second chance for you to read and learn more about the hard times the trans community has been going through since the election: www.truthdig.com/articles/tra...

One thing that caught my attention as I was reporting this story is how everyone I talked to finished our call (or email exchange) by saying something like, "Thank you for writing about this."

To me, it shows how much this community still needs to be seen and listened.

Yesterday, we published this story about how trans students and their families are preparing for Trump's second term in office.

While most of the sources I interviewed expressed fear and disappointment, there was also a strong sense of community building.

It’s not just the presidential race. These elections will shape America’s education policy. While we wait to learn who the next president will be, we’re also following school choice ballot measures, local school board elections, and a vote on the meaning of a high school diploma.

In case you missed it: right after the election, we at @chalkbeat.bsky.social followed the main education issues on the ballots. Check it here
