How would the proposed Trump administration gender guidelines affect LGBTQ Americans? (Sarah McBride)

On Saturday, the New York Times revealed a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) memo on a proposed Trump administration plan to  redefine the way the federal government recognizes gender. By reclassifying a person’s sex based solely on the genitalia they were born with in the federal civil rights law called Title IX, HHS could restrict access to civil rights protections in schools, health care and other social services. On this week’s TrumpWatch, Sarah McBride, national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, the largest civil rights organization for lesbian, gay,  bisexual, transgender and queer people in the US, explains what this change in federal policy would mean.
