Congresswoman Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, was present in the Capitol Rotunda for the transition of power from former President Joe Biden to President Donald Trump. She emphasized the importance of Democrats and Republicans coming together for a peaceful transfer of power. Although Trump declared in his inauguration address that the official policy of the US government recognizes only two genders, male and female, McBride did not clap in response.
McBride highlighted that no executive or legislative action can erase the diversity in gender identity in society. She expressed concerns about potential impacts on the LGBTQ community, such as privacy issues with identity documents and federal program implications. McBride stressed that despite this policy announcement, the reality of gender diversity in society remains unchanged.
As the issue of transgender rights gains attention during the Trump Administration, McBride’s position as a transgender representative will be vital in advocating for equality and understanding. She reassured the public that she will continue to fight for the rights of all individuals, regardless of gender identity, and work towards creating a more inclusive society. Despite the challenges ahead, McBride remains dedicated to serving her constituents in Delaware and representing the interests of the LGBTQ community in Congress.
