Laredo, Texas (KGNS) – Since January 20, President Donald Trump has signed several gender and transgender orders.
While many support the president’s actions, others, such as LGBTQ+ lawyer Tiffany Arabella Kamacho, talk.
A native of Laredo, Kamacho began his journey with the help and guidance of a close friend. “I started exploring around the age of 19 to know what exactly a transsexual person was. It wasn’t until the age of 21 that I made my full transition. I changed my legal documents very soon when I was 21 years old. When I got a job, I felt safe and accepted, my second process was to change my name legally. ”
The human rights campaign announced a national state of LGBTQ+ Americans after 550 anti-LGBTQ+ accounts were introduced in 2023. It has increased since then.
This made many in the community turn to Kamacho for advice. “Every time they ask me how I did it. You just have to accept yourself and be happy because no one else will give up your happiness for you. There is no specific term to say how the transperson should be, it’s just more than what makes you feel happy, what makes you feel inner peace, “she added.
A day after he took office, President Trump signed an enforcement order recognizing the gender of a person appointed at birth. While the orders caused support from many, others were filled with anger and disappointment.
Kamacho stood on his ground, saying, “No president or politics will make us disappear. He can make so many changes, but at the end of the day we will always be here and be fine. We can fight for the next few years, but don’t be afraid. Do not be afraid, because they are not alone, I would like to say that I am an example that if you dream it, you can achieve it and be who you are in the most extent. “
After January 20, Trump banned trans women from women sports and gender, confirming the care of young people.
This led to dozens of court cases brought in challenge Trump’s orders. Kamacho claims that she saw the community collect in response to future orders.
Noting: “Especially with what is happening right now, I have the feeling that we are approaching us in some way. To prove to the world we are here, and we will not go anywhere. With this, it will make us more congenital to ourselves, to show people who we are. Some of us are teachers, there are many of us in every way. We will grow, be always together and exist. No one will make us exist. ”
According to the US Union for Civil Freedoms (ACLU), nearly a dozen people have filed a federal case, challenging the refusal of the State Department to issue passports with accurate sex marks.
