As a White House lawyer during the first Trump go-round, I was awarded the “trans” portfolio in 2019, to the extent it existed. I remember one thing vividly: We maintained an Obama-era regulation that required women’s rape shelters to accommodate trans-identifying men. Why? Lots to say, but essentially, bulldozing the deep state, the media, the medical establishment, academia, and corporatism required a clearer mandate. The Trump administration wasn’t silent by any means, weighing in on the side of Connecticut runners, for example, who asserted a Title IX right to women’s sports.
Fast forward to 2024.
