Folk artist Lucy Dacus has announced her intent to donate money towards transgender medical operations in reaction to President Trump's recent executive orders targeting gender identity. She plans to contribute $500 to each individual who shares their transition fund links on her social media post, up to a total of $10,000. This initiative serves as a political protest, emphasizing her belief that validation for transgender individuals should not come from the government but rather from community and self-advocacy. The announcement follows Trump's controversial executive order reinforcing a binary view on gender.
"If trans people wanna comment surgery gofundmes, I'm gonna give away 10k in $500 increments until it's gone, & if other people wanna scroll through and make donations, please do."
"The government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves," Dacus wrote, signaling she made the offer as a political protest.
