The Trump administration has proposed a sweeping rollback of LGBTQ+ housing protections, including one that could force trans women into men’s shelters and strip away federal anti-discrimination safeguards.The Pink Newsby Tom Hutt-DixonApril 25. 2026The new rule from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would eliminate protections based on gender identity and sexual orientation first introduced under Barack Obama.It would instead require shelters receiving federal funding to house people based on what it defines as their “biological sex”, even in states where local laws prohibit this, as per Transitics.
Okay, how are they going to determine “biological sex?” How?
Under the new rule, providers could request ‘reasonable assurances or evidence’ of someone’s sex. It doesn’t clarify what this means.
DROP YOUR DRAWS!
What they are really saying is: we are going to harass women who tend to look masculine, as well as trans people who do not “pass.” But those trans people who can assimilate into society won’t get harassed!
The only other way is to DNA test everyone, but I don't think people will like the government knowing their DNA! But that then brings up the question of intersex people... what will the law say about someone with XXY chromosomes? Or someone with Complete AIS?
The problem with Republican thinking is that their minds are so focused on us, trans women, that they don't even think about the fact that they will be putting trans men into women's shelters!
Then we have lesbians and gays... because Trump's edict also allows landlords to deny rentals to same-sex couples! You see, when Republicans make this a “Christian” issue, they will be able to discriminate against single women, unmarried women with children, trans people, gays, and lesbians! The Fair Housing Act of 1968 listed the protected classes: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. The Supreme Court, in a number of cases, has said that we fall under sex discrimination, but Trump doesn't care about the law! He will just leave us to battle it out in court.
