In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has enacted a series of executive orders that significantly reshape transgender rights in the United States, sparking debate among lawmakers and advocates across the country. 

From restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors to moving to ban transgender military workers — what do these changes mean for civil rights, health care, and the LGBTQ+ community? 

MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests will break down the policies and talk about their legal and social implications.
