BREAKING: Trump is proposing a rule allowing federally funded homeless shelters to turn away trans and gender non-conforming people — in the midst of the highest unemployment rates our country has seen in decades.
Ben Carson, where exactly should Black and Brown trans women — who face extraordinarily high rates of unemployment and homelessness at any time, let alone during an economic crisis — go after being turned away from shelters?
 
Shelters funded by taxpayers should be open to ALL.
In a week where 3 Black trans women have been murdered, the federal government is pushing more people into the street.
 
This is a dangerous proposal that will embolden violence against transgender people.
