In light of President Donald Trump's executive action declaring that there are only two genders, Congress' first openly transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride reacts.

Trump announced his anti-trans order on his first day in office. Specifically, the order defines a female as a “a person belonging, at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell,” while a male is a “person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.”

The first openly trans member of Congress reflects on how her experience with love and loss taught her to pursue change from a place of compassion.
