HUD to change transgender rules for single-sex homeless sheltershttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hud-to-change-transgender-rules-for-single-sex-homeless-shelters/2020/06/12/d47a5744-ad03-11ea-9063-e69bd6520940_story.html
Single-sex homeless shelters could choose to accommodate only people whose biological sex matches that of those they serve, under a rule to be proposed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the coming weeks.
The proposed rule would scrap the Obama administrations 2016 guidance requiring such shelters to accept transgender people but retains its 2012 rule barring federal housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The agency had been working on the regulation since spring 2019.
...
There is a higher than average rate of homelessness among trans people.
Mostly to do with young people being thrown out by intolerant parents.
Just as an aside, I think it's actually Pence who is driving this.
Trump has no pre-2016 history of being anti-gay or anti-trans.
Just as Mussolini had nothing against Jews until a certain political alliance kicked in.

        shaking your hand. The personification of evilness.

        How come they are able to inflict so much damage without Congress ever having a say in the matter?

        In light of todays SCOTUS ruling
