What Carmen Carrera Hopes Our Next President Can Do for Trans Rights
“I’d like to live in a country where I feel safe. Being in the entertainment industry, I do have some privileges, but when I’m off sets and in the real world, I’m a trans individual whose rights and safety have been taken away. I feel concerned. I don’t feel protected. There’s nothing on paper that’s protecting me from something bad. There aren’t laws to hold people accountable for any negative action taken toward trans individuals for being trans, from not getting a job to hate crimes to not being accepted into schools.”
