Dear President Trump，

I hope this letter finds you well, perhaps when you are playing golf or posting a “huge success” on Twitter. Also, I know you prefer simple things, such as white and black, good and bad, male and female. If the world works like this, it is going to be much easier for you.

Unfortunately, the world does not work as you want. A lot of things, such as history, human beings, and science, told us that gender is not a simple binary concept. But because you are a man who will struggle with basic facts, I understand that it is difficult for you to understand it. Moreover, I always hear you say “nobody respects women more than I do.” And yet, your actions suggest you do “respect” women a lot, just in a unique way.

Under your administration, LGBTQ+ and women’s rights got a serious hit.

On the first day that you were back in office, you declared, “From this day forward, the official policy of the United States government will have only two genders: male and female.” However, a lot of citizens believe your policy ignores LGBTQ+ rights and also violates the U.S. Constitution’s principle of equal protection.

Then it is time to do some research. In January 2025, you signed an order restricting access to medical care for transgender people under 19 years old. Moreover, you threatened the hospitals that provide transgender help or medicine with legal action. Thus, it bothers a lot of transgender teenagers. And what should they do? Have a dark childhood, be laughed at by others, or hate their body and themselves?

Besides, in February 2025, you require the Pentagon to identify and discharge transgender service members within 30 days, and this policy will let thousands of transgender people leave the army and lose their jobs.  Do you really think it is fair to them? They spend most of their time protecting the whole country, and their “boss” thinks they are “disgusting” because of their gender and lets them leave.

What do all these things you are doing make LGBTQ+ groups think about the leader of this country? They already feel enough discrimination, and now even the person they can trust the most is going to abandon them. How ironic.

Moreover, the domestic gag rule became a major blow to women’s reproductive health rights. You and your supporters said these policies are “protecting life.” However, I said there are countless examples of how unfair this policy is to women. It is not protecting life, it is punishing women for losing control of their bodies. You take away the sacred right to be a woman, but women don’t need the government and capitalism to tell them what to do.

In 2024 at a Wisconsin rally, your rhetoric was, “I will protect women, whether they like it or not.” Well, it is true that you did not consider women’s feelings. Hospitals and clinics can not provide and discuss anything related to abortion, if they do, they are going to lose government funding for medical stuff. This means that thousands of women will be denied reproductive freedom and health. This is not just a policy issue, but a real dilemma about the survival of women.

Imagine a young girl who is sexually assaulted by a random man, and she cannot even think of the horror of what is happening to her, and she still needs to give birth to this jerk’s child?

Then, if a woman is so financially strapped that she cannot even raise a child, does she still need to bring this child to the world? What is the benefit to her? More burnout? What is the worst quality of life for both the child and her?

Also, if a woman, whose body cannot handle the damage caused by childbirth, should she risk her life to go through that? If she loses her life in the middle of the process, what will happen to her child?

I am a sixteen year old girl who is still in high school, and I am really disappointed in you. Originally, I should have fun and be focused on my teenage life, instead of being scared and anxious about my future life. To sum up, I believe you should revise the decisions you made and put yourself in their shoes, instead of having good times with your golfers, although I know you won’t.
