Today is Trans Day of Visibility, recognizing the lives of transgender people and the challenges they face. This year, trans organizers here in the Bay Area are trying to respond to a tense political climate as the Trump administration has pursued a number of policies targeting their community. The president has recently taken aim at a California law that’s meant to protect the privacy of LGBTQ kids in school. For more on that, we’re joined by Carolyn Jones. She covers education for Cal Matters.
