"White House Toolkit on Transgender Equality

This toolkit highlights steps that five key agencies are taking to implement President Biden's Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation and advance equity and justice for transgender individuals. It shares best practices for advancing inclusion, opportunity, and safety for transgender Americans, and provides Federal resources for transgender individuals who believe they have faced discrimination."

Best hopes for our young brother.
