Former reality TV star Vas J Morgan, known for his time on “The Only Way is Essex,” has spoken out against the recent policy changes made by former President Donald Trump regarding gender identity. In a powerful statement, Vas expressed his support for the transgender community, stating that he stands with his trans siblings and condemns the decisions that he believes endanger people’s lives.
Following Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, he swiftly implemented changes to policies introduced by his predecessor, Joe Biden. Trump’s executive orders included reverting protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and officially recognizing only two genders – male and female – with no option for change.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Vas urged individuals with influence to show compassion and use their platforms to ensure the safety of all Americans. He called out billionaires and influencers who support policies denying the humanity of trans individuals, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding.
Highlighting the rights of transgender individuals to safety, dignity, and authenticity, Vas reiterated the need for basic human rights to be respected. He reassured his trans siblings of their validity and pledged his support, urging readers to take action against harmful rhetoric and policies that threaten lives.
During Trump’s previous term, he imposed a ban on transgender individuals from joining the military, a policy that was later repealed by President Biden, who emphasized the importance of inclusivity and diversity in the armed forces.
Vas’s statement calls for solidarity and action to protect marginalized communities in the face of discriminatory policies.
