Transgender rights activists are scrambling to figure out what they should do next after Donald Trump's election.

Activists fear a second Trump presidency could infringe on their freedoms.

They're aware of the "threat" posed by the incoming president, but remain determined in their ability to affect change.

Jewish Voice for Peace: "We are preparing for an unprecedented assault on human rights here in the United States" Abortion and reproductive rights initiatives were on the ballot in 10 states this election cycle.

Organizers say they plan to hold the president-elect accountable to his promises to reject a national abortion ban or roll back access to contraception.

A4TE has urged people to make legal name changes and update gender markers on IDs and passports.

The group also offers a guide to navigating the healthcare system as people seek gender-affirming care options.

The organization's priority is to "enshrine what rights we have at this moment in time".
