Lucy Dacus Pledges $10K for Trans Surgeries Following Trump's Gender Policy Order

The singer-songwriter is supporting trans individuals with donations after President Trump's executive order limits federal recognition of gender diversity.

  • Lucy Dacus announced she will donate $10,000 to GoFundMe campaigns for gender-affirming surgeries in $500 increments.
  • The move comes after President Trump signed an executive order limiting federal recognition of gender to male and female assigned at birth.
  • Dacus emphasized the importance of community support, stating, 'The government will never be the source of our validation or protection.'
  • Trump's order also affects X gender markers on U.S. passports and protections for incarcerated trans individuals, drawing criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates.
  • Dacus, a member of the band boygenius, is known for her advocacy and will tour this spring to promote her new album, 'Forever Is a Feeling.'
