   The organizers of WorldPride in Washington, D.C., may issue a warning to   
   transgender people from other countries about traveling to the capital for   
   the event as the Trump administration targets the trans community with   
   policies like the military ban on transgender servicemembers and requiring   
   passports to match a person’s sex at birth.   
      
   “It’s possible that we may actually issue a statement telling trans folks   
   internationally not to come, or if they come, they come at their own   
   risk,” Capital Pride Alliance Executive Director Ryan Bos said.   
      
   The Trump administration said it only recognizes two unchangeable sexes:   
   male and female.   
      
   “This is something that my community faces every day, is worrying whether   
   or not this space is gonna be safe for them,” Advocates for Trans Equality   
   Senior National Organizer Devon Ojeda said.   
      
   Ojeda said he and his trans friends often worry about being targeted or   
   harassed, and he understands if people decide not to attend WorldPride out   
   of safety concerns. But, he added, it's also important for the community   
   to come together.   
      
   “I also am in the mindset of always continuing to be in these spaces — to   
   say I am trans, I am visible. You’re not going to take that away from me,”   
   he said.   
      
   Already been done.  There is no such thing as transgender.
