Kill All LGBTQIA+
If you thought the previous sections were brutal, buckle the fuck up – we're about to dive into the most nakedly vindictive aspect of Project 2025: its comprehensive blueprint for erasing LGBTQIA+ Americans from legal existence. This isn't policy – it's a declaration of war on queer Americans, with transgender people as the primary targets. It's not enough for these zealots to disagree with LGBTQIA+ rights – they want to create a government apparatus dedicated to erasing them entirely.
Start With Medical Care
"HHS should issue a rule clarifying that... 'sex' does not include sexual orientation and gender identity... and should engage in enforcement against facilities that perform 'sex-reassignment procedures.'" (p. 500)
Holy fucking shit. This isn't just denying care – it's actively punishing medical facilities that provide gender-affirming treatment. This would weaponize the government against doctors providing evidence-based, life-saving care to transgender patients. It's not healthcare policy; it's state-sponsored medical persecution.
Who gets their lives destroyed? Transgender Americans seeking basic medical care. Doctors and hospitals trying to provide ethical treatment. Parents supporting their transgender children. This wouldn't just eliminate access to gender-affirming care – it would create a climate of fear where medical professionals are afraid to treat transgender patients at all.
Why does Vought push this medical terrorism? Because the conservative movement has convinced itself that gender-affirming care is some kind of ideological conspiracy rather than established medical practice supported by every major medical association. They don't care that this care saves lives – they care that it contradicts their rigid gender ideology. It's not governance; it's religious dogma masquerading as health policy.
Block the Bathroom
"The Department of Education should issue a new Title IX rule... that acknowledges... ensuring that intimate spaces, such as bathrooms, are separated by sex." (p. 280)
Let's be crystal clear: this isn't about bathroom safety – it's about making school a living hell for transgender students. This policy would turn school administrators into bathroom police and expose transgender students to daily humiliation and harassment. It creates a problem where none exists in order to target vulnerable kids.
Who gets tormented? Transgender students already facing disproportionate rates of bullying, self-harm, and suicide. School administrators forced to become gender enforcers. And ultimately, every student whose educational experience is poisoned by this manufactured culture war.
Vought champions this cruelty because bathroom panic is the conservative movement's favorite tool for dehumanizing transgender people. They've created a fictional threat of "men in women's bathrooms" to justify policies that do nothing but cause real harm to real people. It's not about safety; it's about stigmatizing transgender youth so thoroughly that they're afraid to exist in public spaces at all.
Militarize Doctors
"HHS should... reinstate a scientific definition of sex in healthcare... sex is determined by biology." (p. 499)
Don't be fooled by the appeal to "science" – this is junk biology that ignores decades of research on sex and gender. This policy would force healthcare providers to ignore their medical training and ethical obligations in favor of rigid ideological definitions. It's not healthcare; it's political interference in the doctor-patient relationship.
Who suffers? Transgender patients whose medical records would no longer accurately reflect their identities. Intersex patients whose bodies don't fit binary definitions. And ultimately, every patient whose care would be compromised by forcing providers to prioritize ideology over medical best practices.
Vought pushes this medical malpractice because conservatives have convinced themselves that acknowledging transgender identities threatens some cosmic gender order they're desperate to preserve. They don't care about patient outcomes or medical ethics – they care about enforcing their narrow worldview, even when it causes demonstrable harm. It's not governance; it's gender fundamentalism.
Ban LGBTQIA+ From the Military
"DOD should make clear that gender dysphoria disqualifies individuals from military service." (p. 225)
Let's translate this cold bureaucratic language: thousands of patriotic transgender service members would be kicked out of the military overnight, careers destroyed, pensions threatened, their service to country rewarded with a dishonorable discharge. This isn't military policy; it's ideological cleansing of the armed forces.
Who gets their lives wrecked? Transgender service members currently serving with distinction. Veterans who've risked their lives for a country that would retroactively reject them. Military families whose livelihoods would be destroyed by sudden discharge. This isn't about military readiness – it's about political vindictiveness.
Why does Vought champion this betrayal of service members? Because the conservative movement cares more about enforcing gender conformity than honoring military service. They don't care that transgender troops have served effectively for years – they care about purging anyone who challenges their rigid gender ideology. It's not about national security; it's about ideological purity tests.
Discriminate all LGBTQIA+ in Housing
"HUD should clarify that 'sex' discrimination... does not include sexual orientation and gender identity." (p. 524)
This seemingly technical change would have devastating real-world consequences: landlords could refuse to rent to LGBTQIA+ Americans; homeless shelters could turn away transgender people; housing assistance programs could discriminate against same-sex couples. It's not housing policy; it's a license to make LGBTQIA+ Americans homeless.
Who gets thrown onto the streets? LGBTQIA+ Americans seeking housing in communities where discrimination is common. Transgender people seeking emergency shelter. Low-income LGBTQIA+ families dependent on housing assistance. This policy wouldn't just permit discrimination – it would actively facilitate it.
Vought pushes this cruelty because the conservative movement has convinced itself that the right to discriminate is more sacred than the right to shelter. They don't care that LGBTQIA+ people – especially youth – already face disproportionate homelessness. They care about preserving the power to exclude. It's not governance; it's institutionalized hate.
Force Conversion Therapy on All LGBTQIA+
"HHS should not prohibit or discourage counseling for gender dysphoria... and protect the right to offer or obtain counseling for unwanted same-sex sexual attractions." (p. 500)
Let's rip off the euphemistic language: this is about bringing back conversion therapy – a discredited, traumatic practice that's been condemned by every major medical organization. This policy wouldn't just permit psychological torture; it would provide government protection for it. It's not healthcare; it's state-sanctioned abuse.
Who gets psychologically tortured? LGBTQIA+ youth forced into these programs by unsupportive families. Vulnerable individuals pressured to believe their identities are diseases to be cured. This practice doesn't create straight or cisgender people – it creates trauma, depression, and suicide attempts.
Why does Vought champion this debunked practice? Because the conservative movement refuses to accept that LGBTQIA+ identities are natural, healthy variations of human experience. Rather than adjust their ideology to fit reality, they want to force vulnerable people to conform to their ideology, regardless of the psychological damage inflicted. It's not healthcare; it's ideological coercion disguised as treatment.
Turn All LGBTQIA+ Into SA Pedophiles: Weaponize HHS
"HHS should issue guidance to state and local agencies... regarding potential issues of abuse and neglect regarding transgender youth treatment." (p. 500)
This is perhaps the most monstrous proposal in the entire document: using child welfare agencies to tear apart families who support their transgender children. This would redefine loving, supportive parenting as "child abuse" while criminalizing evidence-based medical care. It's not child protection; it's state-sponsored family destruction.
Who gets their families shattered? Parents who follow medical advice to support their transgender children. Transgender youth who would be taken from loving homes and placed in foster care – where they'd face heightened risks of actual abuse. And child welfare systems already stretched to the breaking point by actual cases of abuse and neglect.
Vought pushes this family destruction because conservative ideology has deemed transgender identities so threatening that even supporting a transgender child must be criminalized. They don't care that supportive families are the single greatest protection against transgender youth suicide. They care about enforcing gender conformity, even if it literally kills children. It's not governance; it's ideological extremism that sacrifices real children for abstract principles.
Destroy GAC For All Veterans
"The VA should end coverage of costly and ineffective 'sex-reassignment' procedures for veterans." (p. 648)
The cynical cruelty here is breathtaking: after transgender veterans risk their lives serving their country, these bastards want to deny them necessary medical care. The "costly and ineffective" language is a blatant lie – gender-affirming care is recognized by medical experts as both cost-effective and highly successful at improving quality of life. This isn't fiscal responsibility; it's targeted discrimination against veterans who've served honorably.
Who gets abandoned? Transgender veterans who've put their bodies on the line for their country would be denied care that civilian health plans increasingly cover. This targeted exclusion would create a two-tier system where transgender veterans receive worse care than their cisgender counterparts – solely because of who they are.
Why does Vought champion this betrayal of veterans? Because the conservative movement's hatred of transgender people outweighs even their professed reverence for military service. They don't care that these veterans served their country with distinction – they care about punishing anyone who violates their rigid gender norms. It's not governance; it's vindictiveness elevated to policy.
Destroy LGBTQIA+ Benefits From Other Countries
"The State Department should end the export of gender ideology and abortion as foreign policy priorities." (p. 373)
Translation: Let's abandon LGBTQIA+ people facing persecution around the world. This policy would silence America's voice for global human rights and abandon vulnerable communities in countries where being gay or transgender can mean imprisonment or death. It's not diplomacy; it's complicity in global persecution.
Who suffers? LGBTQIA+ people worldwide who look to America as a defender of human rights. Activists in repressive countries who depend on international pressure for protection. And America's moral standing in the world as we abandon our commitment to universal human dignity.
Vought pushes this moral abdication because the conservative movement has convinced itself that LGBTQIA+ rights are a Western invention rather than universal human rights. They don't care that this silence empowers regimes that imprison, torture, and execute LGBTQIA+ people. They care about imposing their narrow gender ideology, even if it means abandoning persecuted people to their fate. It's not foreign policy; it's ideological extremism that sacrifices real lives for abstract principles.
Remove All LGBTQIA+ Data Collection
"The Census Bureau should... eliminate questions from surveys about gender identity." (p. 103)
This seemingly technical change has devastating consequences: you can't protect people you pretend don't exist. By erasing LGBTQIA+ Americans from federal data, they're making it impossible to document discrimination, allocate resources, or design effective policies. It's not administrative streamlining; it's erasure by statistics.
Who disappears? LGBTQIA+ Americans whose needs become invisible in policy discussions. Researchers trying to document disparities in health, housing, or employment. Policymakers who lack the data needed to address LGBTQIA+ challenges. This isn't just about numbers – it's about systematically removing LGBTQIA+ Americans from the government's understanding of the population it serves.
Why does Vought champion this data blackout? Because the conservative movement has realized that factual information about LGBTQIA+ Americans contradicts their preferred narratives. They don't want data showing health disparities, discrimination, or the actual size of the LGBTQIA+ population. They want to create a statistical fiction where LGBTQIA+ people barely exist. It's not governance; it's deliberate blindness.
This section of Project 2025 reveals a movement driven not by policy considerations but by raw animosity toward LGBTQIA+ Americans – particularly transgender people. This isn't governance; it's a vendetta. Russell Vought and the Heritage Foundation aren't trying to solve problems – they're trying to solve the "problem" of LGBTQIA+ existence itself.
The comprehensive nature of this attack is breathtaking: from healthcare to housing, from schools to military service, from data collection to foreign policy, there is no aspect of government they wouldn't corrupt to erase LGBTQIA+ Americans from public life. This isn't conservatism – it's a scorched-earth campaign against millions of Americans whose only crime is being who they are.
The cruelty isn't a bug in this system – it's the feature. These policies are explicitly designed to make life so unbearable for LGBTQIA+ Americans that they're forced back into the closet or driven from public life entirely. It's social engineering through government-sponsored suffering, and it represents the complete abandonment of any pretense that conservatism stands for individual liberty or limited government.
If Project 2025 is implemented, the message to LGBTQIA+ Americans would be crystal clear: you are not equal citizens in your own country. Your healthcare is negotiable. Your housing is optional. Your military service is disposable. Your families are illegitimate. Your very existence is a problem to be solved rather than a reality to be respected.
This isn't politics as usual – it's the weaponization of government against its own citizens. And if we don't recognize it for what it is, we risk allowing a dark chapter of government-sponsored persecution to unfold in what is supposed to be a democracy where all citizens are equal under law.
