I strongly advise you to get this into your mind and then to try and drill it into the minds of everyone you know. Do not comply in advance. These hateful authoritarian lunatics are incompetent and stupid. They are relying on you treating them with respect and compliance to achieve anything
TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
Trump White House's first trans executive order is out. I'll be reading over it here and going through line by line to help you make sense of it.

Trans kids, instead of being offered the puberty blockers they need, are being referred to mental health support for the harm this is causing. Yet mental health support systems are “beyond broken” already.

Piling additional unnecessary harm on top of the unnecessary harm the blocker ban is causing
Mental health support systems, in general, are beyond broken.
With young people, we need and immediate shift to "needs led support", over "diagnosis led", but we also need support to be available in the first place. That takes more investment and better training.

The UK continues to quietly force trans adults to detransition. It was never about trans youth. Doctors in the UK are withdrawing hormones without warning and cutting tags people off even after decades of being on HRT.

The puberty blocker ban will be extended, likely before the end of the week and it won't be extended by months but by years. They've met with trans kids. They've met with parents. They've met with trans groups. They haven't listened. They don't care.

🚨 Rivkah Brown of Novara reports that Wes Streeting likely to make the UK ban on puberty blockers permanent, imminently.

A permanent ban of this kind legally requires consultation. The consultation concluded in November, but it seems likely Streeting had already made his decision before then.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

The ideals of the genders Cis-woman and Cis-man are objectively the most artificial genders of all.

At least catgirls are based in something naturally occurring.
