The article from OregonLive discusses the feelings of disappointment and frustration among some transgender individuals following President Joe Biden's final actions in office. Despite Biden's earlier promises to support the transgender community, his last-minute decisions, including the approval of a bill that some see as detrimental to transgender rights, have left many feeling unsupported. The article highlights the community's expectations for more robust protections and policies, contrasting them with the perceived lack of action or even setbacks in transgender rights during Biden's term. It includes reactions from transgender activists and community members who express a sense of betrayal, noting that while Biden did take some positive steps, the overall impact did not meet the community's hopes for significant legislative and societal change.
