Seattle\u2019s Democratic mayor<\/a> this week proposed a city ordinance that would strengthen protections for those seeking transgender care and surgeries, while calling out the Trump administration’s “hateful, dangerous and discriminatory attacks” against the LGBTQ+ community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mayor Bruce Harrell<\/a> campaigned as a moderate before his win in 2021, pushing public safety and helping local businesses, according to The Seattle Times, although he has expressed support for transgender care previously.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harrell was elected following riots in the city after George Floyd\u2019s death and the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone<\/a> that, along with the pandemic, devastated parts of the downtown area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harrell “symbolized a shift toward the center, away from some of Seattle\u2019s further-left leaders,” The Seattle Times wrote in 2023 of Harrell\u2019s 2021 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Thursday, conservative Seattle radio host Jason Rantz called Harrell’s proposed city legislation “extreme,” but “mostly toothless” and mainly “virtue signaling” to gain favor with Seattle progressives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harrell proposed the legislation after President Donald Trump signed an executive order<\/a> halting federal funding for providers of transgender healthcare for people under 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are proud of Seattle\u2019s reputation as a welcoming and inclusive city for the LGBTQ+ community and recognize their immeasurable contributions to the vibrancy and culture of our city,”\u00a0<\/strong>Harrell said in a statement this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This legislation is a tangible step to strengthen local protections and stand with our LGBTQ+ community in the face of hateful, dangerous and discriminatory attacks from the Trump administration and others, ensuring that everyone has access to essential healthcare services.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s executive orders have been met with lawsuits and are currently blocked by the courts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some hospitals across the country halted transgender care after Trump\u2019s executive orders to avoid losing funding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A judge in Seattle also blocked the orders in four states in one of the lawsuits filed by a group of Democrat-led states.<\/p>\n

Harrell added that the ordinance affirms Washington state\u2019s “Shield Law” that protects transgender people needing reproductive services and those who provide them from prosecution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harrell noted this week in a release by the city that he signed a bill in 2022 that made encroaching on reproductive or transgender care a misdemeanor offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that, as a member of Seattle\u2019s City Council before his election, he was a “vocal” supporter of access to transgender care for city employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
