From Fox News: Folk artist Lucy Dacus recently announced she is donating to individuals seeking transgender medical operations in an apparent attempt to get back at President Trump’s executive orders regarding gender and transgender individuals.
Dacus, who is one-third of the Grammy-winning all-female music group “boygenius,” told her X followers on Wednesday that she will give $500 to each person who comments on her status with a link to donate to their transitions, up to $10,000.
Dacus’ post came two days after President Trump signed an executive order, titled, “Defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.”
The EO clarifies that it is U.S. policy to recognize two sexes, male and female, and that men and women are biologically distinct, along with addressing how agencies should handle these directives.
In a post on X Wednesday morning, Dacus wrote, “If trans people wanna comment surgery gofundmes, I’m gonna give away 10k in $500 increments until it’s gone, & if other people wanna scroll through and make donations, please do. The government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves.”

In the first 48 hours, Dacus’ post has gotten over 1.1 million views, and hundreds of comments, including people posting their GoFundMe links as they beg for money to help pay for “top surgery” and gender transition procedures.

Is this a one-time thing or will she commit to paying for the lifetime of medical treatments these people will need? Serious question.
