Kentucky Army Reserve officer stands by viral Trans Day of Visibility video despite right-wing backlash

Capt. Christina Winters told The Advocate that risking her career to stand up for what is right, in the face of the current administration’s

Christina Winters at The Advocate:

A transgender Army Reserve officer in Kentucky is speaking out after appearing in uniform in a viral Trans Day of Visibility video. In an exclusive interview with The Advocate, she explains why she was willing to risk her military career to call attention to injustice at a time when the Trump administration is trying to kick out trans military service members. Capt. Christina Winters, a public affairs officer who has served over 16 years across multiple combat and strategic deployments, posted the video to TikTok on March 31. In it, she delivers a message of encouragement to fellow trans Americans while condemning what she calls the Trump administration’s efforts to erase transgender people from society. “My name is Christina Winters, and I’m a captain in the Army Reserve,” she says in the video. “I want you to know that you are seen, you are loved, you’re appreciated… Now, the current administration wants us to not be visible. They want us to be invisible. They want to remove us from society… We will not be erased. We are here, and we are here to stay.” The video, which only has about 1200 views on Winters’ TikTok account and included a disclaimer that it did not represent the views of the Army, drew immediate backlash from anti-trans commentators and Republican lawmakers. Libs of TikTok, the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist account with more than 4.3 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) run by Chaya Raichik, targeted Winters. Libs of TikTok posted that Winters “claims that the Trump administration is trying to remove trans people from their homes and is encouraging individuals to be ‘annoyingly’ proud during Trans Day of Visibility.”
