Early on the morning of Nov. 9, Republican President-elect Donald Trump addressed supporters in New York, declaring victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton. And given who Americans just elected, we have to focus first on the women a Trump presidency will make most vulnerable: immigrant women, women of color, lesbian women, transgender women, women seeking abortions, women seeking asylum, women seeking protection from men. Many of the same women who voted for Clinton live with, work with, date and befriend men who voted for Trump. And make no mistake: A vote for Trump is a vote against women. These attacks large and small may very well ramp up now that Trump has normalized it and voters have supported him.
