The “Guaranteed Income for Trans People” (GIFT) program will aid transgender residents of San Francisco with a monthly income of $1,200.
“Our Guaranteed Income Programs allow us to help our residents when they need it most as part of our City’s economic recovery and our commitment to creating a more just city for all,” said San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
Critics say the controversial program unfairly discriminates against non-trans Americans in need and encourages people to simply identify as transgender to receive benefits. (Poll: Is CNN ‘Fake News’? VOTE)

Moreover, the entire concept of guaranteed income is destructive as individuals are disincentivized to become working members of society.
There are reportedly 97 genders to choose from in the program.
“We know that our trans communities experience much higher rates of poverty and discrimination, so this program will target support to lift individuals in this community up,” he added.
“We will keep building on programs like this to provide those in the greatest need with the financial resources and services to help them thrive,” he added.

Pau Crego, Executive Director of the San Francisco Office of Transgender Initiatives, said, “Even with our rich history of trans advocacy, we see that trans San Franciscans experience poverty at exponentially higher rates compared to the general population.”
“While in other parts of the country and the world trans people are targeted by institutions and legislators, in San Francisco, we move towards progress and justice by investing in our most vulnerable residents.”
