  "textContent": "Oscar‑winner **Patricia Arquette** has reiterated her unwavering support for the trans community, using **Elton John** ’s annual Oscars party as a platform to highlight what she described as escalating hostility towards trans people. Speaking to **NBC News** on **15 March** , Arquette said there was “a real attack on the trans community”, urging allies to stand firm and vocal in their support.\n\nArquette’s comments form part of her long‑standing advocacy for trans rights, shaped in part by the loss of her sister, the late actress and trans activist **Alexis Arquette**. In past public speeches, she has spoken openly about the enduring impact of Alexis’ death. Reflecting on her grief, she said, “I’m in mourning every day of my life.”\n\nHer advocacy has also extended to calling out systemic barriers faced by trans people, especially in the workplace. During a previous awards speech, Arquette highlighted discrimination and inequality, saying, “I’m so sad I lost my sister Alexis, and that trans people are still being persecuted.” She went on to urge industries to create meaningful opportunities for trans talent, adding, “They are human beings; let’s give them jobs.”\n\nHer renewed message at this year’s Oscars event underscores her ongoing concern about increasing political and social pressures faced by trans communities in the United States.",
