In commemoration of the upcoming Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), President Joe Biden issued a statement praising trans people’s contributions to society and describing actions his administration has taken to counter transphobic bullying and extremism. Additionally, many members of Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) also issued their own statements affirming that community health depends on supporting trans people too.

“Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation,” Biden wrote in his statement. “Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves.”

    so much to unpack here, so there’s good reason not to engage further; except to point out that you’re drinking too much blue maga koolaid.

    you’re the only one to mention “both sides” while this biden voter will only blame democrats if biden loses; not other leftists.

      [Voting for the lesser evil] brought us all the social progress that you’re completely ignoring.

      Start with unpacking this, if you can.
