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

ā€œTransgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation,ā€ Biden wrote in his statement. ā€œWhether 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.ā€

      But obviously youā€™re aware that since youā€™ve completely changed the goalposts, that doesnā€™t matter, and your original point was wrong.

        He proves my original point. Trying to achieve victory without compromise results in defeat. Bernie couldnā€™t get enough mainstream support. Biden is likewise limited by what the mainstream is willing to support.
