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€

      A large portion of the United States now believes the 2020 election was stolen, and thatā€™s all due to words. Words have impact.

        What I meant was that they are always lies. They donā€™t represent reality in any way. Biden doesnā€™t care about Trans people no more then Trump believes elections were stolen. They just say those lies to get people to support them and then they hurt those same people when they get what they want.
