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.”

    I think the people we’d need to convince aren’t going to be swayed by the terminology. You need to get the middle rightfully angry, and what we learned from Vietnam is that you need to show them examples of the atrocities.

      Don’t bother feeding into this whoreticulture account, they are pretending to be trans and then acting awful to try to get people to wrongfully think badly of trans people. I’m working on making a script that automatically warns people about their account.
