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.”

      Why are we celebrating men with two X chromosomes when we should be celebrating a man who was born to a virgin mother? He obviously wasn’t lgbt, he just convinced a bunch of men to ditch their wives and live in a traveling commune with him and no women.

      But for real, they’re the ones whose day’s date changes.

      If their religious holiday is incompatible with recognizing marginalized and vulnerable people in our society, then it’s a fucking shit religion.
