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’m not sure you understand what a fascist is. Look at Modi and his party in India for a contemporary example.

          You have to separate the defining traits of a fascist regime from the other traits which typically accompany them. Some of them aren’t exclusive characteristics of a fascist regime, they’re just traits of conservative regimes in general.

              What? No that’s my whole point. Fascism is a specific thing, it isn’t just any old authoritarian conservative government.

                  Well if you want to use your own definition of fascist, I suppose anything can be fascist if you want it to be.

                  A question, so I can better understand your definition – is China fascist?

                    absolutely. it’s clear the states interests supercede all other interests and that they have aligned all institutions with the interest of the state.
