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.”

    Which is why it’s a shame that Biden said “trans people are disgusting and we really should execute all of them, but we won’t because it’s unconstitutional”

    Oh wait, what? He didn’t say that? He made the greatest show of public support a President has ever made? Huh, curious. Anyway, let’s talk more about how bad Joe Biden is.

            You think Biden should have been vocally pro-trans thirty years ago? He would have been laughed out of office, if not physically attacked.

                Sanders’ LGBT policy platform was a joke in 2020 compared to everyone else’s, even Bloomberg’s. He’s moved backwards in that area which is kinda distressing.

                  But obviously you’re aware that since you’ve completely changed the goalposts, that doesn’t matter, and your original point was wrong.

                    He proves my original point. Trying to achieve victory without compromise results in defeat. Bernie couldn’t get enough mainstream support. Biden is likewise limited by what the mainstream is willing to support.
