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.
"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 am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military," Biden continued." I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more."
"But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own healthcare decisions, and even the right to raise your own child," he added.
