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.”

    You are going a bit too far with being proud, since he openly sidestepped congress to fund genocide in Gaza.

      if you voted for anyone else, you don’t know what it means to be proud of your vote, so your opinion doesn’t mean shit

        You should never be proud of voting for someone, they are all crooks.

              exactly… an ignorant slave, and you don’t even realize it… you don’t know what it means to be proud of your vote, so you also don’t know what it means to take responsibility for your vote… if you have no responsibility for your vote, you are a slave…

                Sorry mister educated high-class. Shame the poor slaves that are too stupid to fight for their rights. You as an educated high class society man should tell us poor slaves how we should vote for some rich morons that have only their rich pockets in interests. We, ignorant slaves, shouldn’t even be allowed to vote, if we can’t even be proud for voting for some idiot high-class fascist such as you.
