Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.

Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.

Transgender Day of Visibility 2024 also occurred during Ramadan. I don't see anyone getting upset over that.

No one's saying Biden didn't sign the proclamation; he did, just as he has done so in previous years when Transgender Day of Visibility was March 31 but not on Easter. The sticking point in the discussion seems why Transgender Day of Visibility 2024 was on Easter Sunday 2024, which is pure coincidence. Biden no more controls when Transgender Day of Visibility is observed than he controls the lunar calendar that dictates when Easter Sunday is observed.

Make it land on the second Friday in August or some other equally useless time. March 31 was a dumb choice.
It should be in June since the whole month is designated pride month.

FWIW, I don't really care when they want to celebrate their holidays. But if our government wants to keep religion out then they should keep this out too...just let trans/LGBTQ+ celebrate without government fanfare.
The government doesn’t keep religion out.

I just saw Biden at the Easter Egg Roll on telly this morning. They decorate the White House for Christmas.

Amongst all the various days proclaimed for whatever, why shouldn’t the White House recognise LGBTQ+ stuff?

So what? I would wager very few people actually saw a visible transgender.

Except for maybe the most visible of transgenders, Caitlyn Jenner, who’s visibly out decrying the Transgender Day of Visibility, with absolutely zero self awareness, just pulling that ladder up out of reach.

Why?

Who cares what day it’s on?

You won’t like it regardless.

Biden is the first President ever to issue a Presidential Proclamation of the Transgender holiday.

No other President has done that and Biden started doing that in 2021.

It just so happened that Easter also fell on this Transgender holiday this year but didn't in 2021-2023.

March 2021:

President Joe Biden on Wednesday issued the first presidential proclamation recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility.

Special interest days are often moved to avoid major holidays.

Why did Biden deny doing it? He could have pulled an Obama and not proclaimed it for Easter or proclaimed it for Saturday.

Why did Biden lie? Or does he have Dementia?

"I didn't do that," Biden said in response to a question about his signing of the proclamation designating Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.

Not surprising, while Biden sometimes pretends to be the president, everyone knows that his handlers and caretakers are the ones really in charge.

Biden's official White House website and his social media has him in his own name doing an official proclamation.

This is likely dementia and not political wordsmithing. Obama never proclaimed an official trans visibility day from the WH. He made a choice or his handlers did to make it on Easter instead of the day before or not at all.
