Joe Biden calls trans people “fabric of our nation” in Trans Day of Visibility proclamation

www.lgbtqnation.com Joe Biden calls trans people “fabric of our nation” in Trans Day of Visibility proclamation

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.”

Anyone telling you both sides same are either a bad actor or so incredibly privelleged that they can just not care about this kind of thing.
All of the Fox News crowd are getting bent out of shape because it falls on the same day as Easter this year......can't make this up.
I am a lover of both words and deeds. This issue needs a lot of bad laws rolled back, but it also needs to have this kind of thing being said at every level of society.
If there was a Joe Biden bingo card, "fabric of our nation" would be on it.
"part of the fabric" not "the fabric"

I'm an ally, but at the end of the day let's not over conflate statements. It doesn't serve anyone a favor.

Over stating gives poor intentioned people room and also means that supporters relent.

"The fabric" should never apply to any group tbh.
attaboy, Joe.. set the example that makes this Nation great.. i'm proud i voted for you..
So generous of Biden to give Fox News something to cry 24/7 around the clock about.
Statistically incorrect but he's got the correct attitude.

EDIT: Just a bad headline, no surprise.
lol
I wish democrat politicians would stop with their propaganda on lemmy. Like it is anything new that some politician lies and pretends to care about minorities while funding the actual genocide. There classic liberal distraction tricks from more urgent issues don't work on anyone who thinks for themselves.
...fabric is a thing. Is he Calling them things!?
It's just words
Just like when he SAID he supports Human Rights in Palestine!
Hahaha what the fuck
