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.”

    That’s so nice of you to say! I’m quite proud of it. It just came to me out of nowhere for this comment. By all means, use it as if it were your own.

        Look who it is! It’s my adorable little angry puppy that follows me around to various threads. Half the credit for this line goes to you and your tight little brown starfish.

            Yeah, you caught me, I’ve been learning about trans issues lately. From what I’ve gathered, you and Tucker Carlson are both trying very hard to stop trans education. Although it seems he is a bit more skilled at it than you.

                Now that I know what you are doing, I realise that this is probably the most genuine thing you’ve said in our entire conversation. I feel so played.

                Oh my. I must be an idiot. I just realized that you almost certainly are an anti-trans troll. There is no way that anyone who was pro-trans would be trying so hard to make them look so comicly awful. If you would like to have a conversation while representing your actual position, I would be open to it. For real, I know that it may be a bit intimidating, but if you spend some time trying to get to know some real live trans people, it may really change your mind.

                Sorry it took me so long. I feel like I’ve never been on the internet vefore or something. You really got me good. Well done, internet stranger, well done. I gotta hand it to you. You really had me believing you for a while. You win this round, you cheeky bastard.

                  all the time you spent writing these damn paragraphs for noone to read, you could be spending reading a book or listening to trans people

                    Well, at least now I’m a little bit better at determining when I’m talking to a bigot attempting to drum up hate against trans people by mascarading as one of the worst of them. So it’s not a total waste of time, I suppose. I guess it adds to the sweetness knowing that I’ve wasted your time as well, considering your sneaky little plan ended up not working after all.

                    Also, now I’m able to warn anyone else that you try your little trick on. All in all, I’d say it’s worth it. Although, considering how new your account is, I guess this is the part of the game where you just make a new account and try again. In hindsight, I guess I should have just let you go on thinking it was working.

                    It has also helped me to improve my English. On top of that, I’ve learned a bit about “stylometry” because I had chatgpt talk me through making a python script that uses the lemmy API(turns out its a thing) that scans lemmy comments looking for your writing style so I can hopefully determine whatever your other(and future) accounts are. Hopefully, I can squash you out before you have a chance to trick anyone else. Trans people are too special, and if you are going to try so hard to hurt them, then I will be damned if I don’t fight back to help them.

                    You adorable little Tucker Carlson wannabe, you. You had a good run.
