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.”

    It’s fine if you don’t read them. They are more for the sake of anyone else you try to do this to than they are for you anyway.

    Thanks for the tip, I’m curious if they are actually pro-trans or just another one like you, just mascarading to try to bring down the image of the trans community.

        It just seems so unlikely that you would be acting like this if you weren’t trying to give trans a bad name. If you were genuinely interested in helping the trans movement, then you would have answered my questions or ignored them if they were beyond your understanding. You wouldn’t have immediately just gone right into calling me names and wishing for my demise as soon as you heard I was cis.

            As soon as you told me that I went and asked other trans people what the proper way to refer to xx and xy people if not biological female and biological male, and they ALL emphatically agreed that it is absolutely, undeniably, the proper way to refer to them, and is in no way offensive. They even asked me where I thought babies come from if there are no females/males. Then, I sent you the link to the conversation. Guess what your response was: “TERF!!!”

            I have, and had absolutely no intention to insult anybody or call anyone by improper names or insults(you are still the only person involved that is doing this). I was simply trying to learn what the proper terminology was.

              genetic men is not a widely used term by anyone except terfs. find me a lgbtq org or style guide that suggests that terminology if you can, but you can’t. you’ll definitely find orgs that tell you not to use that term.

                Literally from the thread I gave you before. Here is a link from a trans person to a nature article that literally refers to biological sex.

                https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-020-0666-3

                At this point, I don’t know if you are oblivious to your own community or if you are intentionally trying to make trans look bad.

                    It refers to biological sex which you have been pretending is offensive. It’s not. You know it’s not. There simply is no way you are truly this oblivious.
