In commemoration of the upcoming Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), President Joe Biden issued a statement praising trans peopleās contributions to society and describing actions his administration has taken to counter transphobic bullying and extremism. Additionally, many members of Bidenās Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) also issued their own statements affirming that community health depends on supporting trans people too.
āTransgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation,ā Biden wrote in his statement. āWhether 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.ā
Just cause weāre not there yet doesnt mean weāre not heading there
So itās not in action. Itās just attempted. Or being planned for.
Youāre not wrong but we should still use the correct language so that when we actually get somewhere nasty, the language isnāt diminished beyond the point of usefulness.
