BIDEN: I’m ‘Committed to Advancing Transgender Equality in the Classroom, Military, Everywhere’

President Biden published a direct message to “transgender Americans of all ages” on social media Thursday to mark “Transgender Day of Visibility” in the United States.

“To everyone celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility, I want you to know that your President sees you. Jill, Kamala, Doug, our entire administration sees you for who you are,” said Biden from the White House.

“We know it’s hard when there are those out there who don’t see you and don’t respect you,” he added. “For example, the onslaught of anti-transgender state laws attacking you and your families is simply wrong.”

“This administration is standing up for you against all these hateful bills,” concluded the Commander-in-Chief. “We’re committed to advancing transgender equality in the classroom, on the playing field, at work, in our military, everywhere.”
