It was one of those viral social media claims so outlandish it demands independent verification: the Biden Administration had proclaimed that Easter Sunday (the day on which billions of Christians around the world remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ) would be Trans Visibility Day.
Once the claim proved true, it was hardly surprising that Christians across the nation took deep offense. Instead of lifting up the Son of God who died for our sins, Biden called on Americans to join him in “lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people.”
Nor was it surprising that the legacy media rushed in with “fact checks” to suggest the affrontery was completely unintended, sheer coincidence. The sum of the defense outlets like CNN, Reuters, and Politico offered was that the White House’s honouring of trans visibility has a long and storied history dating all the way back to… 2021.
The notion that this was not a deliberate finger in the eye of Christians to honour, on the holiest of Christian holidays, a group whose entire purpose is undermining God’s created order of male and female is preposterous. President Biden was under no obligation to issue a proclamation on trans visibility on March 31 simply because he done so a couple times before. No president before him, including Obama, had ever recognised such a day. And certainly he had dozens of other dates on the transgender awareness calendar, including a whole week in November, he could have chosen instead.
The substance of his proclamation was even more appalling, decrying the steps that states have taken to stop the permanent damage trans activists and profiteers are wreaking on children through surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. Biden’s proclamation described the same reasonable bans that many other nations, including the UK, have now enacted when it comes to minors (and only minors) as “hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids.”
