Joe Biden calls trans people “fabric of our nation” in Trans Day of Visibility proclamation

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.”

I know what fascism is. america is fascist. the Democrats and Republicans maintain the fascist state.

Well if you want to use your own definition of fascist, I suppose anything can be fascist if you want it to be.

A question, so I can better understand your definition -- is China fascist?

absolutely. it's clear the states interests supercede all other interests and that they have aligned all institutions with the interest of the state.

You're consistent, I'll give you that.

i take that as a high compliment, but i assure you you'll find inconsistencies if you push hard enough and in enough places.

f you want to use your own definition of fascist

I'm using Mussolini's
