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

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.”

referring to people as genetic men is offensive. using specific terms is not.

"people who have undergone a testosterone dominant puberty" would be accurate to what you're referring to. but you kept bringing up the penis which is completely irrelevant, and just a transphobic red flag

I said this ages ago and you ignored it bc you're a terf asshole

Alright, it is clear that you are not genuine. There is obviously no way anyone expects anyone else to write out that whole phrase instead of saying "genetic male". The scientific literature disagrees with you, common English language usage disagrees with you, and the trans community disagrees with you. You are by yourself. It can't be that you actually think this way.

I told you to look up a better phrase, because a trans health centered org would have the best terminology , you didn't even read my original comments you just got triggered when I called you a terf. You're a DUMB ASS

In the long run, you lose. You are a dinosaur. There is no place for your anti-trans games in a progressive future. There will always be people different from you. You can't stop that, you will be better off if you just get used to it.

do you really think you're fooling anyone? you've already won like 50 razzys. you're such a bad actor, I heard you're about to get an invite on Big Brother

At this point you sound like a broken chat bot. I honestly have no idea what you are on about. I dont know what a razzy is. I never watched that Big Brother show. All I know is it is people living in a house with a bunch of cameras or something. I don't have the faintest idea how it is relevant.

just as irrelevant as you are to humanity

I absolutely am irrelevant to humanity, just like nearly everyone. If you think this is an insult, then you are in for a rude awakening when/if you eventually grow up.
