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.”
Frankly, because people are stupid and can’t handle nuance. Know your audience. In a downthread conversation between a small group of people like you who acknowledge the basic strategy of voting blue no matter who in a swing state, it’s fair to discuss the nuance.
But most people on Lemmy cannot handle that level of nuance. They’re dumb and ill-informed. They need to be told to vote Dem, because if we prevaricate and say “well, if you’re in a safe state” they (and foreign agitators) will take that and run with it to try to convince ALL Democrats tp vote 3rd party.
