Did you know it was #TransDayOfVisibility? Or, did you think there were far more important matters facing the country today?
Well, prominent Democrats carved timed out of their day to post on Twitter about this important issue. This is apparently just as important as stopping the spread of COVID-19. This is just as important as our economy tanking and millions being unemployed.
Democrats remain very concerned and focused on those who want an addadictomy or chopadickoffame, as Rush would phrase it.
Is there ANYONE in America who feels like they haven’t heard or seen enough about transgender people these days? It’s is shoved in our face in media on a daily basis.
Although the news cycle lately is 24/7 coronavirus, at least we are no longer debating who should use what bathroom. There are bigger fish to fry.
And, here you go. Greetings from all your favorite Democrats.
Today and every day, @DrBiden and I are proud to stand with the trans community. We see you, we support you, and we will continue to do everything we can to ensure you are affirmed and accepted just as you are. #TransDayOfVisibility

Transgender Americans are remarkable for the resilience and joy they show each day.
It takes a great deal of courage to live openly and authentically. We see you—and we’re proud to celebrate you.
Trans rights are human rights. We will defend them as such. #TransDayOfVisibility

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility .
Continue to live your lives unapologetically and I will continue to fight alongside you. You belong.— Governor Gretchen Whitmer (@GovWhitmer) March 31, 2020
This #TransDayOfVisibility, I want all trans and non-binary people to know you are valued, you are loved, and that we will keep fighting to make sure you can live freely, safely, and openly exactly as you are.

No one deserves to live their life in fear because of who they are. But we cannot ignore the reality of how dangerous it is to be transgender in our country—especially for trans women of color. We can’t stop fighting for equality. #TransDayofVisibility

Transgender people everywhere deserve to live in dignity and security. Together, we will end hatred and bigotry towards trans Americans and build a nation based on love, justice and civil rights. #TransDayOfVisibility

On the other hand, I like the way the State of Idaho is celebrating this day. They passed a law this week to make sure actual women stay visible in women’s sports.
BREAKING:
On #TransDayOfVisibility the Governor of Idaho just signed a law barring biological male athletes from competing in women's sports
RT if all 49 other states should do the same!

Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Monday signed into law two anti-transgender bills, making Idaho the first among more than 40 states that have introduced such legislation this year to enact them.
The Republican governor approved legislation that prohibits transgender people from changing the sex listed on their birth certificates, and another that bans transgender girls and women from competing in women’s sports.
