Caitlyn Jenner, known for her vocal beliefs, recently expressed her discontent with President Joe Biden. Let’s delve into what happened that upset her so much.
Jenner took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to address her grievances against the current President of the United States. Her frustration stemmed from what she perceived as a coordinated effort by Biden to merge a Christian holiday with a day celebrating transgender people. Jenner made sure to mention Biden in her post.
In her post, Jenner wrote, “I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days – a self-proclaimed devout Catholic – as Transgender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen’.”
As a transgender person herself, it may seem surprising that Jenner takes such a stance. However, she remains deeply perturbed by the matter.
But here’s the catch—her facts are not entirely accurate. The Transgender Day of Visibility has been observed since 2009 when Barack Obama was in office. It appears that Jenner may be confused by a recent White House proclamation, which made it seem like Biden initiated this day.
The proclamation, signed by President Biden, formally states, “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Although the wording of the proclamation might imply that Biden instigated the day, that is not the case. Although the tradition has been around since 2009, the Biden administration has brought it more into the spotlight.
In the end, this situation appears to be a case of misunderstanding, leading to a surge of anger. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments and share this piece to encourage a conversation.
