Secretary of State Antony Blinken joined other Biden administration officials in recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility, a day that celebrates the courage and resilience of transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming individuals worldwide. Blinken emphasized the importance of acknowledging the achievements and progress made by transgender persons in the fight for equality and human rights.
President Biden's statement marking the day was met with backlash from conservatives, who criticized the timing of the celebration coinciding with Easter Sunday. Some viewed the White House's decision as disrespectful to the Christian holiday.
