My entire Administration is committed to ensuring that transgender people enjoy the freedom and equality that are promised to everyone in America. Studies have shown that these political attacks are damaging to the mental health and well-being of transgender youth, putting children and their families at greater risk of bullying and discrimination. Efforts to criminalize supportive medical care for transgender kids, to ban transgender children from playing sports, and to outlaw discussing LGBTQI+ people in schools undermine their humanity and corrode our Nation’s values. In the past year, hundreds of anti-transgender bills in States were proposed across America, most of them targeting transgender kids. We must honor their lives with action by advancing equity and civil rights for all transgender people. Each of them deserved freedom, justice, and joy. Transgender women and girls - especially transgender women and girls of color - continue to face epidemic levels of violence, and 2021 marked the deadliest year on record for transgender Americans. Like never before, they are sharing their stories in books and magazines breaking glass ceilings of representation on television and movie screens enlisting - once again - to serve proudly and openly in our military getting elected and making policy at every level of government and running businesses, curing diseases, and serving our communities in countless other ways.ĭespite this progress, transgender Americans continue to face discrimination, harassment, and barriers to opportunity. Visibility matters, and so many transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming Americans are thriving. We acknowledge the adversity and discrimination that the transgender community continues to face across our Nation and around the world. We celebrate the activism and determination that have fueled the fight for transgender equality. On this day and every day, we recognize the resilience, strength, and joy of transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people. The First Lady, the Vice President, the Second Gentleman, and my entire Administration see you for who you are - made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support. To everyone celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility, I want you to know that your President sees you.
