In reply to: Thanks to your post I learned something posted by vermin05

Some left leaning town board of supervisors in an affluent suburb in Virginia passed a resolution supporting Trans Visibility Day, and it generated news. As it happens, every March 31st for the last 15 years has been Trans Visibility Day. I was not outraged in the slightest. It's a progressive town, with liberal elected officials, so whatever.

But, let me ask you something...

Do you think it was smart politics in an election year for President Biden to tout the holiday and issue a proclamation declaring March 31st a day for Transgender visibility when it happens to be on Easter Sunday this year?

If you were his advisor, would you have told him to make the same announcement, or maybe leave Trans Visibility Day off the docket this year?
