Following the president’s recognition of” Transgender Day of Visibility” this trip, Caitlyn Jenner has doubled down on her remarks about Joe Biden.
Transgender Day of Visibility has recognized the struggles transgender people experience and praised trans people around the world since 2009. Every March 31 is the global attention time. This time, the occasion coincided with Easter Sunday.
” Now, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, my whole presidency, and I have your back, according to Biden in a statement from the White House.
” Today, so, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby claim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility”.
Jenner, who came out as trans in 2015, condemned Biden’s responses. The reality star, who is a Republican, has divided the LGBTQ+ area with her comment about transgender persons, such as fighting against transgender people competing in sports and fighting “radical female philosophy” in schools.
” I am totally horrified that Joe Biden has designated Transgender Day of Visibility as the most holy day of all- a self-proclaimed devout Catholic. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is’ HE is Risen,'” Jenner wrote in a blog on X, previously Online, that received over 16 million opinions.
The article sparked reaction, with some criticizing Jenner for allegedly not knowing that Transgender Day of Visibility existed before to Biden’s charter.
” Joe Biden did n’t choose March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility, it just happened to fall on Easter this year”, X user @SVecrumba posted.
” It’s just a coincidence”, @ConservativaPol wrote.
Some dubbed Jenner a “hypocrite” for attacking a time dedicated to protecting trans rights—despite being a transgender girl herself—with one person screenshotting Jenner’s 2017 article celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility.
However, the original Olympic appears to have doubled down on her position. Jennifer also reposted customer comments on the subject along with articles from various publications covering her indignation at Biden’s declaration.
On Sunday, she shared a follow- up communication that read:” Hey there… it’s called Easter Sunday. The Christian faith’s most holy evening, which millions of people practice worldwide.
The article also went viral, receiving over 1.1 million opinions and sparking additional reaction.
It’s even a day of approval, as Jesus Christ preached and put to use.” wrote @themanumenon.
” I did not know why you keep throwing the people who supported you under the bus,” said Kelly Lepley.
Some supported the decathlete, with an X person named Walt creating:” Amen Caitlyn Jenner”.
A rep for Jenner told Newsweek by message:”‘ Backlash? Just another day being a public figure that does n’t fit the left-wing media’s narrative.
Jenner stated that she hoped to employ her platform to spread awareness about gender dysphoria and trans issues after beginning her shift in 2015.
However, the 74- season- old told Fox News host Sean Hannity in 2022 that she is” hardly a transgender activist”, adding that Florida’s therefore- called” Do n’t State Gay” law—which restricts the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms—was a” good idea”.
Jenner received criticism in May for claiming that the transgender population is “skyrocketing,” blaming the left for “indoctrination and oversaturation of the topic” in schools.
” I obviously believe trans is real—but very very very rare, not the numbers we are seeing today”, she said on X.
In response to recent gender ideology infiltrating children’s classrooms, Jenner also founded Fairness First, a non-partisan organization dedicated to “encouraging parental rights.”
