On March 31st, 2024, millions of Americans woke up on Easter Sunday and became enraged to discover an official proclamation from the handlers of Joseph R. Biden and the White House.
That proclamation stated: “On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union – where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.”
The proclamation from our Commander in Chief’s staff did not specify any specific examples of extraordinary courage or contributions from the transgender community. This message was blasted on social media which spread like wildfire and comments flooded the internet with disgust at how they dared to implement a trans holiday on Easter Sunday.
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation.

I would like all of the Americans out there who were upset or dismayed by this message to rest easy and take a deep breath. Although this message may have been advantageously timed for a political sleight-of-hand jab aimed at Christians who celebrate the resurrection and ascension of our Lord, Jesus Christ, this timing was mostly coincidental. That’s right my friends, March 31st has officially been the Gender Dysphoria Promotional Day since 2009 which gained traction under the administration of Barrack Hussein Obama. This historic day is the brainchild of Rachel Crandell-Crocker, a psychotherapist transgender “woman” in Michigan who suffers from Tourette’s syndrome.
The question is, why are we getting so upset about one little day dedicated to transgendered persons or any persons who fall within the LGBTQ2AA+ spectrum? What’s one more little day? They have a whole month of pride celebrating their sexual activities, proclivities, lifestyles, and deviancies. What’s one more little day? Funny I should ask……According to GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), Their organization celebrates over 100 days (I stopped counting) per year specifically geared towards LGBTQ persons:

So again, what’s another day?
I’m not here to bash people who are trans or anyone in the LGBTQ community, but wouldn’t even reasonable LGBTQ people think this is a little ridiculous? A lot of people in these communities or sub-sections of this spectrum have severe mental health issues. Is hyper-focusing on their sexual malfeasance or orientation providing them with a positive long-term solution to their problems? What happened to “gay people just want the right to get married?” For the record, not many people care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms. But come on, Panromantic Pride Day? LatinX AIDS Day? Why not have a special day for people who identify as Attack Helicopters? Or why not have a day celebrating double-jointed people? Where do we as a “civilized” Western society draw the line? We should be able to help our fellow human beings and support them without hyper-sexualizing them as their only vessel of identity and need not put them up on a pedestal for all to see while lying to them calling them courageous. I wonder what would happen if the White House announced a day in June to be “Heterosexual Married Couples Day.”
The left would go total scorched earth.
Maybe at the end of the day, this is all about the money. GLAAD, a non-profit organization charged with protecting the community against ‘defamation’, reported income of over $112,000,000 between 2015-2022. And how much do you think transition surgeries cost with medications, multiple follow-up visits, and risk of additional complications?
Makes us all wonder.
