President Joe Biden released a video Thursday proclaiming one of the best ways parents can keep transgender children “safe and healthy” is to affirm their “child’s identity.”
“To parents of transgender children, affirming your child’s identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe and healthy,” Biden said in an official White House video.
The president released the brief proclamation to commemorate the Transgender Day of Visibility and to recognize what the White House called the “resilience, strength, and joy of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people.”
