“Transgender Day of Visibility” was proclaimed on Easter Sunday by US President Joe Biden.
March 31, 2009, saw the creation of the International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is observed annually on the same date.
To honor transgender individuals and bring attention to the ongoing discrimination they experience, the day was established.
The US Constitution, however, supports Biden’s pronouncement, as the White House revealed.
According to Biden: “Now, therefore, 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 proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.
“I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our nation and to work towards eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
