Democrats and media claim that such legislation attacks or targets transgender people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn\u00a0onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation has been introduced and passed in States across the country, targeting transgender children and their parents and interfering with their access to health care,\u201d Biden continued. \u201cThese unconscionable attacks have left countless LGBTQI+ families in fear and pain. \u00a0All of this compounded has been especially difficult on LGBTQI+ youth, 45\u00a0percent of whom seriously considered attempting suicide in the last year \u2014 a devastating reality that our Nation must work\u00a0urgently to address.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden called for Americans to remind the LGBTQI+ community \u201cthat they are loved and cherished\u201d during the month of June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Administration sees you for who you are \u2014 deserving of dignity, respect, and support,\u201d he said, before referencing controversial State of the Union remarks he made to \u201cyounger transgender Americans,\u201d saying, \u201cI will always have your back as your President so that you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday and every day, my Administration stands with\u00a0every LGBTQI+ American in the ongoing struggle against intolerance, discrimination, and injustice,\u201d he said. \u201cWe condemn the dangerous State laws and bills that target LGBTQI+ youth. And\u00a0we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping LGBTQI+ people in America and around the world live free from violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president also called for Congress to pass the radical Equality Act and thereby \u201censhrine long overdue\u201d protections for LGBTQ people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis month, we honor the resilience of LGBTQI+ people, who are fighting to live authentically and freely,\u201d he said. \u201cWe reaffirm our belief that LGBTQI+ rights are human rights. And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In late March, the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-early-trans-surgeries-hormones-are-crucial-for-kids-teens-who-identify-as-trans\">went so far as to say<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cearly\u201d transgender surgeries, hormone treatment, and affirmations are \u201ccrucial\u201d for the health of kids and teens who identify as\u00a0transgender and nonbinary.<\/p>\n<p>Gender-affirming care is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/14\/walt-heyer-lgbtq-transgender\/\">a phrase<\/a>\u00a0used by transgender activists and media to mask the more grisly sounding transgender top and bottom surgeries, including removing a biological woman\u2019s breasts, removing a biological man\u2019s genitals, sculpting a fake penis on a biological woman, facial feminization or facial masculinization, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Social affirmation, puberty blockers, and hormones also fall under the \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender-affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the healthcare system,\u201d the White House messaging said.<\/p>\n<p>Transgender surgeries, hormones, and affirmations are important, the White House claimed, because these procedures have been \u201cshown to increase positive outcomes for transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commentators, lawmakers, people\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2022\/01\/24\/transsexual-slams-planned-parenthood-aclu-womens-sports\/\">who identify as transgender<\/a>, and people who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/detransitioners-flood-social-media-with-testimony-photos-the-darkest-time-in-my-life\">formerly attempted transitions<\/a>\u00a0have expressed grave concerns about encouraging children or young people to explore transitions of any kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden proclaimed the month of June as \u201cLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex\u00a0Pride\u00a0Month\u201d in an official White House statement Tuesday, reaffirming his administration\u2019s \u201ccommitment to do more to support LGBTQI+ rights at home and abroad.\u201d \u201cToday, the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans are under relentless attack,\u201d Biden said in the White House statement. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":496,"featured_media":1498809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1498751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1498751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/496"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1498751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1498751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1498809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1498751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1498751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1498751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
