&#8220;The Daily Show&#8221; senior correspondent Desi Lydic mocked Jesus in her defense of the White House&#8217;s decision to move forward with recognizing the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-honors-trans-day-of-visibility-on-easter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transgender Day of Visibility</a>&#8221; despite the fact that it coincided with Easter Sunday.
Lydic appeared to be arguing that because Christians believe in a triune God — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — they were essentially worshipping a being that embraced multiple identities and that was the same as embracing radical gender ideology.
Grabien founder Tom Elliott shared several clips on the subject, beginning with an MSNBC panel discussion claiming that &#8220;the Jesus [Christians] celebrate today would have been inclusive of the transgender community.&#8221;

Elliott followed with a clip of Lydic addressing the topic: &#8220;By total coincidence, Trans Visibility Day happened to fall on Easter this year. Which seemed like, I don’t know, a good fit to me. I mean, Jesus did identify as the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. Live your truth, queen!&#8221;
&#8220;Now, you wouldn&#8217;t think that Easter falling on a holiday that&#8217;s been March 31st for 15 years would be that big of a deal,&#8221; Lydic continued. &#8220;But conservatives processed this like a child meeting the Easter Bunny: by losing their f**king minds.&#8221;
A number of conservatives did criticize Biden for going ahead with Trans Visibility Day despite the fact that it fell on what is arguably the holiest day in the Christian calendar — particularly when he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-blasted-for-proclaiming-trans-people-made-in-the-image-of-god-on-easter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went out of his way</a> to post several times on X in support of the trans community while his administration only mentioned the Easter holiday in passing.

Adm. Rachel Levine, the trans-identifying assistant secretary for health in the Biden administration, mocked critics who slammed President Joe Biden for celebrating the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter.
On Sunday, as Christians worldwide celebrated Easter, Biden posted on X, &#8220;Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.&#8221;

Among others, former President Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election campaign <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/assault-on-the-christian-faith-trump-campaign-blasts-biden-declaring-easter-sunday-transgender-day-of-visibility">released a statement</a> calling the declaration an example of the Biden administration&#8217;s “years-long assault on the Christian faith.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1774147658841493617">posted</a> on X that the White House “has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ &#8230; Banning sacred truth and tradition — while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as &#8216;Transgender Day&#8217; — is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note.”
Former Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottWalker/status/1774159075451805791">said</a> on X, “This should [be] evidence to anyone who voted for Biden in 2020 because they thought he was reasonable that he is not. Biden is pandering to the radical fringe within politics. The only reason to pick Easter Sunday for this day was to stir up division with Christians. He is wrong!”
Levine subsequently mocked the critics in an interview with <a href="https://www.advocate.com/news/rachel-levine-transgender-biden-administration">The Advocate</a>, saying, “I felt that it was faux outrage. It was manufactured &#8230; It’s just that this Sunday was Easter, which is a very important holiday and very important event, and it also just happened to be the 31st.”

Levine then cited the iconic &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; films, declaring that the critics were, in reality, afraid: “You know there’s a quote from Yoda &#8230; Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.”
“This is not a social contagion phenomenon, and we’ve been around forever, hiding in the closet. So, the ability in our society now is not to be in the closet. We need to foster that and to nurture that,” Levine insisted.

Rachel Levine Mocks Critics Who Slammed Biden For Celebrating ‘Transgender Day Of Visibility’ On Easter

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed President Biden this week for saying that he did not declare this Easter Sunday as &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221;
Biden issued an official proclamation on Good Friday that declared that Sunday, March 31st —  which was also Easter Sunday — was &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221;
He further posted about it on Easter, writing on X: “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”
Biden, when pressed about the issue on Monday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-didnt-do-that-biden-says-he-did-not-declare-this-easter-sunday-as-transgender-day-of-visibility">said</a>: “I didn’t do that.”
DeSantis responded to Biden&#8217;s denial remarks during a press conference on Monday where the governor highlighted his latest victory for Floridians, which he said would save them <a href="https://www.flgov.com/2024/04/01/governor-ron-desantis-announces-450-million-for-a-second-consecutive-year-of-toll-relief-for-floridas-families/#:~:text=TALLAHASSEE%2C%20Fla.%E2%80%94Today%2C,April%202024%20to%20March%202025.">hundreds of millions</a> of dollars on toll roads.
&#8220;Wait a minute, he said that didn&#8217;t happen, he said he didn&#8217;t do that,&#8221; DeSantis exclaimed. &#8220;Which raises the question that he&#8217;s either not being honest with the public or he really didn&#8217;t know what was going on.&#8221;
&#8220;Who&#8217;s running the presidency? Is it a bunch of woke, 20-something-year-old White House staffers?&#8221; DeSantis asked. &#8220;So I don&#8217;t know who&#8217;s in charge. The fact that he&#8217;s not owning up to it — either way, it&#8217;s bad.&#8221;
DeSantis said that the holiday was important and that he spent the day with his family.
&#8220;It&#8217;s the most important, for Christians, holiday on the calendar,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And you know what Biden did, you know, I think was ridiculous, but it does raise the issue.&#8221;

'Who's Running The Presidency?': DeSantis Blasts Biden's Response To Trans Visibility Day Blowback

President Joe Biden said on Monday that he did not declare this Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility.
Biden&#8217;s claim comes after he has faced outrage from Christians for issuing a proclamation about it and posting about it on social media on Easter Sunday.

A reporter asked Biden about the matter during the White House Easter Egg Roll.
&#8220;Mr. President, what does Easter mean to you, sir?&#8221; the reporter asked. &#8220;Sir, what does Easter mean to you?&#8221;
Biden, who claims to be a &#8220;devout Catholic,&#8221; responded: &#8220;Time for forgiveness and people getting together and a little bit of love and no phoniness. Be straight with people.&#8221;
The reporter responded by highlighting criticism from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about Biden proclaiming that Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility.
&#8220;And Mr. Speaker Johnson the other day said, sir, Speaker Johnson said you betrayed the tenet of Easter by proclaiming Sunday, Easter Sunday, as Transgender Day. He called it outrageous and abhorrent,&#8221; the reporter said. &#8220;What do you say to Speaker Johnson?&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s thoroughly uninformed,&#8221; Biden claimed. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t do that.&#8221;

Amid the ensuing backlash, the White House issued a statement suggesting Biden meant that he hadn&#8217;t been the one who established the Transgender Day of Visibility or specifically chosen March 31st for its recognition this year.
&#8220;President Biden is right. He did nothing in conflict with the ‘tenets of Easter,’ which he celebrated yesterday, nor did he choose the date of March 31st for the Transgender Day of Visibility, which has been set sine 2009,&#8221; White House Spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in a statement.

‘I Didn’t Do That’: Biden Says He Did Not Declare This Easter Sunday As ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

Actor James Woods voiced his frustration on Sunday over a White House calendar that was quickly filling up with days, weeks, and even entire months dedicated to all or part of the LGBTQ community: &#8220;America now officially celebrates mental illness a full one third of the calendar year.&#8221;
Woods initially responded to President Joe Biden and his administration&#8217;s decision to go ahead with the Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, despite the fact that this year, Easter Sunday fell on the same date.
&#8220;Joseph Biden ridicules Christians on our holiest of holidays&#8230;,&#8221; Woods posted, sharing a screenshot of the White House proclamation — issued on Good Friday even as Christians were commemorating the death of Jesus on the cross — calling on all Americans to join him in &#8220;lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people&#8221; on the 31st: Easter Sunday.

Woods delivered one more follow-up after posting the list, noting that approximately one-third of the year — almost exactly four months — was filled with similar days, weeks, and full months celebrating the LGBTQ community in some form or fashion.
&#8220;America now officially celebrates mental illness a full one third of the calendar year. If leftists have their way, it&#8217;ll be every day. And slowly but surely they are getting there&#8230;,&#8221; he said.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday addressed backlash against President Joe Biden for celebrating and declaring Easter Sunday as “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-easter-sunday-transgender-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transgender Day of Visibility</a>,&#8221; dismissing the controversy as intentional &#8220;misinformation&#8221; from conservatives.
Biden and his White House not only issued the proclamation on Friday, but also issued numerous posts on social media on Easter Sunday to <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1774511985700352189" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrate</a> trans-identifying Americans. Notably, President Biden is the only president to ever recognize &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; with a presidential proclamation.
Still, Jean-Pierre contended that the controversy was actually &#8220;misinformation,&#8221; arguing that &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; just so happened to have fallen on the holy Christian day, and Biden was right to celebrate transgenderism in numerous posts and the proclamation.
&#8220;Every year for the past several years on March 31, Transgender Day of Visibility is marked,&#8221; she told the press. &#8220;Easter falls on different Sundays every year, and this year it happened to coincide with Transgender Visibility Day.&#8221;
&#8220;What we&#8217;ve been hearing out there [is] a lot of misinformation done on purpose,&#8221; she accused. &#8220;It is dishonest what we have heard the past 24 hours. It is untrue,&#8221; the press secretary claimed. 
Jean-Pierre also said Biden is a &#8220;Christian who celebrates Easter with family&#8221; and &#8220;stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American,&#8221; adding that it&#8217;s &#8220;unsurprising&#8221; politicians on the Right &#8220;are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric.&#8221;
&#8220;President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit,&#8221; Jean-Pierre said. &#8220;That is not what this administration is about. That is not what being a leader is about, and this misinformation out there [is] bad and it is dividing.&#8221;

Police said on Sunday that they believe a man with multiple assault convictions is responsible for a shooting that took place at a restaurant on Easter Sunday in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nashville" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nashville</a> that left one person dead and multiple wounded. 
Metro Nashville Police identified 46-year-old Anton Rucker as the suspect for a shooting at the Roasted Salemtown restaurant that killed 33-year-old Allen Beachem and injured seven others. According to police spokesman Don Aaron, the shooting took place after Rucker got into an argument with another man. 
“We don&#8217;t have any indication that they knew each other at this point,” Aaron said of the two in the argument. “It could be something as simple as one person invading another person&#8217;s space.”

Police Say Career Criminal Behind Easter Shooting That Left 1 Dead, 7 Injured In Nashville

Sunday was a deeply religious day for the Biden administration. They celebrated their religion: the religion of deep, insane progressivism.
Sunday was Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar. And the Biden administration decided it was necessary to put out messaging over the weekend, including on Easter Sunday, about the “Trans Day of Visibility.”
The “Trans Day of Visibility” is a day about people who are gender dysphoric or who believe they are members of the opposite sex. It was founded by a person named Rachel Crandall Crocker, a man who believes that he is a woman.
He is also a psychotherapist — because that&#8217;s the way the psychotherapy industry now works. He says he knew he was trans since the age of eight, and now the President of the United States is paying homage to people like Rachel Crandall Crocker.
So Joe Biden put out a statement on &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221; Because if there&#8217;s one thing we know about transgender people in modern America — people who believe they&#8217;re members of the opposite sex — it’s that they don&#8217;t get enough attention; they need more attention. Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>: 
<blockquote>Today we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.</blockquote>
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1937-trans-day-of-awareness-vs-easter-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
Did you know transgender people are America? Did you know when the Founders were putting together the Constitution of the United States, they said to themselves, “What will America be? Will this be a constitutional republic of limited government and guaranteed liberties? Or maybe America is a dude wearing a dress believing that he&#8217;s a lady. Maybe it&#8217;s that.”
According to Biden, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton were all sitting around working up the courage to explain that America was about the dudes who think they are ladies and vice versa.
Biden continued:
<blockquote>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 toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.</blockquote>
Gender identity is the nonsense notion that you can identify as something other than what you are.
But here was the best part from Biden: 
<blockquote>In witness whereof, I have heretofore set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the Year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.</blockquote>
My favorite part of this is when Joe Biden mentions the Year of our Lord. That would be Jesus, because in America, we keep the Christian calendar. I like the part where he mentions the Year of Our Lord at 11:00 a.m. on Easter — the holiest day in the Christian calendar — to celebrate the &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221;
The perspective of the Biden administration when it comes to holy days on the calendar goes something like this: You&#8217;re not allowed to kill terrorists during Ramadan because if you do, it will offend Muslims, but you are certainly allowed to pay homage to the completely specious, false, and irreligious notion that men can be women —  on Easter. 
President Biden <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1774511985700352189" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted:</a>
<blockquote>Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you&#8217;re worthy of respect and dignity.</blockquote>
Every person is made in the image of God; they are made male and female. And the “image of God” phrase occurs in the same verse in Genesis as God making them male and female. When Biden says, “You&#8217;re made in the image of God,” the final part of that verse is “male and female He made them.”  
The religion of this administration is not Christianity or even some sort of broader secular version of Christian values. It is wild progressivism. 
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/religious-themed-designs-banned-white-house-easter-egg-art-contest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Children of the National Guard are prohibited from submitting religious Easter egg designs for the 2024 &#8220;Celebrating National Guard Families&#8221; art event at the White House.  </blockquote>
It&#8217;s Easter and people were painting crosses on eggs. And Biden said no, none of that. The only symbols we will allow here are the Pride Progress flag flying from the giant rotunda of the White House.
<blockquote>The art contest is part of the White House’s Easter traditions, which include the annual Easter Egg Roll. The flyer for the contest states that an Easter egg design submission &#8220;must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.</blockquote>
I assume if you put trans flag colors on the Easter egg, that would be totally fine with the White House; that it would not be considered a partisan political statement, piece of questionable content or religious symbol. You just have to make sure everything is fine with the secular Left.
That is the religion of this White House.

Many people are saying this is a made-up problem because the &#8220;Trans Day of Visibility&#8221; falls on March 31 every year, and this year it just happened to fall on Easter. Let me ask you: If &#8220;Trans Day of Visibility&#8221; were to fall on, say, Juneteenth by some sort of random coincidence, do you think the White House would put both of those messages out at the same time?
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates defended Biden, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-bashes-dishonest-republican-criticism-bidens-transgender/story?id=108687647#:~:text=%22As%20a%20Christian%20who%20celebrates,a%20statement%20to%20ABC%20News." target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying:</a>
<blockquote>As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American. Sadly, it&#8217;s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.</blockquote>
Biden abuses his faith for political purposes every time he cites his Catholicism in defense of his pro-abortion position.
I do look forward to the White House&#8217;s Christmas Day statement celebrating partial birth abortion on the day Jesus was born.

As they&#8217;ve done for thousands of years, Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday. 
All over the world, the faithful gathered to celebrate the joyous news: that the Messiah died and rose from the grave, for the salvation of mankind. This is the central fact of our faith, and the reason why Easter is our most sacred holiday.
At the same time, a cult that was invented mere decades ago — and which opposes everything Christianity stands for — was holding its own observances on Sunday. In a deliberate attempt to mock the very idea of Easter, they celebrated something called the &#8220;Transgender Day Of Visibility.&#8221; Joe Biden, who claims to be a Catholic, ushered in the festivities with a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presidential proclamation</a> that can only be described as not only blasphemous, but also completely counterfactual. It&#8217;s not overstating things to say that this proclamation document underscores, once again, that the Biden administration is the single most radically anti-Christian regime in American history — and it&#8217;s not even close.
In the proclamation, Biden describes so-called &#8220;transgender Americans&#8221; as &#8220;part of the fabric of our Nation.&#8221; He accuses millions of Americans of being &#8220;hateful&#8221; for supporting laws that ban the castration, sterilization and mutilation of children, saying these Americans seek to &#8220;target and terrify transgender kids and their families.&#8221;
And he also claims that there&#8217;s an &#8220;epidemic of violence&#8221; against people identifying as transgender, without mentioning that this violence almost <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshShow/status/1727039849880830069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclusively</a> relates to domestic incidents, or prostitution and drug related crimes. He also failed to qualify this statement with the fact that trans-identified Americans are murdered at a lower rate than the general population.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1337-the-most-anti-christian-president-in-history-declares-easter-transgender-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Of course, nowhere in &#8220;devout Catholic&#8221; Joe Biden&#8217;s proclamation is there an attempt to explain how the concept of transgenderism is compatible, in any way, with Catholicism. He does not grapple with how a Christian can ascribe to modern gender theory while also accepting what we are clearly told in the first chapter of genesis: “male and female created He them.” There is no way to grapple with this. These views are diametrically opposed. One can either believe in transgenderism or Christianity, not both. Just as one can either believe in transgenderism or biology, not both. On both counts, Biden chooses transgenderism. Coming from the same alleged Catholic who pushes the mass murder of the unborn, that&#8217;s not surprising.
This decision — to issue this blasphemous proclamation on Easter — was so unbelievable, so unprecedented in modern politics, that a lot of people wondered if it was real. When I saw it on social media, I had to check the White House website myself. And I found that indeed, it was real. And precisely because it&#8217;s real — because it&#8217;s easily verifiable and so damaging to the Biden administration at the same time — so-called &#8220;fact-checkers&#8221; instinctively jumped into action to tell us not to believe our lying eyes.
There were many examples of this, so I&#8217;ll just pick one. Here&#8217;s the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/transgender-day-visibility-falls-annually-march-31-not-always-easter-2024-03-29/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> from Reuters: &#8220;Fact Check: Transgender Day of Visibility falls annually on March 31, not always at Easter.&#8221; And here&#8217;s the spin: &#8220;International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) takes place annually on March 31 to celebrate transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. It was not designed intentionally to fall on Easter Sunday as claimed by some online account. &#8230; TDOV has been celebrated on the same date, March 31, for years. The date of Easter changes each year.&#8221;
The point of &#8220;fact-checks&#8221; like this is to censor posts on social media platforms like Facebook by labeling information as misinformation. They do this not by debunking a claim, but rather by intentionally confusing the issue. We see this again and again. It&#8217;s like when PolitiFact said it was &#8220;false&#8221; to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/politifact-aoc-parking-lot-fact-check-mockery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claim</a> AOC was photographed crying in front of an empty parking lot, because in reality, it was an empty road. They know what people are reacting to. And instead of talking about that, they pick some phony misconception related to the episode, in order to rate it &#8220;false.&#8221;
The problem with this excuse, in this case, is that Joe Biden did not have to issue any proclamation recognizing the so-called &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility.&#8221; Even Barack Obama never did that, despite the fact that this holiday was invented a year after Obama took office. That is what people are responding to.
Of course, no president should recognize any &#8220;transgender day,&#8221; regardless of what date it falls on. But if you have any respect at all for the holiest day on the Christian calendar, you would at least skip the proclamation this year. That&#8217;s the point. Reuters knows that, and they dodge it on purpose. There was no need to issue this proclamation, except for the sole and express purpose of mocking Christians.
Secondly, it&#8217;s not like the Democrats just begrudgingly nodded towards Trans Day because they felt like they had to. This wasn’t a perfunctory checking of boxes. They went out of their way to celebrate the occasion. It wasn&#8217;t just some staffer in the White House who put out that proclamation with Joe Biden&#8217;s name on it — they all did it. And this went beyond the White House. Here’s Gavin Newsom&#8217;s Easter message, for example:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BREAKING: CA Governor Gavin Newsom just released a touching Easter message. 
Just kidding. 
It&#39;s for Trans Day Of Visibility. <a href="https://t.co/maKOi0OXGb">pic.twitter.com/maKOi0OXGb</a>
&mdash; End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) <a href="https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1774569413611511878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It&#8217;s not necessarily the most important point to make here, but notice how Gavin Newsom’s wife claims that trans people have made many incredible contributions to human progress but then fails to cite one single specific example. She just says they&#8217;ve done a lot of great things, and moves on. But the truth is that trans-identified people have accomplished nothing of significance in this country, or any country. All they have done is contribute to massively increased rates of depression in the last decade, by encouraging young people to castrate and mutilate themselves instead of improving their mental health. They&#8217;ve also committed several acts of terrorism. But beyond that, they&#8217;re not doing anything of significance. Even if I was interested in celebrating the achievements of trans people — even if somehow I wanted to do this on Easter, of all days — I still would not be able to partake in that celebration for the simple reason that there are no achievements to celebrate.
But politicians throughout the Democratic Party, all over the country, pretended otherwise yesterday. In New York, Kathy Hochul <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2024-03/Transgender-Day-of-Visibility_2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> her own proclamation for Transgender Day of Visibility. It states that New York &#8220;reaffirm[s] our commitment to see beyond the gender binary and create equity.&#8221; 
For his part, the HHS secretary, Xavier Becerra, put out <a href="https://x.com/SecBecerra/status/1774466699066024177?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this message</a>: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Today, I&#39;m thinking about our country’s great transgender, nonbinary, and two-spirit leaders who epitomize resilience, progress, and joy. Transgender Day of Visibility is an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments and double down on our commitment to their wellbeing. <a href="https://t.co/BehdgWJZV8">pic.twitter.com/BehdgWJZV8</a>
&mdash; Secretary Xavier Becerra (@SecBecerra) <a href="https://twitter.com/SecBecerra/status/1774466699066024177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
He also added a picture of a bunch of people without faces, because that&#8217;s what equity means. No one has a face.
First of all, like Newsom&#8217;s wife, he doesn&#8217;t mention what &#8220;accomplishments&#8221; transgender people have achieved. That&#8217;s because there are no accomplishments to mention. On top of that, like the identity of &#8220;transgender,&#8221; so-called &#8220;non-binary&#8221; and &#8220;two-spirit&#8221; are nonsense labels that mean nothing. The two-spirit thing blew up in Canada a while ago, which is why Justin Trudeau goes around referring to &#8220;2SLGBTQIA+&#8221; people. But it&#8217;s not a real thing; it was <a href="https://lgbtqhealth.ca/community/two-spirit.php">invented</a> by some woman at a gay and lesbian conference in Canada in 1990.
There are other major problems with this statement, which again, is from our HHS secretary, who oversees health in this country. The biggest one, perhaps, is that you cannot tell us that trans people will kill themselves if you misgender them and then in the next breath insist that these people &#8220;epitomize resilience and joy.” If they really are a resilient, joyful people then we don’t have to worry about what kind of language we use around them. They can handle it, with resilience and joy.
But if we do have to worry about the words we use — worry, in fact, that the wrong word might cause them to commit suicide en masse — then there may be many terms you can use to describe them but “joyful” isn’t one of them, and “resilient” even less so. As for &#8220;doubling down on our commitment to their wellbeing,&#8221; as the HHS secretary claims to want to do, the only way to accomplish that is to tell them the truth and stop catering to their delusions.
But of course, most importantly, Sunday was Easter. Xavier Becerra, like all of us, should have spent the day thinking not about trans people, but about the lordship of Jesus Christ, and the state of his own immortal soul.
The same is true of Karine Jean-Pierre, who issued a <a href="https://x.com/PressSec/status/1774203846023053330?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> about the &#8220;courage&#8221; of the trans community on Sunday. This is the same woman who claimed that &#8220;trans kids&#8221; are under attack in this country, just three days after a trans terrorist murdered men, women and children in a Christian school. 
But Karine Jean-Pierre never praised the courage of the police officers who put that trans terrorist down. She never mentioned their heroism. They do not need to be “visible,” apparently, like trans people do. They don’t have their own holiday, like the sacred Trans Day of Visibility. A holiday so apparently important, so engrained in our national tradition, that it must be officially recognized by the White House, no matter if it conflicts with Easter or not.
It could be interesting now to take a look at the person who started this fake holiday. It was invented by a man who identifies as a woman and now uses the name Rachel Crandall-Crocker. Here he is:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is the person who invented “Trans Day of Visibility.” He claims he knew since he was 8-years-old that he was trans. <a href="https://t.co/FQtsqig1D2">pic.twitter.com/FQtsqig1D2</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Trans Week of Visibility 2018 | Rachel Crandall-Crocker" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aNoWDAbM2yA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the Left&#8217;s approximation of Jesus now. This man who believes that 8-year-olds can change their gender, is who they&#8217;re choosing to valorize. He achieved the incredible feat of starting a Facebook group back in 2009, which is where Trans Day of Visibility originates. Easter began with the son of God emerging gloriously from the tomb. Trans Day of Visibility began with a guy starting a Facebook group. I guess this is what passes for a great accomplishment in the trans community.
Another irony of this whole &#8220;trans day of visibility,&#8221; of course, is that trans people are already more visible than any other group in the history of the world, when you compare their population to the amount of media coverage, et cetera, that they receive. There has never been such a vast gulf between the attention paid to a group of people and the actual size of that group. LGBT people in general are celebrated with <a href="https://x.com/jarvis_best/status/1774115482255106479?s=20">dozens</a> of special days and months, just for them. 
We’ve gone over the full list several times in the past, so I’ll spare you. But we know, of course, that they have all of &#8220;Pride Month.&#8221; That&#8217;s 30 days right there. They have the Trans Day of Visibility, the Agender Pride Day, International Pronoun Day, National Coming Out Day, Transgender Parent Day, Trans Awareness Week, Omnisexual Visibility Day, Bisexual Visibility Day, Bisexual Awareness Week, International Non-Binary Day (which is also a week, for some reason), the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, the International Lesbian Visibility Day, as well as Gay Uncle Day in August. There&#8217;s many more. In all, I counted more than 130 days on the calendar reserved to worship our LGBT deities. There might be more but I gave up counting.
Government leaders make a point of recognizing most of these days. Meanwhile, Christianity — the faith that built this country, the faith that many of the most important, most accomplished, most significant human beings in the history of humanity belonged to — only has two holidays that someone like Joe Biden will even pretend to care about. And now one of those two has been overshadowed by one of the 130 LGBT days. It&#8217;s outrageous and disgusting, but also instructive. I&#8217;ve been saying for years that &#8220;LGBT&#8221; isn&#8217;t just a collection of sexual and gender identities. It&#8217;s our new state religion. And never has that been more clear than it is today.

Annual Easter Egg Roll Held On South Lawn Of The White House

The Most Anti-Christian President In History Declares Easter ‘Transgender Day Of Visibility’

The Most Anti-Christian President In History Declares Easter 'Transgender Day Of Visibility'

Bible

Matt Walsh

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles">King Charles III</a> made a public appearance at an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/easter">Easter Sunday</a> service at Windsor Castle as he battles <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cancer">cancer</a>, while Prince William, Prince of Wales and his wife Kate Middleton stayed home.
The 75-year-old monarch arrived at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-kingdom">St. George&#8217;s Chapel</a> accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla. Charles III was photographed greeting the clergy and waving to the assembled crowd before entering the church. It was his first major public appearance since he announced his diagnosis.
The king and queen were seated away from other parishioners to minimize exposure to potential infection, per <a href="https://people.com/king-charles-leads-royals-easter-amid-cancer-treatment-8621244">People</a>. Still, the king interacted with congregation members after exiting the church, shaking hands and thanking them for well wishes. He reportedly said, &#8220;I&#8217;m doing my best!&#8221; when one person bid him to “Get well!”
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby mentioned the king in his Sunday sermon, per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/king-charles-easter-sunday-service-windsor-princess-kate-cancer-rcna145585">NBC News</a>. “In each of our lives there are moments which change us forever,” Welby said. “Sometimes it’s individual. We have watched, sympathized with and felt alongside the dignity of the king and the Princess of Wales as they have talked of their cancer — and in doing so, by their lack of selfishness, by their grace and their faith, boosted so many others.”
The monarch has not disclosed what kind of cancer he has or what stage, only revealing that he is undergoing chemotherapy treatments. Royal followers are reeling as Charles’ daughter-in-law, Kate, is also now going through treatment for cancer. 
While the king did not directly address this during a pre-recorded Maundy Thursday speech read at Worcester Cathedral, listeners believe he was referring to his family’s current health struggles.

During the speech, Charles said Jesus set an “example of how we should serve and care for each other” and how “we need and benefit greatly from those who extend the hand of friendship to us, especially in a time of need.”
The Princess of Wales shocked fans last month when she broke her silence after weeks of speculation about her condition and whereabouts. “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful,” Middleton said in a video message, confirming that cancer “was present” and that she was undergoing “preventative chemotherapy.”
Similarly, King Charles’ cancer was reportedly detected during an unrelated procedure.

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) slammed Republicans over the weekend for criticizing President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to promote transgender visibility day on Easter Sunday, claiming that not being pro-transgender was the &#8220;opposite of Christianity.&#8221;
Warnock made the remarks during a Sunday CNN interview with Dana Bash on &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; after Bash teed up the senator to attack Republicans for daring to speak out against transgender visibility day which also comes a year after a transgender terrorist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nashville-shooter-decried-crackers-and-white-privilege-leaked-manifesto-pages-reveal">murdered</a> six people at a Christian school in Nashville.
&#8220;The House Speaker called Biden&#8217;s announcement abhorrent and said he betrayed the central tenet of Easter,&#8221; Bash said. &#8220;What do you say to that?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, apparently, the speaker finds trans people abhorrent,&#8221; Warnock lashed out. &#8220;And I think he ought to think about that. The fact of the matter is, as you said, March 31 has been a day to lift up transgender people who endure violence and bigotry. Easter, the date changes every single day.&#8221;
&#8220;But this is just one more instance of folks who have — who do not know how to lead us trying to divide us. And this is the opposite of the Christian faith,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Jesus centered to marginalize. He centered the poor. And in a moment like this, we need voices, particularly voices of faith, who would use our faith not as a weapon to beat other people down, but as a bridge to bring all of us together.&#8221;

The Biden administration celebrated &#8220;Transgender Day of Visibility&#8221; on Easter Sunday after the White House faced a wave of condemnation over <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally recognizing</a> the gender identity event taking place on the same day as the religious holiday.
President Joe Biden posted to X on Sunday, saying, &#8220;On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

He added, &#8220;Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.&#8221;
The post also included a graphic that showed the logo for Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s re-election campaign over a background that incorporated the colors of the transgender flag, along with the message: &#8220;Trans rights are human rights.&#8221;
Harris posted the same image to her X account.
&#8220;On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate transgender and nonbinary Americans. Their courage has given countless others strength, but no one should have to be brave just to be themselves,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1774474268786426221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, adding, &#8220;We see you. We stand with you. We won’t stop fighting for you.&#8221;
The White House also posted about Transgender Day of Visibility on Sunday.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation.
On Transgender Day of Visibility, our Administration honors the extraordinary courage of transgender Americans and reaffirms our commitment to forming a more perfect union – where all people are treated equally. <a href="https://t.co/ElRf9l62Nk">pic.twitter.com/ElRf9l62Nk</a>

Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a <a href="https://www.state.gov/transgender-day-of-visibility-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press statement</a> saying the Transgender Day of Visibility &#8220;is a celebration of the courage and resilience of transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-confirming persons who exist in every country and culture around the world.&#8221;
He added that the &#8220;United States recognizes the achievements and progress that trans persons have made in the global struggle for equality and re-affirms its commitment to supporting the equality, inclusion, and full recognition of the human rights of transgender persons.&#8221;
The White House faced backlash after Biden issued a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proclamation</a> on Friday that announced Sunday would be the Transgender Day of Visibility. Although Biden has made the same declaration for March 31 <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/03/31/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">since 2021</a>, critics took umbrage at it falling on the same day as Easter this year.
Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s re-election campaign <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/assault-on-the-christian-faith-trump-campaign-blasts-biden-declaring-easter-sunday-transgender-day-of-visibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a statement</a> on Saturday, calling the declaration an example of the Biden administration&#8217;s &#8220;years-long assault on the Christian faith.&#8221;
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1774147658841493617" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X that the White House &#8220;has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.&#8221;
He continued, &#8220;Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as &#8216;Transgender Day&#8217; — is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note.&#8221;
Among the others to lash out at the Biden administration included former Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker.
&#8220;This should [be] evidence to anyone who voted for Biden in 2020 because they thought he was reasonable that he is not,&#8221; Walker <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottWalker/status/1774159075451805791" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;Biden is pandering to the radical fringe within politics. The only reason to pick Easter Sunday for this day was to stir up division with Christians. He is wrong!&#8221;
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said, &#8220;Biden’s re-election team can reflect on this moment when he loses in November. This was intentionally done to disrespect the Christian significance of Easter and it WILL backfire.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The White House responded to critics with a statement from spokesman Andrew Bates.
“As a Christian who celebrates Easter with Family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American,” Bates said, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4565768-white-house-responds-to-gop-criticism-as-transgender-day-of-visibility-falls-on-easter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Hill</a>.
“Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit,&#8221; he continued.
Biden also shared an Easter message on Sunday.
&#8220;Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection,&#8221; Biden said in a statement issued via the White House.
&#8220;As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people,&#8221; he added. &#8220;From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you.&#8221;

Some Democrats in Congress echoed Biden in recognizing both the Transgender Day of Visibility and Easter on Sunday.
&#8220;The transgender community is the subject of relentless prejudice and hate. Today I stand with you and proudly observe Transgender Day of Visibility – a day to recognize and celebrate the transgender community,&#8221; Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) <a href="https://twitter.com/CoryBooker/status/1774437004656234785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X.
&#8220;He has risen! I wish you and your family a blessed and joyous Easter,&#8221; Booker <a href="https://twitter.com/CoryBooker/status/1774420556546253243" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an earlier post.
