What Is ‘Transgender Awareness Day’ Actually About?

This example of shameless pandering is an ongoing indication of how radicalism continues to fester within the Democratic Party.

It’s finally springtime, which can only mean one thing. Not Easter, or Passover or Ramadan. No, March 31 is International Transgender Awareness Day, an annual day dedicated to transgender awareness.

Taking to social media, the Democratic Party announced that “Trans rights are human rights.” So “This Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the resilience of transgender and nonbinary Americans and celebrate their incredible courage,” they added.

“To our trans neighbors on this trans day of visibility: I see you, I cherish you, and I stand with you in the face of the attacks on your life and humanity,” wrote Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Even New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — whose wife presumably has less-than-tolerant views of transgender people — declared: “Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.”

First off, can we dispel the absurd notion that transgender people are somehow invisible? At the very least, in the cases of men who believe they are women, I don’t think “visibility” is a problem.

But more seriously, this example of shameless pandering to the so-called LGTBQ+ community is an ongoing indication of how the radicalism that destroyed the Biden administration continues to fester within the Democratic Party.

For Democrats, woke is far from dead.

But what makes matters worse is that woke is not only far from dead, but its life now depends on rhetorical manipulation designed to force their radicalism upon us all.

The continued attempt to paint transgender people as eternally persecuted is an act of pure fiction, all designed to confirm the desires of the radical left who see victimhood as the only currency that can be used as part of their political agenda.

In truth, the issue is not the “existence” of transgender people, or some kind of lack of awareness. No serious person denies their existence, or their right — as human beings — to “exist.” And as we’ve established, we’re all perfectly aware of transgenderism.

Instead, Democrats are hiding behind their own view of existence, which represents their demand that we all embrace the delusion that sex and gender are fluid and interchangeable.

Men cannot become women, and women cannot become men. That is a universal, biological fact. This fact doesn’t deny the existence of transgender people, or endorse or excuse horrific acts of violence against transgender people — violence which, contrary to the claims to the left, is far from the epidemic they claim.

But by deliberately blending their political viewpoint with the very existence of transgender people, Democrats hope to bypass this settled debate at the heart of transgenderism and paint anyone who dares disagree as a hateful bigot.

Sound familiar?

All while they continue to dismiss the human rights of those upon whom “transgender rights” are imposed, such as the real women who are forced to share private and intimate spaces with naked men who believe they are women.

Is it difficult to be a transgender person in modern America? Absolutely, because being transgender is inherently difficult. But this undeniable difficulty is hardly proof that society must be rewritten in order to accommodate transgenderism in every part of life, and certainly not if doing so undermines the basic rights of real women in the process.

Democrats should stop hiding behind the language of persecution and at least be honest when it comes to what they want.
