Former reality star and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner is criticizing President Joe Biden for what she perceives as an intentional overlap between Easter Sunday and International Transgender Day of Visibility this year. Taking to social media, Jenner expressed her outrage at what she views as an affront to the Christian holiday, stating, "The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen’." Despite being a transgender individual herself, Jenner condemned the decision to spotlight the transgender community on such a significant religious day. While the Transgender Day of Visibility has been observed since 2009, the recent White House proclamation has stirred controversy, with conservatives like Jenner accusing Biden of orchestrating the connection.
As the debate continues to unfold, it is clear that the intersection of politics, religion, and LGBTQ rights will remain a contentious issue as the 2024 election cycle approaches.
