BIDEN'S STATEMENT, 'REACH YOUR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL', LEAVES MANY TRANSGENERED PEOPLE CONFUSED.

Washington, D.C. (Wokeville Gazette) — President Biden left the transgender community confused and deflated after his State of the Union Address to Congress last night.

We spoke with a representative of the Trans Wellness Center, in Los Angeles, who was scrambling to get a message out to the many trans individuals who may have been impacted by the President's obfuscated statement.

"Listen, we know President Biden isn't all there", said Candy Crush. "He says a lot of things that are unintelligible and hard to understand. But this one really left us shocked, confused, and unsure what he was trying to say".

Ms. Crush was speaking specifically to the portion of President Biden's speech, where he was encouraging Congress to pass the Equality Act and get it to his desk. In his efforts to encourage the passing of the Bill, he inadvertently made an appeal to God; which obviously left the trans community even more confused than they already are. 

"As I said last year", President Biden said in his speech. "Especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential".

It was this statement which left many trans people feeling attacked, offended, and unprotected.

"To hear the President bring God into the mix was disappointing", said Ms. Crush. "And then on top of it to suggest that our ability can only extend as far as God would allow it was not only offensive but also racist, sexist, transphobic, and hateful. Trans people have been battling the idea of God's authority for as long as we've been around and we certainly were not expecting a President—who markets himself as an ally to trans-rights—to make such an insensitive statement on such an important stage".

We asked Ms. Crush what if she sees any path towards unity and forgiveness for the President and his administration, after Tuesday's ill-made remarks.

"Well, first we'd appreciate a formal apology. Then, we'd love to see him pull back his recent nomination for the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson , so he can nominate a person from the trans-community instead.

It's unlikely that the Biden White House will pull back his nomination for the Supreme Court, but the trans-community has made it clear that they have but the President on notice, and he is now in their debt.

"If President Biden and the Democrats desire the continued support of the trans-community", said Ms. Crush. "They better understand that we are paying attention. We expect to see more trans people elevated to positions of prominence and power within this Administration. They owe us".
