President Biden issued a statement Wednesday to mark March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility and "recognize the resilience, strength, and joy of transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people."

The big picture: The proclamation comes as conservative states continue to introduce and pass new anti-trans legislation, with dozens of bills targeting trans youth. 2021 was the deadliest year on record for trans people in America.

What he's saying: "To everyone celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility, I want you to know that your President sees you," Biden said. "On this day and every day, we recognize the resilience, strength, and joy of transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people."

"We celebrate the activism and determination that have fueled the fight for transgender equality," he added. "We acknowledge the adversity and discrimination that the transgender community continues to face across our Nation and around the world."

In a mere quarter of a year where we've seen and heard so much hate, I cannot express how much your words mean to me. And I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. Thank you. And let's go Joe!
