House Democrats push Transgender Day of Remembrance in wake of GOP bathroom ban

House Democrats are honoring transgender people “lost to horrific violence” and the “strength and resilience” of the community in a new resolution introduced Wednesday, one of the first policy responses to GOP proposals to ban an incoming transgender lawmaker from using female bathrooms in the Capitol.

Though Transgender Day of Remembrance is already a national observance honored every year on Nov. 20, the resolution is the first piece of legislation dropped by House Democrats after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a bill this week targeting Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first transgender member of Congress.

“As anti-transgender rhetoric and legislation has increased in the United States over recent years, unfortunately so has anti-transgender violence,” Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who also serves as co-chairwoman of the Congressional Equality Caucus’s Transgender Equality Task Force, said in a statement.

“Too many transgender people have been killed just for living as their true, authentic selves,” Jayapal continued. “These instances, coupled with countless other acts of discrimination, are terrifying — but we won’t waver. I will never back down from fighting to ensure that all trans individuals can exist freely without fear of hate.”

what about all the innocent non transgenders who have suffered horrific violence and lost their lives at the hands of transgenders in a series of mass shootings? Do those victims get a national day of mourning? Wouldn’t it be great if Trump declared one?

House Democrats are honoring transgender people “lost to horrific violence” ...

Do their theatrics include trans people lost to violence by other trans people? Do their theatrics include normal people lost to violence by trans people, e.g. the children at that Christian school in Nashville, TN?

Is it just me or does this seem odd coming from Jayapal? Doesn't her religion frown on LBTGQetc.?

Rep. McBride is a groomer. Big surprise. Is he a pedophile, too?

Kindergarteners.
 For over a decade, adult trans activists have insisted on propagandizing little children. At first, very few noticed or pushed back: those of us who did were censored, doxxed, and defamed as "bigots." The chickens are finally coming home to roost.

See the "Welcoming Schools" banner behind McBride? That's a program sponsored by the cash-rich Human Rights Campaign. See this ⬇️lengthy 2022 thread about their goals--one of which is to promote "social transition" of young children behind parents' backs.

We need a new Federal Holiday ... Plunger Appreciation Day ... and a new monument ... to honor those plungers that sacrifice themselves to unclog our toilets ... regardless of gender identity.

The Party of Slavery in the 19th Century became the Party of Statism in the 20th, and having failed in its prior missions, has now morphed in the 21st Century into the Party of Pan-sexual Pedophilic Freaks.

Bravo, Democrats.

Let them hang their banner on transgenders.  They are a very small subset of America which means unless you give them power, they have none.
