In commemoration of the upcoming Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), President Joe Biden issued a statement praising trans people’s contributions to society and describing actions his administration has taken to counter transphobic bullying and extremism. Additionally, many members of Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) also issued their own statements affirming that community health depends on supporting trans people too.
“Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation,” Biden wrote in his statement. “Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves.”

Edit: also, it’s a common enough occurrence that the dictionary added “Bothsidesing” as a word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/bothsidesing-bothsidesism-new-words-were-watching
bothesidesing is not necessarily saying they are the same. i don’t recall ever seeing someone actually say both sides are the same.
Your in-/ability to recall information is not evidence.
In fact, why don’t you prove to us that you can’t recall information. Please.
you can’t prove a negative, but only one counter example would undermine my disbelief.
counter example has been provided, you just don’t want to accept counter-evidence

but neither of those links **do** say both sides are the same
Does being as stupid as you are hurt?
I hope it hurts.
Your original statement is a negative that “must be proven”. What is the purpose of your insistence in this discussion?
i saw someone spreading what i thought was misinformation and i called it out (with just as much evidence as they have, mind you).
seems to me they are not saying they are the same, but that they are both doing bad things.
ah, you weren’t being genuine
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
no one is saying both sides are the same.
I can’t even imagine pretending to be this stupid lol
this can’t be proven
I made a good point, you just don’t like it
spamming your (irrelevant) links is not the mark of genuine engagement.
pot meet kettle
“If you have evidence, show me!”
“No, not like that!!!”
