'Betrayed the central tenet of Easter': Reactions to Biden's Easter trans day proclamation

By Samantha Kamman, Christian Post Reporter
Trans activists and their supporters rally in support of transgenderism on the steps of New York City Hall, October 24, 2018, in New York City. The group gathered to speak out against the Trump administration's stance on there being two sexes and not innumerable genders. Last week, The New York Times reported on an unreleased administration memo that proposes a strict biological definition of sex based on biology.

Rachel Crandall-Crocker is the founder of the Transgender Day of Visibility and the executive director of the nonprofit Transgender Michigan. Crandall-Crocker came up with the idea for the day in 2009.

As National Public Radio reported Saturday, Crandall-Crock wanted a day to celebrate trans-identifying people. The psychotherapist decided the “Transgender Day of Visibility” should be in the spring, so as not to conflict with pride month in June or the “Transgender Day of Remembrance” in November. 

In a Monday statement to ABC News, the founder of the “Transgender Day of Visibility” expressed hope that the controversy surrounding the White House’s recent declaration will provide the trans movement with more publicity.

"I actually think that up until yesterday there were a lot of people that had never heard of visibility day," Crandall-Crocker said.
