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.”

Here’s 3 examples from just a single thread that I was a part of not too long ago (I’d have more but I don’t actively save threads/comments regarding this topic so this is from a thread I could find via my replies that wasn’t deleted).
Better not acknowledge this, I might be wrong lmao

Maypull said very little in their response so, I’m sure you can add something if you try.
the first two certainly appear to be doing it, but without context, it is hard to say. the third explicitly said one is worse
The context is that it was a thread where people were debating whether people ever say that both sides are the same, which devolved into a debate over whether both sides are the same in some places. I’m not sure how saying they’re like Sarumon vs Sauron is explicitly saying one is worse in the third one, considering this was in response to a meme comparing them to Sarumon vs Gandalf. Aragorn in this comparison is their equivalent of a third party.
theses are all in the same thread? can you link it?
Well I’m trying to avoid sending anyone after the commenters en mass hence why I censored them but if you look in my comment history you can find the thread about a month back.

Hi. I see today is your first day on the Internet. Welcome!
Here is you agreeing with a comment that includes the quote “How are they different from republicans? How is biden different than trump?” just yesterday

strictly, they are asking how they are different, not stating that they are the same.

Then they should’ve just clearly pointed out their problems with Biden (Gaza) and then said that’s why they wouldn’t vote for him.
The only purpose of ever comparing the Republicans and the Democrats and implying they’re the same is to weaponize leftist hate for the Republicans against the Democrats, right before the most consequential election of the century so far.
People have absolutely been doing that, I see it constantly here.
You yourself do that, constantly. But such lies are your kind’s bread and butter.

He means trolls
I see it plenty of times from Republicans. They either love trump or are saying that both sides are equally corrupted (typically when trump does something indefensible)

Because one is orange and the other isn’t?
And no, they are not equally corrupt. But thank you for the self-report

And you still aren’t. How brave. Are you by any chance a fan of Tim Pool?
Democrats have their bad apples, but Republicans are a totally different league.
Also when a scandal happens with a Democrat their voters don’t have any qualms with disowning them, while in the same scenario Republicans will be looking for excuses like the one mentioned above.

Is this your first day on Lemmy? Have you ever been on a lefty subreddit in your life?

You’re right, @lemmywinks@discuss.online insists Trump is better

Yeah, I’m sorry. To continue this conversation would be unfair to you.
Username checks out
They are exactly the same.
(bear with me folks, I just wanna see how the troll’s algorithm handles it)
