Today is Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, in 2009, some LGBTQ activist decided to start calling March 31 Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), and this year the two overlap. It’s no surprise that the radical left embraced this annual event to spotlight transgender individuals and purportedly bring attention to the alleged discrimination they face.
More often than not, it’s something people can probably ignore with some success. It’s only one day, compared to the entirety of June being designated as LGBTQ Pride Month, when corporate virtue signaling is shoved in your face a little bit more aggressively than it is on the 335 days of the year.
But its concurrence with Easter Sunday is a particular blasphemy, so it’s hard to ignore or avoid discussion about it. This was particularly so after Joe Biden, who fancies himself a Catholic, issued a proclamation on Good Friday to declare Easter Sunday TDOV, which prompted justifiable outrage.
Even if we look past the overlapping of the two days, the very notion of a TDOV is absurd.
Do transgender issues lack exposure in today's discourse? It seems whenever a biological male encroaches on spaces designated for women, the mainstream media and the Democratic Party eagerly endorse it. Transgender ideology has saturated our culture so that it’s now everywhere. It even targets children, be it in public schools or children’s programming. It gets increasingly difficult each year to protect children from this dangerous ideology. Frankly, a day free from the relentless indoctrination of transgender ideology would be more appropriate.

In fact, transgender ideology is so visible that the public grossly overestimates how many transgender-identifying people there are in this country. According to a 2022 survey by YouGov, Americans are under the impression that transgender individuals constitute 21% of the population, when in reality they represent a mere 0.6%. In fact, the public overestimates the prevalence of transgenderism by a larger factor than any other so-called "sexual orientation minorities.” Americans overestimate the prevalence of bisexual individuals by a factor of 7.25, and of gays and lesbians by a factor of 10.
When the public overestimates the presence of transgender people by a factor of 35, one thing is clear: They have too much visibility. Way too much.
Of course, proponents argue that it’s not just about visibility of transgender people, but also to raise awareness about the adversity they experience. But this is another problem with the annual event. When we look at the way society has kowtowed to this movement, putting the subjective self-identification of males who claim to be women ahead of the safety and privacy of real women and girls, it’s hard to argue that transgender people are marginalized.
As for the so-called “trans genocide” we keep hearing about, well, that’s just a conspiracy theory perpetuated by the Human Rights Campaign that’s easily disproven by the facts.

Despite its baselessness, this conspiracy theory persists with the help of the liberal media, which willingly promotes it. Why would they do such a thing when it only serves to foment hostility and distrust toward those who oppose transgender ideology? I think I answered the question already.
