On Easter Sunday, President Joe Biden’s team decided to stir the pot by releasing a tweet that seemed to combine politics and religion in a provocative way. The tweet focused on Transgender Day of Visibility, with Biden’s X account declaring, “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”

This move, on the most important holy day for Christianity, appears to be an attempt to ruffle feathers and rally support for Biden’s struggling campaign. The timing of this statement is deliberate and seems designed to spark controversy over the intersection of religion and gender identity.
However, the attempt to use Easter Sunday to promote transgenderism is likely to fall flat and could even backfire. The Christian faith emphasizes forgiveness and love for one’s enemies, while also advocating for doing good in the world. This contrasts sharply with the aggressive push for transgender ideology.
In addition, many polls indicate that public support for transgenderism is on the decline, as more people, including progressives, gays, and lesbians, are becoming wary of its societal impact, violence, criminal activity, lack of logical consistency, medical harm, and threats to children, women, and men.
The tweet’s assertion that transgender individuals are “made in the image of God” has raised eyebrows, given the government’s push for secularism outside of religious institutions. This statement carries significant theological weight, and its use in a political context has sparked criticism from Christians and opponents of transgenderism.
Furthermore, the progressive push for transgender rights is alienating a significant portion of Biden’s political base, particularly swing-voting Christians and Latino Christians. The traditional Christian belief in the natural and complementary differences between men and women clashes with the transgender ideology that seeks to blur the lines between the sexes.
While the Biden administration’s messaging on Transgender Day of Visibility may mobilize progressive supporters, it also risks further dividing the electorate, particularly among swing-voting Christians. Democrats are trying to use the issue of transgender rights to galvanize their base, but it remains to be seen whether this strategy will be successful in the long run.
The Biden administration’s attempt to intertwine Christianity and transgenderism on Easter Sunday has caused a stir and could have unintended consequences. As the political and cultural debate over transgender rights continues, it remains a key issue that will shape the political landscape moving forward.
