Charlotte Clymer: "This is the first time a presidential election victory speech has specifically mentioned the word "transgender" and made a commitment to us. Joe Biden has got our back."

BTW, Biden has already said that on his first day in office he will

reinstate the Obama-Biden (Title IX) guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence administration, which will restore transgender students' access to sports, bathrooms and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity.

What's more, he's gonna crack down on everyone who doesn't think this policy is fair too:

He will direct his Department of Education to vigorously enforce and investigate violations of transgender students' civil rights.

(Note the worrying way the Dept of Ed is called "his" rather than "the")

No mention of the civil rights of any other students, and the way transgenderism tramples on them. Trans students don't just come first - they are the only ones who appear in Biden's field of vision and register on his radar. To him, female students are invisible.

What the most scary in this, is that USA are always exporting their politics and ideas to other countries, so this will mean that it will be pushed in many other countries as well. We already had their hand (maybe even Baiden actually, as they had here some corruption scandals and some questionable fundings) in funding trans lobbies here in Ukraine, and they started coming from homophobic side "make your kid straight" (and for me, as lesbian, this means society can be returned back to post-USSR age, when I was fired from jobs and beaten by classmates for being lesbian, I hope people will think more than in USA, as our language just not allows this word-play bullsh*t that English allows).

And this too, with erasure of women: https://twitter.com/AlessandraAster/status/1325524037628522497

and investigate violations of transgender students' civil rights.

They will punish girls for not wanting boys with errected penises who are "just started transitioning" in their shared school/university showers/toilets?

This. Lately, I've seen many American women getting angry with foreigners who are not thrilled with Biden's win. It's like they don't understand how influential their own country is. Biden will push the TRA agenda in many other countries besides the US.

Here is an news article where Biden says he will continue the age-long American tradition of lecturing other countries about human rights.

Edit: Also, I think several of us are puzzled about how many American women are so conviced the Democrats care about women's rights and they just don't have all the facts about the Equality Act and TRA.

I saw such post on Ovarit. They were like "Trump wasn't good for us, Baiden will be slightly better", and were ignoring that Trump was mostly bad for USA only (and, well, he was empowering China, which was bad for some regions of Asia, but that's it), while Baiden will be "a bit better" for USA, but much-much worse everywhere else. And everyone who disagreed were downvoted (I still think adding downvotes was a bad idea, as instead of people making an argument - they just putting "minus one" instead).

Edit

What I've seen (on Twitter and Ovarit) is that they are saying "Baiden at least can be reasoned, while Trump will not listen for sure".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfp7Jhd41aU . This is the only YT clip I can find right now - but it shows exactly who Biden is.

(The question is asked around ~30 seconds into the video).
