I think Biden might calm the trans issue. When trump banned trans people from the military it became 'cool' and anti establishment to be trans and if you said anything against it you were seen as Conservative or 'one of the bad guys'. I'm hoping taking away trump will make it easier to have grown up conversations about it.

Trump never banned trans people from the military. People with ongoing medical and psychological problems were barred from joining. A lot of trans fall into that category.

This, he banned everyone with medical problems, and transes were just part of the ban, he was not specifically banning trans people like trans lobby was screaming in news outlets.

I've been reading political news all over this election, and even I did not catch that... up until your comment I still thought it was a ban specifically for Trans people.

This should show us all how incredibly thouroughly that our news media has been misinforming us all,

Lies that works the best and have biggest impact and results - is cherry-picked truth, with only partially showing actual facts.
