State of play: The White House will also play host to a slew of events honoring transgender Americans. 2021 was also the deadliest year on record for trans people in America.Why it matters: Multiple states have introduced and passed anti-trans legislation, with dozens of bills targeting transgender youth. The big picture: President Biden on Wednesday declared March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility to 'recognize the resilience, strength, and joy of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people.' The Department of Health and Human Services will fly a trans pride flag in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility, becoming the first federal agency to do so, the White House announced Thursday.
