Biden appeals to base as he digs into transgender culture war

As the White House rolled out a full slate of events for Transgender Day of Visibility on the same week that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, both sides appear to be digging in for the latest hot-button culture war.

The Biden administration held four separate events for the day of visibility, while the Department of Health and Human Services flew a transgender pride flag outside its headquarters. Leaders from both parties are embracing the transgender rights issue as a winner for their side, and both may be right.
