Since taking office, President Biden has surpassed the efforts of all preceding administrations in his dedication to advancing the protections & rights of the transgender community. When compared to past presidents, the Biden Administration has been the strongest advocate for the needs of transgender Americans of any presidential administration in American history.  

Throughout his presidency, President Biden has laid the groundwork for a new era of strengthened rights and improved well-being for transgender Americans with a series of historic initiatives, such as: 

• Reinforcing federal protections for transgender youth against discrimination. 
• Improving the traveling experience for transgender Americans by implementing upgraded screening technology, resulting in the reduced need for physical pat-downs among travelers.  
• Enabling U.S. citizens to choose the gender marker “X” on their passports, expanding access to accurate & affirming identification documents for transgender and non-binary Americans. 
• Providing resources for transgender youth and their families through the provision of mental health resources, training to support transgender and non-binary students in educational settings, affirming the positive impact that transition-related healthcare has on young individuals, and reinforcing the importance of transition-related care for children and youth.  
• Enhancing the availability of federal services for transgender individuals through the establishment of pathways to retirement savings, streamlining the process for lodging employment discrimination complaints, eliminating obstacles to obtaining federal student aid, and modernizing the White House Office Visitor Entry System.  
• Promoting inclusivity in federal data to improve the representation of transgender individuals by allocating $10 million in the 2023 Fiscal Year budget for crucial research aimed at effectively incorporating inquiries about gender identity and sexual orientation into the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. This data will empower the federal government to more effectively support LGBTQ Americans by furnishing valuable insights into aspects such as employment, educational achievements, homeownership, and beyond.
