"The last entry features a photo of a topless trans woman at the White House, alongside the caption, "The Biden/Harris administration hosts transexuals [sic] at the White House in 2023, and goes on to establish the 'The Transgender Day of Visibility' on the same day as Easter Sunday in 2024." Transgender Day of Visibility was not established by the Biden administration - it was created in 2009 by trans activist Rachel Crandall, and occurs on March 31 every year. Biden, who was the first president to recognize the date in 2024, issued a proclamation telling transgender Americans: "I have your back.""
"The Christian holiday of Easter, which occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox, happened to fall on March 31 that year. Despite the overlap of the dates being a coincidence, conservatives were up in arms, accusing Biden of attempting to replace the Christian celebration with an occasion for queer people. The picture chosen by Trump's White House to accompany the entry on the "Major Events" timeline has nothing to do with Transgender Day of Visibility, but was from a 2024 White House Pride Month celebration hosted by the Biden administration."
The Trump administration altered a "Major Events Timeline" on the official White House website to add false entries alleging Democratic scandals. One entry falsely attributed cocaine found in the White House to Hunter Biden, and another falsely accused Barack Obama of membership in the Muslim Brotherhood. The timeline included an unrelated photo of a topless trans woman with a caption claiming the Biden administration established Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter 2024. Transgender Day of Visibility originated in 2009 and occurs annually on March 31; President Biden issued the first presidential recognition of the day in 2024. The image actually came from a 2024 White House Pride Month event.
