Transgender “Jeopardy!” champion Amy Schneider is calling some of the transgender bills being passed “scary.”
Schneider visited the White House as part of “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Thursday.
When asked to comment on the transgender bills, Schneider replied, “They’re really scary. Some of them, in particular, are denying medical services to trans youth. Those are life-saving medical treatments. These bills will cause the deaths of children, and that’s really sad to me, and it’s really frightening.”
Watch Schneider’s comments below:
President Joe Biden issued a statement celebrating the day, as IJR reported.
“To everyone celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility, I want you to know that your President sees you,” Biden tweeted.
He added, “, , and my entire Administration see you for who you are — made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support.”
The administration also announced efforts to “support the mental health of transgender children, remove barriers that transgender people face accessing critical government services, and improve the visibility of transgender people in our nation’s data.”
In a video message, Biden made it clear the administration “is standing up for you against all these hateful bills.”
He proceeded to tell parents of transgender children that “affirming your child’s identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe and healthy.”
