Statement by Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pamela S. Karlan on International Transgender Day of Visibility

Washington, DC

 ~ 

Wednesday, March 31, 2021

On this International Transgender Day of Visibility, the U.S. Department of Justice recognizes the many contributions of the transgender community, and the discrimination that many transgender individuals continue to face today. All Americans, including transgender individuals, should live and work free from fear of losing a job, being denied housing or medical care, or being harassed or assaulted because of who they are.

This mission guides our work in the Civil Rights Division. The Division has a dedicated working group of attorneys and staff exploring how federal law can protect transgender individuals (as well as other members of the LGBTI community). From vigorously investigating and prosecuting federal hate crimes to enforcing federal antidiscrimination laws, we are committed to upholding the civil and constitutional rights of transgender individuals.

To our fellow citizens in the transgender community, our commitment to the nation and to you is this: we will work to enforce federal laws without fear or favor and make sure that you, like all Americans, are treated equally under the law.

Okay, I hate to bring up Q content, but here goes.

Found this paragraph out beyond the trees, where I was engaged in winning hearts and minds with my sterling personality and charisma.

or COVID-19, there is only one acceptable position that “reasonable people” are allowed to hold. And you know what that is because it’s pounded into your brain via the Media, the Academy and Politicians (MAP) on a 24/7 basis.

I'm not sure if this version of MAP is a commonly used anacronym or made up by this author just for tis particular article.

I NEVER understood Q's MAP or his clock. So this just caught my eye and thought I'd post it and see if it would stimulate any updated MAP conversation.

Andy MAPfags care to comment?
