US presidential candidate Joe Biden has criticised Donald Trump for ignoring the increasing rates of violence against the trans and gender non-conforming community.
Biden was featured in a National Coming Out Day event hosted by LGBTQ+ streaming service Revry, where he said: “For four years Donald Trump has tried to roll back to protections for the LGBTQ+ community: denying access to health care, denying transgender Americans a chance to serve our country, letting adoption agencies and homeless shelters and other public services discriminate, and turning a blind eye to the epidemic of violence against transgender women of color.”He argued “the White House should never be a source of opposition or fear or oppression.
