0:00.0	It's Tuesday, April 1st, 2025.
0:07.0	I'm Albert Mowler, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:14.0	Well, my guess is that you missed it, but yesterday was International Transgender Day of Visibility.
0:19.0	It's been more recently shortened to just Transgender Day of Visibility. It's been more recently shortened to just
0:20.8	Transgender Day of Visibility. It has been on the national calendar. And in 2021, President
0:28.2	Joe Biden proclaimed March the 31st, his Transgender Day of Visibility. He said back in 21, quote,
0:34.5	I call upon all Americans to join in the fight for full equality for all transgender
0:38.3	people. We are told that he was the first American president to issue such a proclamation.
0:44.2	He did so also in 2022 and 2023 and 2024. He once again released a statement. The Biden White

1:17.5	day of visibility, that means that you are claiming you are invisible. And I also want to make the
1:23.9	point that I didn't discuss this yesterday when it was the transgender day of visibility according to the calendar because I could go back to it today and point
1:31.7	out that almost assuredly you missed it. Okay, so what's my point? My point is that the
1:36.9	transgender day of visibility is a made-up event about what's effectively a socially
1:41.6	constructed issue and one that has done so for ideological reasons.
1:46.6	And even as you're looking at it, you recognize that we went through life yesterday, pretty much like we do every other day.
1:53.7	And at least a part of this is the political strategy on the part of the gender revolutionaries and the ideologues of the moral revolution, what they've been trying to do is to say,
2:02.9	this is a big thing, this is a massive thing, this is the coming thing, and thus you're going to have to
