Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I’m thinking about the trans leaders, activists, and trailblazers, who epitomize not only resilience, but joy.
HHS will do everything in our power to protect transgender people’s right to health care, including gender-affirming care.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility from our very own @HHS_ASH!
Admiral Rachel Levine serves as this country’s first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and she is also the first transgender 4-star general in any uniformed service.

The Biden-Harris Administration believes health care is a right, not a privilege. @POTUS has made expanding access to health insurance & lowering health care costs for America’s families a top priority! Watch how it’s making a difference in the lives of real American families!
