UFC fighter-turned-soldier Tim Kennedy weighs in on Joe Biden’s Transgender Day of Visibility post on Easter 

Former UFC fighter turned soldier Tim Kennedy recently shared his thoughts on President Joe Biden’s post about Transgender Day of Visibility, which happened to fall on Easter Sunday. This sparked a heated discussion on social media.

This year, Transgender Day of Visibility, which falls on March 31, coincided with Easter Sunday, one of the most important days in the Christian calendar that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Despite this coincidence, the day continues to honor and recognize the valuable contributions of the transgender community on a global scale.

President Biden’s statement, which was issued by the White House, reiterated the country’s dedication to fairness and diversity, eliciting both commendation and disapproval from different groups. The declaration sparked a flurry of responses from notable Christian figures, government officials, and individuals on social media.

During the discussion, Tim Kennedy, a former UFC fighter and current soldier, offered his viewpoint on the topic. He emphasized the significance of accepting different beliefs and identities, while also expressing his admiration for Easter as a holiday that represents Jesus’ resurrection.

On his official X handle, Kenny emphasized that it is possible to celebrate different beliefs and still honor Easter. In his post, he wrote:

“These aren’t mutually exclusive things. I celebrate every belief, race, religion, gender, but today I celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead.”

Tim Kennedy’s Perspective on Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports

Despite not being a part of the conversation, Tim Kennedy showed his support for Kiwi powerlifter Dale Shephherd’s protest against gender self-identification policies in the discourse surrounding transgender athletes in sports.

Shepherd, who holds multiple records, has submitted an application to participate in women’s sports in protest of transgender athletes competing in the women’s category. Kennedy praised Shepherd’s decision, stating:

“This is genius. Just making idiotic policies look idiotic.”

Take a look at his answer down below:

The discussion surrounding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports centers on the equality of competition and the potential physical advantages that may remain even with hormone therapy. Shepherd supports the idea of separate divisions in order to ensure fairness in women’s sports, stressing the importance of preserving opportunities for female athletes who were born biologically female.
