Mayor Sheng Tao tweeted that “today is #TransDayOfVisibility and a reminder of the amazing contributions our trans community have made to Oakland and our world.”

Set aside this nonsense, what is invisible during the “Transgender Day of Visibility”?

Rising crime risks turning Oakland into a ‘ghost town.’ Newsom is sending in reinforcements – CNN

“Robberies grew 38% last year in Oakland, according to police data. Burglaries increased 23%. Motor vehicle theft jumped 44%. Roughly one of every 30 Oakland residents had a car stolen last year, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis.”

1 out of every 30. Mindblowing number.

But why talk about that when we can instead talk about the “Transgender Day of Visibility”? And that way the horrendous crime rates will be invisible.

“And last summer, Oakland police advised residents to use air horns to alert neighbors to intruders and add security bars to their doors and windows.”

But were any of them transgender? And by that I mean the air horns.

In-N-Out is permanently closing one of its restaurants for the first time ever, saying that its Oakland location will soon shutter because of car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies targeting employees and customers. Denny’s is shuttering its only location in Oakland after more than 54 years, citing public safety concerns.

Kaiser Permenente said a number of its employees working in its downtown Oakland offices were victims of armed robberies, vehicle theft and other crimes in the latter part of 2023. Kaiser reportedly issued a memo to employees recommending that staff stay in buildings for lunch.

And Clorox said it hired uniformed security guards to chaperone employees to the office from public transit stations, parking garages, restaurants and coffee shops.

No, no. Don’t look there, it’s the transgender day of visibility! Or any other culture war nonsense leftists can pull out of their hats. Don’t look at the utter state of misery that leftist policies result in, look at the exciting new victims who have just arrived.
