On this year’s International Transgender Day of Visibility, President Joe Biden made history by issuing the first presidential proclamation recognizing the occasion. In a statement, he said: “Vice President Harris and I affirm that transgender Americans make our Nation more prosperous, vibrant, and strong. I urge my fellow Americans to join us in uplifting the worth and dignity of every transgender person.” On that note, The World is highlighting a few transgender musicians on the global airwaves. Host Carol Hills takes us to Venezuela, Ireland and Mexico.
