This isn’t someone claiming Biden said that, it’s an actual video
of Biden saying that.
That's NOT what Biden said.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I want to get one more question this segment and it
comes from Mieke Haeck. She's from state college Pennsylvania. This is
your first presidential election that you're voting.
MIEKE HAECK: It is.
BIDEN: Hi, Mieke, how are you?
HAECK: I'm good, thank you. I'm the proud mom of two girls, 8 and 10.
My youngest daughter is transgender. The Trump administration has
attacked the rights of transgender people, banning them from military
service, weakening non discrimination protections and even removing
the word transgender from some government websites.
How will you as president reverse this dangerous and discriminatory
agenda and insure that the lives and rights of LGBTQ people are
protected under U.S. law?
BIDEN: I will flat out just change the law. Every -- eliminate those
executive orders, number one. You may recall I'm the guy who said -- I
was raised by a man who I remember I was being dropped off, my -- my
dad was a high school educated, well read man who was a really decent
guy.
And I was being dropped off to get an application in the center of our
city; Wilmington, Delaware, the corporate capital of the world at the
time. And these two men, I'm getting out to get an application to be a
lifeguard in the African American community because there was a big
swimming pool complex.
And these two men, well dressed, leaned up and hugged one another and
kissed one another. And I'm getting out of the car at the light and I
turn to my dad. My dad looked at me and said Joey, it's simple. They
love each other.
The idea that an 8-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides, you
know I decided I want to be transgender. That's what I think I'd like
to be. It would make my life a lot easier. There should be zero
discrimination.
And what's happening is too many transgender women of color are being
murdered. They're being murdered. And I think it's up now to 17, don't
hold me to that number. But it's -- it's higher now?
HAECK: Yes.
BIDEN: And that's just this year. And so I promise you there is no
reason to suggest that there should be any right denied your daughter
or daughters, whichever one or two ...
HAECK: One.
BIDEN: ... one, your daughter -- that your other daughter has a right
to be and do. None, zero. And by the way, my son Bo, passed away; he
was the attorney general in the state of Delaware. He was the guy who
got the first transgender passed in the state of Delaware and because
of a young man who became a woman who worked for him in the attorney
general offices.
STEPHANOPOULOS: We've got one more segment coming up. Thank you.
BIDEN: And I'm proud of that.
easier... they have a right to transition and there is no reason for you
The word 'deny' isn't even in there ANYWHERE.
