Biden’s claim comes after he has faced outrage from Christians for issuing a

Amid the ensuing backlash, the White House issued a statement suggesting
Biden meant that he hadn’t been the one who established the Transgender Day
of Visibility or specifically chosen March 31st for its recognition this
year.

“President Biden is right. He did nothing in conflict with the ‘tenets of
Easter,’ which he celebrated yesterday, nor did he choose the date of March
31st for the Transgender Day of Visibility, which has been set sine 2009,”
White House Spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Then you're dead wrong too.  Read what Newsweek wrote, and tell me where they have it wrong.

While Biden did officially acknowledge March 31 to be TDoV, he also did so in 2021 when Easter fell on April 4 that year.
 The day was set by a Michigan-based advocate to raise awareness of the plight of transgender people and to celebrate their achievements.
 The first TDoV was celebrated in 2009 when Easter occurred on April 12. Since then, the two dates coincided only twice: in 2013 and in 2024.
 Biden did not invent TDoV, nor set the date to deliberately clash with Easter, which is on a different date every year.

What do you disagree with in that?
