The president can say "Hey Congress, can you make this bill?" but Congress has no obligation to listen to him. Unless trans rights are being violated specifically by executive agencies, the president's influence is pretty limited.
It's different with Isreal, in that Biden has to approve foreign aid bills made by Congress, he himself expresses support for aid to Isreal, and he has the power to make treaties (as long as Congress approves them)
