Transition party when?

I think trans people should get thrown transition showers like brides and pregnant people get. All your friends come over to celebrate this big moment in your life, gift you things to start living your true gender, and just have a big party. Can we make that a thing?
If I go by the trans people I know, they'd rather be locked in a casket than being the centerpiece of a party.
I would have loved a party if I'd had a supportive environment when I started transitioning. I've known some trans men that threw "T" parties when they started HRT, complete with joke gifts like Man™ butt wipes and stuff like that.
Do you have supportive people now? It's never too late for a party! I'd definitely go to a bridal shower if the bride couldn't do it before getting married. I say go all out if you want one. Now is the time to go overboard in supporting trans people anyway, at least in my country.
It just seems a little silly to do it almost 20 years later, haha! Maybe in a few years I’ll do one when the amount of time I’ve spent post-transition is equal to the time I spent pre-transition.
Makes sense. If you do it and you feel like you want more people to come, let me know! Although if there's music there's a very good chance I will dance enough to seriously embarrass myself.
Could also do a symbolic death of their OG Gender by actually throwing them in a casket and having people say eulogies for them.
You know, for the more morbid types.
OK I know I just appeared here and that this is late but hear me out
You know that one magic trick where people disappear from a box or something?
If you wanna go really over the top, you could use that one so that they close the "casket" with you in your AGAB clothes and you can go change into something gender affirming for a dramatic reveal?
Iunno im spitballin here kjdjkldfkhl
considering awful parents actually do throw funerals for their "dead/lost" child just for being trans...
I'm all for having some fun with the concept as long as I can wear something tragically goth, and sexy
