Transgender day of visibility has been March 31st for years, Biden didn't co-opt Easter for trans people (not that I would care if he did).

[-] [email protected] 102 points 5 months ago

So it’s whoever decided to make Easter the first Sunday after the first Saturday after the first full moon after the spring equinox’s fault, this year.

Hosius of Corduba better be watching out, transphobes are gonna come for his ass

[-] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago

I will say, this is probably gonna go down as the "most visible" visibility day, due to the coincidence.

[-] [email protected] 135 points 5 months ago

So, uh, she's a Christian and doesn't know Easter comes on different dates every year? And that the 31st comes on a different day of the week every year?

[-] [email protected] 58 points 5 months ago

And that Easter is a co-opted pagan holiday for fertility (eggs, rabbits)

Estrogen

[-] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

That sounds close to math...

She also hasn't figured out that vehicular manslaughter is bad, one thing at a time.

Seems like a confusing concept for a lot of conservatives.

[-] [email protected] 60 points 5 months ago

I don't grasp why anyone thinks they have to choose like ... how does the existence of one holiday mean erasing another, it doesn't

[-] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago

I worked with a trashy white woman who was mad that we had pride stuff up for June and Juneteenth stuff up on the 19th because of Father's day (what?). So the whole crew decided to troll by having fake conversations in her presence about how father's day should only be celebrated by gay black fathers. We were all happy when at he was every eventually fired.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Oof I had a counselor once who went off unprompted about how there's a MLK Day but no White Person Day, among other manifestations of bigotry I've encountered in my community

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Even if they had a day (which they do, it’s the various holidays for different European cultures) they’d still complain. Like how the only time people mention International Men’s Day is when they say why don’t we have one during International Women’s Day in February. But not in June, which is when International Men’s Day actually happens.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Damn, those search spikes are like clockwork. Could we harness cyclical outrage to generate power, like the tides?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Since when is it in June? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Men's_Day says it's on November 19th.

Are there two international men's days or why is there a spike in June?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

The equivalent of MLK Day is Presidents’ Day. I’m not even sure what you mean by European holidays, Halloween? I would not consider Christian holidays like Easter or Christmas to be white holidays and can’t think of anything else that qualifies as “European”

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Like a child complaining there's no children's day...

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Tbf the fact that there's no LinkOpensChest.wav Appreciation Day feels like a major oversight

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

I love this analogy, because you literally have a birthday and forgot about it lol.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

This is true! 🥳

I've heard similar complaints about February. Bigots gonna bigot, I suppose.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

No, you're only allowed to have 365 holidays! Maybe an extra one for February 29th, but that one's already taken anyway.

The idea of a holiday is entirely arbitrary and the meaning and value is entirely subjective for any given holiday. Getting upset because your made up religious holiday happened to coincide with some other designated day is just irrational.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

but here I am trying to find logic and reason

[-] [email protected] 59 points 5 months ago

The amount of dissonance in the rich and famous is astounding.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago

Dissonance is not limited to the rich and famous; they just have more potential to do damage than the rest of us.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Did I claim it to be?

Huh?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

This is how I pictured that "huh?"

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Not everything is an attack relax lol. The comment is just mentioning it's not limited to the rich and famous. That's all.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

And not every question asked is asked with outrage…

Maybe you’re reading too far into my 7 word post…

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I don’t understand why you made the assumption that I was anything less than chill while asking a pretty simple, neutral toned, 6 word question

Well I can think of reasons, but I’d like to hear your actual rationale

Edit: blocked commenter who responded to this, didn’t want to talk to discuss, just wanted to dictate and push their reality on others. Cyber gaslighting, wild.

Why doesn't Caitlyn Jenner speak at GOP conferences if she hates Biden and trans people so much?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

She ran for governor of California. As a Republican. She doesn't go to GOP conferences because she might get eaten by the leopards. The political and religious posturing is all a grift, which in a way makes her a perfect Republican, but they can't really claim her, for the same reason.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Dang those pesky face eating leopards

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Because she's only useful to them as a prop? They don't want to see or hear her... ew ...but its useful to have a trans person spout your anti-trans talking points. Reminds me of that Trump rally where he pointed out the like 1 POC there like "look at MY African American"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

because she tried to run for governor of california as a republican and found out that republicans only like her to use her to attack marginalized people

[-] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago

Poor thing. Trying to be relevant. Bless her heart.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

Why would you have a problem with that Caitlyn HMMMM??

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

JESUS IS RISEN... and she's divine.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Jesus was asexual. Deal with it, republiturds

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Jesus was a gay dude with 12 poly partners and 1 hag

The only thing consistent within liberalism is the fascism.

Wait, wait, wait . . . From Earth, where TF are u?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I assume it's a placeholder for when there's no location data.

Friggin Earthlings always assuming everyone on the Internet is human.
