Trans Day of Visibility - GMDino - 03-31-2024 I was reading through Crow's post and responses in the meme and joke thread and wanted to make a post here about this because I saw on Twitter Michelle Obama is trending due to the fact the republicans are still pushing the lie that she is really a man. It's kind of sad that all these years later the idea of a strong black woman being the first lady still drives these alleged men crazy. One of their go-to posts is the lat Joan Rivers, who I personally loved, saying "everyone know she is a transgender". <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"> And how Rivers died shortly after de to "complications" for a surgery. The amount of disconnect to take a comedian's words as the only truth and then to throw in a conspiracy about her death really sums up the base of the republican party to me. Of course there is more. Like a clip of Michelle saying she that if she had worried about being cute and who liked her when she was young she wouldn't have been married to the POTUS. <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></span> I almost feel bad for these guys. Almost. Then I realize they are spreading this to their circle of friends and family and they are either heavily closeted themselves or would love to be with a woman like Michelle Obama but instead they are incels. It's a free country. If you don't want to "celebrate" anything you don't have to celebrate it. But the hate that comes from the right over this issue, and really anything that isn't straight, white Christian families, is sda and doing more to destroy this country than any rainbow flag or Presidential Declaration ever could. Happy Easter! RE: Trans Day of Visibility - StoneTheCrow - 03-31-2024 Happy Easter everyone! He/Him/His/They is Risen! Why have we never seen any pictures of her pregnant? It’s a dumbass conspiracy theory. I actually think she’s rather attractive, especially the way she carries herself. No *****. RE: Trans Day of Visibility - Nately120 - 03-31-2024 My stance on trans people is that as a straight man there is only one penis on this planet I care about, and it's my own. RE: Trans Day of Visibility - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 03-31-2024 I have zero issue if you want to make a day of the year Transgender day of Visibility. Making it on Easter Sunday is an insanely disrespectful thing to do, and I'm not a Christian.

That's been posted multiple times. Easter is the first sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. There was no disrespect just Christian claiming victimhood again.

It has fallen on Mar 31st 3 times since 1700 including today and will not fall on this date again until 2086.

Having any sort of "X" day on a major religious day is a bad idea, be it Judaism, Islam or Christianity. RE: Trans Day of Visibility - Arturo Bandini - 03-31-2024 Why ? They are not people ? God hates them ? Or it might offend people who are outraged on daily basis by everything ?

Shh, don't talk about the left like that. They'll kick you out of the tree house.

That hilarious given that only the right is offended about this AND they are making up the reason they are outraged by saying Biden did this on purpose because it was Easter. But I'm sure someone will be along to tell you "both sides" get offended about things all time. Any minute now...

The inherent risk of a holiday that migrates days based on something other than a fixed date is that it may conflict with other holidays or celebrations. Easter is held on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs after the Spring Equinox. Based on the lunar months and their relation to the solar year, this could theoretically happen anywhere between mid March and late April. Trans Visibility Day, on the other hand, operates on a fixed day. March 31st. Is has for 15 years. You are falling victim to the right wing outrage machine right now. This is a non-story.

Next year Easter is on Hitler's birthday. Can you imagine if Trump is in office when that happens?!?! The outrage!! RE: Trans Day of Visibility - Mike M (the other one) - 04-01-2024 Who cares, I don't. But I do want my own Cranky Old Guy national holiday! you know i'm not feeling included in all of these National Holidays. Stop the Divison!

When I worked in radio I had a big book of "National Days" that we'd read for laughs. That was just pre-internet. I got you. It's not a national holiday but maybe we can start a letter writing campaign? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/curmudgeons-day/ Quote:Curmudgeons Day RE: Trans Day of Visibility - Mike M (the other one) - 04-01-2024 (04-01-2024, 10:33 AM)GMDino Wrote: When I worked in radio I had a big book of "National Days" that we'd read for laughs.

I'm not falling victim to anything. I just find it in poor taste. If Easter can be moved so can this day. I'd make the exact same point if it was a major religious holiday for Islam or Judaism as well. I'm an atheist leaning agnostic, so I have no skin in the game.

We're in the middle of Ramadan. I don't see hysterical posts from offended Muslims RE: Trans Day of Visibility - NATI BENGALS - 04-01-2024 Well what’s the head count? How many survived?
