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).

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 103 points 2 years 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.

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

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

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.

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

[-] brotkel@programming.dev 16 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] metaldream@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years 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”

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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?

[-] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

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

This is true! 🥳

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] HenchmanNumber3@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years 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.

but here I am trying to find logic and reason

[-] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 59 points 2 years ago

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

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

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

[-] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 16 points 2 years ago

Did I claim it to be?

Huh?

[-] TheEEEdiot@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago

This is how I pictured that "huh?"

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years 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.

[-] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 5 points 2 years ago

And not every question asked is asked with outrage…

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

[-] stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I really don't want to talk to you.

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

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Dang those pesky face eating leopards

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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"

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years 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

[-] Lladra@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago

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

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Jesus was asexual. Deal with it, republiturds

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 15 points 2 years ago

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

The only thing consistent within liberalism is the fascism.

[-] ransomwarelettuce@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Friggin Earthlings always assuming everyone on the Internet is human.
