Yes, I am aware. Did you even read my post? Most of us know that the Easter holiday timeframe was chosen to poke christians in the eye, just like many other LGBTQ++++ activities are designed to do, as I mentioned.
I dont personally care that they do it as a blast against christians, but I do call out the lefty lemmings who pretend like that isnt the case, and act faux offended over others calling out their BS on it..
Convince me how 31 March is a significant day to trans people, other than landing a self claimed "day" simply to be near a holy christian event.
I'll listen.
It's Spring. March 31st is always going to be near Easter. No idea why that day was chosen, but you really think it was because it's near Easter? Maybe they picked that day because it's near the equinox and it means rebirth or something to them. Which, ironically, is how the date of Easter is set each year. If you think it was designed to insult Easter, why wouldn't they have picked the Easter date the first time? They, whoever "they" are, planned for this date ten years ago?
Why is it all of a sudden a big deal? I don't think trans people are out to get Christians lol. Some if them ARE Christians.
The guy whose victory over death is celebrated tomorrow said to love your neighbors. That includes the ones we don't like or agree with or who don't dress as we think they should, who are a different religion from us, or see the world differently from the way we do. He was not such a wuss that a calendar date could send him into a teeth-gnashing tailspin, either. He got on a flipping cross and was executed. Perhaps the distress and discomfort some are experiencing over this trivial matter is a sign to turn inward and reflect upon one's faith and self-conduct and whether one actually grasps the meaning of the event to be celebrated tomorrow.

I see you are simply guessing on the relevance of the 31 March date, mere shots in the dark, as you do not know. And yes, it will always be very near to the holy Easter week. I asked for some real relevance to the day for trans folks. Yes, some trans folks may be christian, but it is also obvious that many LGBTQ+++ types make it a concerted effort to purposely rile up christians. That is simply known, and is not a disputed fact. I am not judging them on this, I am simply stating an obvious fact. So again, to convince me this isnt yet another case of LGBTQ+++ poking a sharp stick at christians, why the specific relevence related to trans folx over 31 March?

You need to convince the christians, not this happy agnostic.

Selecting March 31 as transgender day might appear on the surface to be a coincidence, but whoever set the date had to realize, and could easily verify just by looking at future calendars, that it would occur on Easter.
I don't know which is worse - this or Biden banning religiously themed Easter Eggs. He knows it's one of the major Christian events, so there's no doubt that the Administration's actions were not an accident. Nothing wrong with the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs, but they are way overshadowed by the resurrection. He should know that as a "good Catholic".

I don't know, and I'm not looking to convince you of anything.

So why was it chosen as the Trans Day of Visibility? What was/is special about 31 March that makes it particularly special to LGBTQ++ folx, but especially the "T" folx.
I'm searching and finding a big fat nothing on why that day is special.
This is a real mystery and conundrum.
