Well, now that their day is over, trans people can go back to being invisible.

For everyone mad about this, you can rest assured, transgender day of visibility will not fall on the same date as Easter again until 2086.

You have to admit though, Big Trans' plan to pick a day that allowed their thing coincide with Easter twice every century was a stroke of absolute genius. I can just see them all scheming, back in 2009, and saying "This is it. We'll hit Easter in 2024 and 2086, and THAT'LL show them, once and for all!"barbacoa taco said:

Can we just get a list of dates that will hurt your fee fees if other people do things on them too? I know y'all like to complain about Christmas being over commercialized, but for our purposes here I'm assuming everything is off limits to anyone but Christians starting the day after Halloween when stores start decorating, all the way up through Epiphany.TxAgPreacher said:barbacoa taco said:

Any day outside of a one month window is fine. Leaves over 300 days to choose.
My point was its antagonistic on purpose anyone honest would admit that.
Great. December 25 it is then.Quote:

Yeah, you're right. Those two Easters in in the entire 21st Century are going to be stinging yall for centuries.Quote:

It will hit in holy week VERY OFTEN. Why run interference for something like this???
Because your pearl clutching over it is ridiculous. Groups pick a day to market as National Whatever Day all the time. Apparently today is National Ferret Day. Is that ok? Did anyone check with Christians to make sure it wasn't offensive having it in a week that could potentially be Easter or in the vicinity of Easter in 35 years?TxAgPreacher said:

That's what this is really about, isn't it? There isn't a day that this could happen that wouldn't upset you, and you'd rather trans people just weren't a thing you had to know about existing. The fact is this thing has happened every year for over a decade on the same day, and you never even knew about it until the right news/social media outlet told you to be mad about it, and you dutifully obliged like a good little rage robot. Next year, this will happen a full three weeks before Easter, and by then I doubt you'll even remember it was ever a thing.Quote:
Honestly I apose them having any day.

It really boils down to a wrong understanding of freedom. Here's how George Weigel explains Thomas Aquinas' view of freedom:
"Freedom is a means to human excellence, to human happiness, to the fulfillment of human destiny. Freedom is the capacity to choose wisely and to act well as a matter of habit-or, to use the old-fashioned term, as an outgrowth of virtue. Freedom is the means by which, exercising both our reason and our will, we act on the natural longing for truth, for goodness, and for happiness that is built into us as human beings. Freedom is something that grows in us, and the habit of living freedom wisely must be developed through education, which among other things involves the experience of emulating others who live wisely and well. Freedom is the great organizing principle of the moral life-and since the very possibility of a moral life (the capacity to think and choose) is what distinguishes the human person from the rest of the natural world, freedom is the great organizing principle of a life lived in a truly human way."
Eta: just to sum this up in a few words: the ability to choose is what makes it possible for us to act in a way that's not morally ambiguous. But it doesn't imply that we have the right to do whatever we want to do.
We don't think about lesser animals the same way. If a lion kills and eats a gazelle, he hasn't "murdered" it. If some animal forces copulation onto another animal, it hasn't "raped" it. We understand intuitively there's a dimension to human freedom that implies an obligation to choose the good that's not true of lesser animals.
You're using freedom and liberty as a kind of proxy for morality, but that's incoherent from your perspective. Because if exercising MY freedom, as you put it, is violative of YOUR freedom, then the same is true in reverse. Even if I just adopt your caricature of the Christian brand of freedom as raw coercion, tell me why that's bad in your view.
Who gets to be that judge? You?Quote:
Can it be that some people's freedom is better than others? Or maybe that some people have a distorted view of freedom and morals?

Sure, if they want to do it, fine. Same with National Ferret Day or National Margarita Day or whatever. None of them require me to do anything or expend even the slightest amount of energy.

In your opinion why hasn't the White House made a proclamation about National Ferret Day? Why that day but not this day? Why aren't we lighting up our cities skylines in celebration of Ferret Day do you think?
Probably because it thinks trans people are more important than ferrets. I would tend to agree.Quote:

So you're creating a space for your kids then. One that's safe from certain things. Is there a term for such a place?TxAgPreacher said:
I don't want my kids, or any other person to be exposed to a harmful ideology, and I'm not afraid to say that the transsexual ideology is harmful.
