“Trans day of visibility” being on Mother’s Day

All right, I know it’s probably because the Trans day of visibility thing is American driven and their Mother’s Day isn’t today...

But i’m feeling petty, and it feels like announcing today as the Trans Day of visibility feels like one more way to say “budge up women, we’re sharing your day; please focus on us today, no one cares anout what your uteruses have done; not all women have uteruses you know” etc etc.

My local police force have made a Facebook post showing a photo of them proudly flying the Trans flag at their HQ. So far absolutely nothing recognising all the mothers that work for them.

But isn’t Visibility fixed to 31st March, whereas the date of Mothering Sunday (clue in name) isn’t a fixed date? So it’s only annoying like once every seven years? Grin

Just ignore them. Mothers day isn't going anywhere, the card and flower industry will see to that.
Not only that, it's even possible to do both things at the same time. People can celebrate mothers day and remember trans family and friends if they want to. I'm sure some people do that without making a song and dance out of it.

I'm enjoying the free gift of even more people peak-transing as the visibility of this increases.

Just think how it's eating up TRAs that we have Mother's Day that no matter what the ideologists believe, only adult human females give birth.

They can rage all they like and divert attention. Police forces can look as woke as they want, because they are forced too, but all of us are only here because a woman gave birth to us.

Happy Mother's Day!

You said it OP. YABU.

It's been the same date since it started in 2009, the fact it falls on mother's day is just a coincidence.

Can't let us have one day !! It is Mother's Day in the U.K.. Not let's celebrate men saying they are female day.

All the flowers in the shops yesterday were for mothers not transwomen.

Only a few hard-core blue haired types will be fawning over transwomen today.

Most people will be enjoying being treated or be treating their Mother today.
