Does people seriously believe that Biden set the the date for Transgender Day of Visibilty?

i guarantee the majority of them never heard of it until now, so the only framework in which they've heard of it is the current outrage and not considering the obvious idea that easter, not having a set date, could blunder into the path of other notable days

evangelical self-victimization, just add water

Yeah, and once they found out it happens the same day every year they still cried like babies that their holiday only got 99% of the attention instead of 100%.

Literally the only things I saw or heard about the transgender day of visibility, aside from Biden acknowledging it, was conservative whining.

Zorch! Splat! Pow!
It's still Biden's fault though because he didn't unilaterally change the holiday to avoid a conflict:

quote:

Charles Moran, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, described the president's Easter post as disrespectful in an exclusive statement to Newsweek on Sunday.

"Time and time again, the Biden-Harris Administration shows that it's utterly tone-deaf when it comes to the priorities of average Americans," Moran said. "Yes - this Administration has been marking March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility for several years now. And yes, Easter moves around. But I'm awe-struck that nobody in the White House thought that it might be prudent to possibly move the trans proclamation up or back a day, so it didn't directly conflict with the most important holiday in the Christian faith."

He continued: "This entire episode shows extreme disrespect to Christians, or extreme malpractice upon Biden's advisors. Either way, it's a bad look for this Administration, creates unneeded division in America, and shows that LGBT voters should seriously look elsewhere for leadership than the failed Biden-Harris Administration. They're needlessly making it worse, not better, for all of us, with stunts like this."

There is a huge number of reasons this poo poo is infuriating, but the big ugly one that is the elephant in the room is "people with literal Nazi flags showed up to CPAC and none of them did anything about it, the Republicans refused to tell Nazi supporters to gently caress off, and let's not forget the torch wielding mob howling JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US a few years back."

Yeah, their strategy is to pretend as if TDoV was some sort of federal holiday that Biden could either cancel or delay, then act as if the fact that he didn't is some sort of direct blasphemy against God proving that Christians are the most persecuted minority in America, and then pivot to attacking trans peoples' existence. So many Evangelical shitheads spent yesterday screaming about how trans people actually have all the power in this country, and every TV show is full of transes so why do they even need a day of visibility, maybe we should ban gender-affirming care and jail all doctors who provide it just throwing that out there??

If you want an example of people getting angry at the President for poo poo outside of his control, look at how the media have pretty intentionally allowed an increasing number of people to believe the President (chief executive of the government) has a meaningful amount of control over the (free market capitalist and very intentionally designed not to be influenced by the government) economy. At this point I think it's like gerrymandering- tolerated by both sides because they both take advantage of it at different points in time.

American Family Association's line is that those nefarious transgenders knew this was gonna happen when they chose that date! A feature, not a bug!

They're also claiming that transitioning is a satanic reverse-baptism ritual, so celebrating it on Easter is a direct attack on the divinity of Christ, so they are having a completely normal one about this.

Surely there's a far worse celebration happening on the same day as Easter this year, because as Psalm 14 says, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." and there's nothing worse you can say than that.

No, about Easter falling on April Fools Day.

I remember the Evangelicals had a whole thing way back about writing to the film classification saying that 'fool' should be worse than other censored words like 'motherfucker' because one is denying God and the other is just loving your mother, which is a sin but not the worst one, so surely they're super pissed about Easter falling on April Fools Day and haven't just ditched that one for the next thing to be outraged about that came along.

Scotland has brought in some new laws against hate crimes. jk rowling, fuckhead and transphobe who has nothing better to do with her untold riches than be a bigot all day on social media, did a whole twitter rant calling numerous specific trans women men in a "oh i bet i'll be arrested for this!!!" martyrdom style. she is not in fact getting arrested but that detail is obviously not relevant to the anti-woke outrage machine

e: also the police officer has both an earring and a beard because they are WOKE!! SCARY WOKES WITH THEIR FASHION CHOICES THAT WOULD BE MILDLY UNCONVENTIONAL A FEW DECADES AGO

I mean, I figured it was some manner of transphobic nonsense involving her, because she's a terrible person, but the cartoon itself was twisting itself into such knots to try and...and what? Say she wasn't a woman, and thereby misgendered herself? And citizen arrested herself for it? Or... ???????
