The silent majority?

If we used this forum as an example, you might find that every single thread started regarding gender has been a complaint about some aspect of it. And in most cases, complaining about something as inane as Transgender Day happening to occur at Easter this year.

There is one thread moaning that a US government department suggested it's employees used terms like parents instead of mother and father, and 'good morning all' instead of 'good morning ladies and gentlemen'. The horror, eh? And that is currently over three and half thousand posts long.

The silent majority? You guys won't stop bringing it up.

I'd contest the "majority" part, too. But it's always heartening to imagine that your fringe movement is the "voice" of a made up majority.

If my sarcasm isn't obvious it must be because today is April 1st in my part of the world. Back to reality. If anyone in the US says that trans people are invisible or unheard in this day and age then you're lying through your teeth. Everyday regular people are bombarded by a form of it. From adverts to talkshow to social media influencers. Not to mention that they have a whole month dedicated to the collective.

What a lot of people don't get is that the silent majority is tired of it. Like a sermon that lasted too long. Fatigue sets in. But instead of sayings ok let's wrap it up, it escalates to an absurd level. As a Christian even I don't want a Sunday service to last forever and being blasted in my face every single day and every single moment of my waking existence.

That is the push back from the silent majority.

Though other people aren't bombarded by the straight agenda every other day.
Straight couples shown on TV and movies
Overly sexualized influencers showing as much as they can online
Magazine made fore the straight white male.
Straight people preaching every day on TV on dozens of channels about their straightness.

None of that happens all year long does it?

That would certainly be the ones who side with secularism and worldliness.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to hold transgender visibility day on April 1st instead of March 31st? To me that would be more fitting.

Just wait tell 2029 and it will be on April 1st.

Why dont Christians change the name "Easter" to something else, as its pagan origins are just so bluntly obvious?

Ive heard many times from Christians that pagan spirituality is not simply incorrect, but is actually from the devil. So why stick with the pagan origin name?

Isn’t that when Ivanka is supposed to be in office?

Nah, that'll be Donalds third term.

Nah, that'll be Donalds third term.

Right, I had forgotten the talking point about the 22nd amendment not being a thing and the president being entitled to another term because he encountered pushback during his first term.

He is Risen ... and that is what is important .... not a specific day.

Amen

This is so embarrassing. Mental disorders should be treated, not celebrated.

It is about the same as sacrificing a pig on the altar in the Jewish temple.

The 31st of March has been "transgender visibility day" for quite several ... it just so happens this year it fell on easter sunday.

He isn't a believer or defender of the faith. Nor is he required to honor Christian customs. That's like asking a heathen to come to church. Stop expecting public officials to validate your beliefs. They're not part of the flock and it's evident.

No I was referring to transgender visibility day, not Easter.

Yeah! The sun, moon, light, air, day, night, water, sleep, and even gravity impose their natures on us, too! How dare they!
Well, you know this is natural, normal, and the reality we exist in. It is gonna happen. Let's hope it does not stop.

Ah so you want Easter & Transgender Visibility Day to occur on the same day again in 2029?

Month long observations.

It's "Confederate History Month" now. Let us remember Confederate history by remembering how much losing they did in Confederate Surrender Month.

The first instance of Transgender Visibility Day was 2009. It's not even the first time Biden proclaimed it, that was 2021. It's always been on March 31st.

Biden First President to Issue Transgender Day of Visibility Proclamation

Biden praised the transgender community for "generations of struggle, activism, and courage that have brought our country closer to full equality for transgender and gender non-binary people in the United States and around the world."

Would you have preferred it if they moved the day this year to not have it conincide with Easter Sunday?

I was under the impression this was the first year it became a nationally recognized occasion.

Yes, there was a bunch of the LGBTQ enthusiasts who declared the day back in 2009, but it wasn't a national day until this year.

I don't think the national recognition should have occurred on a Holy day. Pick another year to announce would have been the most appropriate.
