Today, I went to an Easter gathering my friends family was putting on and his mom came up to me when I arrived and went "It's Olivia now right?" I'm like, "uh yes" (met before my egg cracked"

And she goes "Well, I just wanted to say welcome Olivia and thank you so much for coming as your true self. We're happy to have you here with us!" 😭

There is love and support for us out there :)

On this day of visibility I am going to stay inside and cuddle the GF. Life is good, I'm blessed to be trans, but physical therapy is a bitch!

Happy TDOV everyone! Just learned about this today! Thank you Lemmy for teaching me about another great holiday! Much love to all of you!

Why on Easter? Just curious.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

It has been on March 31st every year for the past 15 years, as a companion day to Trans Day of Remembrance (which commemorates all the trans people murdered in the past year).

Easter is not on the same day every year and was last on March 31st in 2014, 5 years after TDOV started.

Easter won’t fall on TDOV again until 2086.

Coincidence. It’s always the same day every year vs easter which floats

[–] cavaloris 24 points 4 months ago

Has no connection. Easter is a floating holiday. Just lined up this year.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It's March 31 every year. That it lines up this year is just a fluke of the calendar.

For fun I asked both my sister and my mom if they could see me today, and they both looked at me weird until I told them what day it is lol
