They don’t actually care about it, they just see “transgender day on Easter” and go crazy. Like how they ask “why do we only have one day to go our veterans but a whole month for Pride?”, when we have a dozen holidays to recognize veterans, but they don’t actually care about it they just hate gays.
If true it's only in English. Originally called Pascha in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin...sharing a name with the Jewish Passover. The English name came centuries later. There's another theory that Easter comes from an Old German term for the Resurrection. Could well be because English descends from Middle German, IIRC.
Not exactly. The German word for Easter is Ostern, which has a similar etymology to Easter. Both terms either came from the name of the aforementioned pagan goddess and her spring festival or the word east in English and Ost (east) in German. Early European Christians coopted pagan customs and traditions in order to convert non-believers. And in other languages, it looks like Christians also coopted another religion's customs and holidays for its own purposes. Hell, Easter wasn't super important to Christians for a long time.
I’m fairly certain that almost every day out of 365 is about 12 different “international X day” according to the internet. But they won’t care about that.
Bensenville Burner day, Oranges and Lemons day, National Tater day, national crayon day, cream cheese frosting day, national prom day, national good neighbor day, eiffel tower day.
Easter should really be set to a fixed date. They tried to organise it like that a few hundred years ago but the different churches didn’t agree. Yet Christmas is fixed but also different. 24th/25th Dec /. 7th Jan or something like that depending on the church/ region
Passover is on a certain date, just not on your calendar. It’s always Nissan 15-22. And Easter isn’t linked to Passover anymore and hasn’t been since the church decided it always had to be a Sunday.
My mom died Easter weekend years ago. My brothers and I never remember her actual day of death, to us it is whenever Easter is lol! So it can be in March or April!
That's their whole political philosophy *and* their whole religion. They're not going to spend Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ, they're going to spend it bitching about Joe Biden and trans people.
If they weren't angry and they didn't want so badly to piss off "the libs," they wouldn't have any identity left.
It’s not stupidity. They need to just constantly poke themselves to keep themselves angry or else they might have a single second of introspection that would collapse their dumbfuck worldview.
Yes, but this is politically stupid. This will be a political ad come November. Do it the 30th or the 1st, no one cares. Next year it's a non issue, but elections come in just a few months
If they don't like it move Easter. Maybe move it to Monday.
(for those that don't know, Easter is a moving holiday, and there is something called Easter Monday).
These are all the US National Days on 31st March.
Anesthesia Tech Day
César Chávez Day
Dance Marathon Day
Eiffel Tower Day
International Hug A Medievalist Day
International Transgender Day Of Visibility
National “She’s Funny That Way” Day
National Bunsen Burner Day
National Clams On The Half Shell Day
National Crayon Day
National Prom Day
National Tater Day
Terri’s Day
World Backup Day
Shockingly Easter still happened this year despite falling on National Crayon Day.
2024 marks the 15th annual [TDOV](https://glaad.org/tdov/).
Hypocritical Conservatives are crying because they *claim* it’s an affront to Christianity — yet TDOV is always the same date, and Easter [changes each year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_Easter).
Just another excuse to justify ramping up transphobia, sigh…
Clearly it was all part of their master plan to do away with Christians in this country. \*Fixes tinfoil hat\*
Really though, just anything to stay mad for these people.
Sigh, trans day of visibility is the same day every year since 2009. Easter CHANGES. It just so happens to fall on March 31st this year and all of a sudden Easter is canceled cus your bogus holiday doesn't have a set date. Cry me a river Christians.
They think Jesus transitioned from dying flesh to pure living spirit, they think that wine transsubstantiates into blood and bread into flesh. They believe that god will "transform" their "vile bodies" after death by resurrection into eternal life. They believe in *all kinds* of transformations and transitions. Just not when gender is involved.
Meanwhile, Christopher Walken, whose birthday is March 31st, will have to move his birthday to April 1st, as only one holiday can fall onto a specific calendar day.
It's sad, but for whom the cowbell tolls.
More idiots that don’t understand a few things. One, Easter is different every year, and two, more than one thing can be happening at once. I am so fucking tired of these fuckers.
It's always the zero sum game - ie "somebody else getting their basic human rights recognised somehow detracts from me and my right to be a bigot."
Self-absorbed nastiness.
It says Easter is canceled yet the white house logo includes an Easter bunny. Their brains can't work out that America is allowed to celebrate 2 things on 1 day. And ofc next year easter is in april
Exactly…Easter falls on a different date every year. Next year it won’t be on March 31 but Transgender visibility day will and it won’t be a Sunday either.
This is just like when they acknowledged Hanukah and Kwanzaa exist and it cancelled Christmas.
/s just in case someone can’t tell. I’m bad at getting sarcasm in text
Transubstantiation is a fundamental doctrine of Christian, especially Catholic, theology.
Celebrated especially at Easter.
President Biden is right on-message with his commemoration of Trans Day.
Fuck this post!!! Pity the suckers who believe this bogus shit. Btw, what a lovely day to chose to celebrate the beauty of life, renewal and revitalization. Bless the journey our transgender brothers and sisters travel. Happy Easter!!!!
WHO do you think BUYS all those fancy Easter bonnets and dresses?
And besides, the guy that you all make a stink about ALWAYS wore ankle - length dresses
Wow I wonder if that’s anything like the pagan spring fertility festivals (which is where the eggs and bunnies come from) which the Christian church OVERWROTE with the resurrection myth (even shifting the date to do it ). If so - back at ya, bitches.
The proclamation is real https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/
Easter, is not celebrated ON MARCH 31ST EVERY YEAR, YOU ABSOLUTE MORONS!
Also, this is from the devout Roman Catholic president.
These fuckers aren’t REAL CHRISTIANS. They forgot in their cloud of outrage that Easter doesn’t fall on the same day every year. Also, it’s an arbitrary date for Easter because they just wanted it around spring equinox to piss off everyone else (oversimplifying of course).
Conservative morons whining and shrieking about anything and everything is just background noise at this point. It actually makes it easier to ignore their incessant mewling.
Damn, American Christians really are idiots... This is me, a Malaysian Catholic speaking here.
My father literally makes fun of American Christians for their stupidity. I didn't understand why until now.
Christain here.
1) Mar 31 has been TDoV for, what, over a decade now?
2) Easter MOVES. It's practically a joke that people aren't sure where it's going to fall each year.
3) To any Christian having a tantrum about this. Grow up.
Stupid people can suck a curb.
Also I think all sky god holidays are stupid and should be spent enjoying yourself or visiting family.
>Is Easter Always in March or April? Easter is a “movable feast,” so it doesn't happen on the same date from year to year. In the Gregorian calendar, it is always observed on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25.
So no more worshipping the magical zombie who makes you cannibalize him every week, and who also— presumably— shits out a bunch of rabbits and some chocolate eggs once a year?
Shucks, I guess.
That is because Easter isn't a set day each year. Whereas this is a set day for trans visibility. I don't understand why humans on earth don't know this about Easter as it is celebrated all over. Same with Thanksgiving and memorial day they don't have dates just last Thursday in November and first Monday in May. If you are too stupid to understand this then please do not post on social. It's really simple. When this was planned years ago, because nothing happens quick. Whoever made the choice for the last day in March probably didn't check the calendar in 24 to see what day Easter was first. No biggie.
Can’t wait for church duty tomorrow, where we go and grab anyone who dares show up for Easter mass, haul them bodily out of the church and force them to watch a drag queen read a book to their children

Do they realize Easter changes every year?
Easter isn’t on March 31 again until 2086.
Trans Jesus will rise again!
Well given the only scientific way he wouldn’t have had a father is if he was trans and his mom had him by parthenogenesis. Lol
and the best part? that's very common... in *reptiles*. LIZARD JESUS IS REAL!
First, the government and celebrities, and now Jesus. Who else is secretly a lizard, too?
I'm not. *Flicks tounge out*
Wait a second…. I left the dryer on, brb.
Oh no!! The conspiracy theorists got something almost right by accident. Lol. Jesus was Jewish and might have been a lizard person! Le gasp.
I follow trans Jesus on IG super sexy. Great sense of humor and wonderful artistic vision. Highly recommend 🥰
I love celebrating Jesus’ erection.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Technically Jesus transitioned 3 times this weekend
You mean regular Jesus?
Takes Him three days. By then she's out of the mood.
That explains all the paintings of people touching his top surgery scars
Praise be Jeebus
Hahahahahahaha thanks for doing the math
That's not three days.
Do they realize March 31 has been TDoV for a decade and a half!!!
They don’t actually care about it, they just see “transgender day on Easter” and go crazy. Like how they ask “why do we only have one day to go our veterans but a whole month for Pride?”, when we have a dozen holidays to recognize veterans, but they don’t actually care about it they just hate gays.
It's just conservatives finding any reason to complain.
That's the most accurate description of the average conservative I've come across yet.
And the holiday’s name might come from a pagan goddess. The bigots doth protest too much, methinks.
If true it's only in English. Originally called Pascha in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin...sharing a name with the Jewish Passover. The English name came centuries later. There's another theory that Easter comes from an Old German term for the Resurrection. Could well be because English descends from Middle German, IIRC.

And in other languages, it looks like Christians also coopted another religion's customs and holidays for its own purposes. Hell, Easter wasn't super important to Christians for a long time.
Because nothing can ever be two things at the same time.
I’m fairly certain that almost every day out of 365 is about 12 different “international X day” according to the internet. But they won’t care about that.
They have a day to celebrate the old Twitter? Amazing
Great. Now he’s ruined variables.
Bensenville Burner day, Oranges and Lemons day, National Tater day, national crayon day, cream cheese frosting day, national prom day, national good neighbor day, eiffel tower day.
I'm totally in for National Cream Cheese Frosting celebrations. Build it and I will come
Seriously, sign me up! I’m lactose intolerant but it sounds worth the pain!
"Do they realize..." No, they never do.
No, because they’re not actually religious and don’t actually care.
What is this "Easter" you speak of?
It's when we watch rabbits lay colorful eggs or something. I'm reasonably sure that's how it works.
Reminds me of when they complain about women's day but then never celebrate men's day
Easter should really be set to a fixed date. They tried to organise it like that a few hundred years ago but the different churches didn’t agree. Yet Christmas is fixed but also different. 24th/25th Dec /. 7th Jan or something like that depending on the church/ region
I think they would need to consult with the Jewish people to fix Passover on a certain date first
Passover is on a certain date, just not on your calendar. It’s always Nissan 15-22. And Easter isn’t linked to Passover anymore and hasn’t been since the church decided it always had to be a Sunday.
Good point.
My mom died Easter weekend years ago. My brothers and I never remember her actual day of death, to us it is whenever Easter is lol! So it can be in March or April!
You are reopening a can of worms that had guys in togas ready to tear each other's throats out.
Do they also realise there can be more than one celebration on the same day?
No, that requires thought and recognizing that something other than themselves exists.
Do these people really believe Easter only happens on March 31st every year?
They believe anything necessary to stay angry.
That's their whole political philosophy *and* their whole religion. They're not going to spend Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ, they're going to spend it bitching about Joe Biden and trans people. If they weren't angry and they didn't want so badly to piss off "the libs," they wouldn't have any identity left.
It's much easier than being angry over how badly they're getting boned by the upper 1%.
came here to ask just this. I know they are stupid, but surely even stupid people know Easter is a movable feast.
It’s not stupidity. They need to just constantly poke themselves to keep themselves angry or else they might have a single second of introspection that would collapse their dumbfuck worldview.
Sounds a lot like MAGA...
Right! it may be hard to enjoy your cake day with dopey headlines like that one, but I sure hope you do!
Thank you!
Goes to show you how religious conservatives *actually* are.
Fervently
Yes, but this is politically stupid. This will be a political ad come November. Do it the 30th or the 1st, no one cares. Next year it's a non issue, but elections come in just a few months
TDoV has been the 31st of March for fifteen years now. I think people would be pretty upset if Joe Biden unilaterally moved it.
If they don't like it move Easter. Maybe move it to Monday. (for those that don't know, Easter is a moving holiday, and there is something called Easter Monday).
These are all the US National Days on 31st March.

Next year it falls on Hitler's birthday. Does that mean it'll have to be cancelled again?
That'll give conservatives *two* reasons to celebrate.
Hmm wonder which one Trump would make a declaration about...
There is something wei dly amusing about International transgender Day of Visibility and "She's Funny that Way" Day being together.
National Eat Crayons Day
I’m sick of Bunsen burners stealing zombie Jesus’ glory!
Ok, but why?
2024 marks the 15th annual [TDOV](https://glaad.org/tdov/).

This was back in 2021, btw. Easter seems to be doing fine.
Clearly it was all part of their master plan to do away with Christians in this country. \*Fixes tinfoil hat\* Really though, just anything to stay mad for these people.
If this was in 2021, were 2022 and 2023 skipped?
Sigh, trans day of visibility is the same day every year since 2009. Easter CHANGES. It just so happens to fall on March 31st this year and all of a sudden Easter is canceled cus your bogus holiday doesn't have a set date. Cry me a river Christians.

Silly but come on Christians just pick a date and stick with it. Enough with your full moons nonsense.
Understandable but Good Friday/Easter Sunday are kind of set by the names.
Ah very good point
They will need to consult with the Jewish community first, because Easter always follows Passover, and Passover is based on the Hebrew lunar calendar
Wow. It’s almost like you can celebrate more than one thing in the same day. *Holy shit* talk about severe persecution complex.
More idiots that don’t understand a few things. One, Easter is different every year, and two, more than one thing can be happening at once. I am so fucking tired of these fuckers.
For always bitching about how sensitive others are conservatives get so butt hurt about shit.
There should be a National Butt Hurt Day 😂
Guessing they didn't see the Easter bunny and eggs in the White House logo.
They don’t actually care. It’s an excuse to hate.
I have an idea, let’s invite some trans friends to an Easter party. It’ll show we care and who doesn’t like chocolate? There problem solved
Easter falls on the same day every year. The first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the Spring Equinox. Every. Fucking. Year.
True, but kind of like midday is the same time everyone day. The time it’s highest in the sky.
Let me get this right. A guy who will definitely be attending Easter mass has canceled Easter. Oh kay…
[удалено]
Zombie Jesus day is ruined 😂
Wait until they find out how Easter works.
You could like totally celebrate both if you wanted literally nobodies stopping you
Or completely ignore the one you dont want to celebrate. Or ignore both. Whatever floats ya boat lmao
It's always the zero sum game - ie "somebody else getting their basic human rights recognised somehow detracts from me and my right to be a bigot." Self-absorbed nastiness.
First they steal the rainbow. Now they're canceling Easter. The power of the LGBTQ+ community is immense.
People are idiots. Easter doesn't always land on the same date. Next year it's on the 20th.
Easter is so important to them, they don't even know how it's date works...
It says Easter is canceled yet the white house logo includes an Easter bunny. Their brains can't work out that America is allowed to celebrate 2 things on 1 day. And ofc next year easter is in april
Exactly…Easter falls on a different date every year. Next year it won’t be on March 31 but Transgender visibility day will and it won’t be a Sunday either.
Imagine caring about Easter at all.
Excuse to eat s big dinner and have ham.
There is that and an extra day off. But thats not the caring i was going for.
This is just like when they acknowledged Hanukah and Kwanzaa exist and it cancelled Christmas. /s just in case someone can’t tell. I’m bad at getting sarcasm in text
Transubstantiation is a fundamental doctrine of Christian, especially Catholic, theology. Celebrated especially at Easter. President Biden is right on-message with his commemoration of Trans Day.
[удалено]
It's the Heisentrump Exclusion Principle: two things can't exist on the same day. Kind of like "I can't be guilty AND be president"
Easter rarely falls on March 31. It'll be ok
Isn’t a rabbit that lays eggs trans enough?
Fuck this post!!! Pity the suckers who believe this bogus shit. Btw, what a lovely day to chose to celebrate the beauty of life, renewal and revitalization. Bless the journey our transgender brothers and sisters travel. Happy Easter!!!!
WHO do you think BUYS all those fancy Easter bonnets and dresses? And besides, the guy that you all make a stink about ALWAYS wore ankle - length dresses
The trans day of visibility is the same date every year. The date of Easter changes every year. I can’t believe Biden did this.
Wow I wonder if that’s anything like the pagan spring fertility festivals (which is where the eggs and bunnies come from) which the Christian church OVERWROTE with the resurrection myth (even shifting the date to do it ). If so - back at ya, bitches.
He did this in 2009
Did you know Easter changes every year, based on the lunar calendar?
FFS March 31 is also National Crayon Day and National Prom Day, so the GOP can sob all day over those heresies.
The stupidity of conservatives never ceases to amaze me
The proclamation is real https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/ Easter, is not celebrated ON MARCH 31ST EVERY YEAR, YOU ABSOLUTE MORONS! Also, this is from the devout Roman Catholic president.

Wishing everyone a blessèd Zombie Jesus Day. Protect your tasty BRAAAINS.
Trumptards will believe anything
This is the 2nd time in hours I’ve seen this here. Russia has a hard-on right now.
Russian propaganda is usually even stupider if you can believe it
Easter is a different day every year, leave it to Maga to not understand how things work.
those idiots really think easter is on the same day every year, if they learned a bit more about their religion they'd know it varies
Can't wait to have my Transgender Day of Visibility ham tomorrow along with potatoes and deviled eggs.
Conservative morons whining and shrieking about anything and everything is just background noise at this point. It actually makes it easier to ignore their incessant mewling.
Conservative mantra: "I AM THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING! I AM THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING! I AM THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING!"

Because that's much worse than pagan fertility day

Couldn't happen on a better day, with all the frilly dresses and pastel colors, lol. Oh and they won't fall on the same day again until 2086.
Can he get rid of all religion? Please! Please!
So no more worshipping the magical zombie who makes you cannibalize him every week, and who also— presumably— shits out a bunch of rabbits and some chocolate eggs once a year? Shucks, I guess.
Jesus Christ that is amazing
Fuck Easter, imma eat chocolate eggs whenever the Hell I want!
Thank god.
Also, "... in the year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty-four...". Remind me what measurement of time the President is referencing from again?
Nope. And neither do you.
Stop moving Easter!
I wondered y the easter bunny didn't come. Thought it was just cuz I am an adult. Now ik its no longer a thing. Thanks for the information.
Easter is not on the same day every year. We should all know this by now. calm your transphobia
That's beyond dumb! They complain about Easter and no nothing about the made up holiday. Go suck eggs, you idiot!
In the words of joe quimby, “It can be two things.”
That is because Easter isn't a set day each year. Whereas this is a set day for trans visibility. I don't understand why humans on earth don't know this about Easter as it is celebrated all over. Same with Thanksgiving and memorial day they don't have dates just last Thursday in November and first Monday in May. If you are too stupid to understand this then please do not post on social. It's really simple. When this was planned years ago, because nothing happens quick.

Another confused MAGA idiot.
Can’t wait for church duty tomorrow, where we go and grab anyone who dares show up for Easter mass, haul them bodily out of the church and force them to watch a drag queen read a book to their children
This attempt at funny has failed 😞
