Thanks to your post I learned something

First, I’m one hundred percent with you until the end. I’m just not sure how trans day being on Easter has anything to do with Ukraine policy. I didn’t even know a trans day existed until this year but here is something I learned after a google search:

1.Trans day of visibility has been a thing for a few years now
2. It’s always been celebrated on March 31st

So it’s not so much that trans day is raining on Easter’s parade as the opposite. Much like Valentines Day was ruined by being Ash Wednesday this year. The issue is more to do with Easter and its day being determined by a lunar calendar which makes it look like it staggers around like a drunken sailor on our solar calendar.
