This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thanks to your post I learned something by vermin05

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.
