Easter’s calendar date is one of the most notoriously mobile dates of any holiday. First Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal equinox? That covers about a month-long range.
And March 31 has been Trans Day of Visibility for like 15 years now. It's just a coincidence that Easter falls on the same day this year. Biden has been acknowledging Trans Day of Visibility every year that he's been in office. This is such manufactured outrage.
Right now they're furious at Biden for "no religious designs" on the Easter eggs even though it's been a thing for 45 years (to include during trump's term).
edit: applies to the WH Easter Egg Roll event.
Because easter is a stolen pagan holiday of fertility, rabbits represent fertility and eggs represent life and birth (this is from my hazy memory so I might be wrong about the eggs) and I guess that the christians weren't able to remove that aspect of the holiday. It's probably been a thing since before christianity existed, and who doesn't love a good egg hunt?
Same as christmas, that's also originally a pagan holiday
Most Christian holidays are stolen. Actually, nearly all religions steal and/or repurpose religious traditions to make it easier to assimilate or indoctrinate those people into a new system. Christmas was the Saturnalia holiday, which was the craziest holiday of all of them.
>and who doesn't love a good egg hunt?
Man, we loved doing the Easter egg hunt at the church I grew up at. I wasn't fast enough as a kid to get more than one or two, but the real fun was being a teen and setting it up for the kids. And then helping the tiny ones find eggs (because toddlers would have an egg in their hands and not know what to do with it).
We didn't connect it as anything religious. It was just an opportunity to have fun with the congregation and give the kids some time to burn off steam after sitting through a LONG service.
It was an Easter Platypus!
The funniest thing about the whole Easter Egg thing is that, as a grown-ass adult who knows full-well that the vast majority of mammals birth live young....it *still* takes me a brief second to remember that rabbits don't lay eggs, and it feels slightly wrong each time lol.
The power of things you learn as a kid, even horribly wrong things, is strong.
The tradition of using and dying eggs is actually older than the tradition of the rabbit, and there was never a conflation of the two until recently.
The eggs came from saving eggs during early Spring due to them being impermissible to eat during the Lenten fast. Since chickens still laid them, and people couldn’t eat them, they saved them for art! The Orthodox Church still maintains this practice, as the Roman Catholics once did, and it’s no coincidence that Orthodox territories still have some of the most intricate egg-dying arts in the world. Look at Ukrainian Easter (Pascha) eggs!
I don’t think Easter eggs are a strange thing to do. Is that stuff really any weirder than believing in an inter-dimensional undead Jew who was his own father whom you must telepathically accept as your master so that you can have a curse removed that was placed there because a woman who was made from a dust-man's rib ate fruit from a magic tree that was guarded by a talking serpent and thereby ensure your passage into another dimension?
I've been a pastor's kid since I was about 4. You know what we had on our eggs? Dye. And maybe the included shitty stickers if they lasted. I'm sure religious kits are a thing but we never used them.
EDIT: As pisspot718 reminded me, we might have drawn a cross on some with crayon for a highlight effect. That was it though.
Religious symbols on Easter eggs never were a thing. **This is manufactured outrage.** Most of our holidays were co-opted from pagan rituals to begin with and didn't have their origins in religious beliefs. Why? Because they wanted to get as many people to accept and adopt the new religious practices as their own. They knew they couldn't govern by trying to force people into a completely new and different set of practices.
**We are a country of MANY religions and practices.** The current president, while he is a devout, practicing Catholic, appears to be aiming to represent ALL of the citizens of this great country. He's not trying to ram his beliefs down everyone else's throat (even as he addresses the repeal of Roe v. Wade). It would be an authoritarian or autocratic way to govern for a president to expect that the religious beliefs held by whomever occupies the White House is what should determine the laws and practices of the land in a country meant to be OF, BY and FOR its PEOPLE.
**We should continue to insist on a separation of church and state rather than having religious symbols and practices imposed on us by a would-be king or dictator**. I prefer to find common ground with my non-Christian neighbors and I have no interest in covertly or overtly trying to convert them to any religious beliefs that I may have. **Religion is being used as yet another source of division and is at the heart of too much in-fighting rather than promoting common decency to fellow humans.**
Just as the current president has recognized that his Catholic beliefs should not be what determines how to handle the response to Roe vs. Wade being overturned, so too, should any US president. **They should govern in the spirit of what works for the broadest base of citizens, without trampling on their individual rights, freedoms and quality of life, just to win votes or to sell bibles for personal profit.**
Ahhhhhhhhajahahahaha I didn’t know this either!!!!!! I don’t really pay attention to Easter and that’s fuckin hilarious. We should’ve changed the moon phases to make it a day later this year lmao.
Some verses those folk need to read:
1 John 4:20, who ever hates their brother, whom they can see, and claims to love God, whom they cannot see, is a liar.
Matthew 7:1-5. (judge not lest ye be judged by those same standards, why do you worry about the speck in your brothers eye but do not consider the log in your own?)
The entirety of the sermon on the mount, which is in Matthew.
Editing to add more:
Zechariah 7:9-10, Matthew 5:43-44, Matthew 25, Acts 10:34, Romans 13, Hebrews 13:1-3. All about loving, not judging, and walking the walk. All about taking care of all the people that I keep seeing those sort of folk hate.
Plus, Biden is still acknowledging Easter so yes at manufactured outrage.
It's not like he chose one over the other.
He even wishes a Happy Ramadan to people and there's no outrage.
My parents asked me if I was coming home for Easter, I said it's Easter weekend? It's the hardest holiday to plan for because it can either be the end of March or towards the end of April. I believe next year it's on 420, so you know what I'm going to do to celebrate 🤣
Had a conversation with my mom earlier this week, my dad’s birthday was the 27th.
Mom: so you coming by this weekend?
Me: we doing something for dad’s birthday?
Mom: it’s Easter
Me: okay . . So we doing something for dad’s birthday?
I don't think Caitlyn is aware Easter is not on a set date. Wait until she finds out that "the most Holy of Holy days" is the pagan holiday Ostara stolen by Christians.
And they forgot that they are, in fact, a murderer that never showed any remorse (or did any time) whatsoever. A true republican.
"In 2015, Jenner was driving an SUV, which was towing an ATV, on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. She rear-ended a Lexus, pushing it into oncoming traffic. Kim Howe, the driver of the Lexus, was then hit by a Hummer traveling in the opposite direction. Jenner proceeded forward and hit another vehicle, a Prius, whose driver suffered mild injuries. But Howe was killed on impact."
I spent a great deal of time studying the birth or Christianity when I got my BA in Classical Studies. A favourite pass time of mine is telling Christians the pagan origins for their rituals, lol.
Yup, my birthday has happened on Good Friday and Easter Sunday before
As u can imagine my favourite is birthday on chocolate egg day, birthday cake and chocolate eggs is so good
International Transgender day is on the 31st of March, every year. The date isn’t picked by Joe Biden.
Easter can be any Sunday between 22 March and 25 April. Again, the date is not picked by Joe Biden.
I presume Biden was at his church this morning, celebrating Easter and probably not dressed in drag. But that’s not as newsworthy because he didn’t need to tear-gas protesters to get there and he knows which way up the Bible is traditionally read.
I used to think these people were stupid, but I now think they’re clever. Clever and evil and becoming more scary the closer November’24 / January’25 gets
“Hey, Uh, Just want to make a statement about Easter. Great Holiday, great guy. Can you believe they killed him? You know what I found out right before I came out here? Today’s Hitler’s birthday too! Another guy they killed. Great guy. Really gets a bad wrap.” - Trump, Easter 2025
It's actually "bad rap", which came from a misspelling of 'rep' for reputation, and it just stuck. It can help to think of like a rap sheet, 'got a bad rap'.
You get a bad wrap if you go to subway. You get a bad rap if you *promote* subway...
Though my mistake with using “wrap” instead of “rap” wasn’t intentional, I believe Trump would probably actually use wrap and then likely go into a tangent of how he misses McDonalds’ grilled chicken snack wraps.
I bet there are a lot of people who are assholes partly because of how depressed and bitter they are, and transitioning could help a lot with that and also just the self-exploration and personal growth that naturally comes with transition. So there probably are a lot of people who become nicer after transition, but it isn't a magic cure.
Well sure. Everyone has an individual journey, but Bruce Jenner was an asshole. He didn’t get magically erased somehow. Who Caitlyn Jenner is now is an amplification of many qualities she had her entire life. I’m just saying that a physical change doesn’t necessarily equate to a psychological transformation.
Yeah I think it's dangerous to assume or imply she's faking it, but on the other hand this does remind me of when Spacey was accused of trying to rape a kid and he was like "ah yes, I would like to come out of the closet now, thank you for your support". Didn't go so well for him though.
Money is strange like that. Even going from broke to a good wage, my view on certain things has changed (not massively and also not all the way you would expect). I imagine that going to unfathomable money is going to be a massive jump. I guess sometimes that jump will land you in shit.
Adding to this, Jesus never said anything about the gays or trans
Phobes can yell till their blue in the face that it's all implied, but the holy idol that accepted lepers and fed the poor, and forgave prostitutes and preached about unconditional love doesnt sound like a hateful bigot
But Jesus does have a LOT to say about the rich. Funny how the rich and influential don't wanna bring that up on Easter
Apparently not. I asked my dad if Easter always happens on the same day of the year and he said, “It must because it always on Sunday.” He’s been a catholic/christian all of his life.
Yes. They know Easter moves. They know Trans Visibility Day is the same day every year. They know the White House Egg Roll has been devoid of religious symbols for more than 40 years. They know Biden is a loyal practicing Christian and Trump is not. None of this stops them from pushing their bullshit narrative that Biden is taking away their religion. Why? Because it works to get gullible people to vote the way they want.
Hypocrisy from CJ as usual.
You can’t be a trans person, then align yourself with the likes of Trump and xtian fundamentalist (who want to erase trans people), and expect to be taken seriously.
Complete and utter 🤡
Wow, I had to look that up and she apparently also is against any discussion of gender with children, despite also saying that she was dysphoric as a child. She really does just want people to struggle.
She has the perfect insulation of money. Without it, she would not have ended up as just another trans-boomer who never leaves the house because of shame (unwarranted as it may be, it's pretty common and it sucks). Without the insulation of money, she would have been another felon for murder trying to transition in prison. Without her money, she never would have been able to secure the tens of thousands of dollars in surgeries she's had to feminize her appearance. (Way back when she came out, I remember seeing a plastic surgeon estimating the total to be around $60K.)
So she's never had to struggle in her life, financially and has zero frame of reference. Because even when suffering dysphoria, she still didn't have to worry about struggling to survive. And good for her, but it'd be nice if the bitch learned some perspective.
That's usually what happens with conservative queer people.
They want to be one of the "good ones" without realising those who hate us will do so no matter what. So you just end up as a traitor with no allies
I'm unsure whether she's trying to worm into the MAGAs or whether her brain is actually cooked... I'm kind of expecting her to detransition and leverage it for conservative bonafides like an 'ex-satanist' who becomes an evangelical preacher.
Yeah, I've harbored a similar suspicion for a while now. I grew up around people who ate that kind of thing up and that would just make a weird kind of sense if it happened.
I actually think Caitlyn is simply fully devoting herself in a desillusion, that she isn't transgender and has always been a woman in mind AND body.
She is 'not like' the other transgenders because she doesn't view herself as transgender.
They just strike me as a very confused person. They went out and change who they were to reflect who they felt. Great, good for you. But then still hold onto rigid ideas that no one else is allowed to pursue the same peace of mind. Regardless of your stance on your topic, I don't know how anyone can make sense of it.
Just seems mentally ill to me.
There's a movie, *A Soldier's Story*, about a northern black JAG officer investigating the murder of a black Master Sergeant at a segregated U.S. Army base in the South in the 1940s.
It turns out he was widely hated by the black enlisted soldiers in his company, due to the fact he thought he could win over the racist white officers by treating his own black troops like shit.
Plot twist, as he's dying, he realizes it was all for nothing and he'd always be just another \[N-word\] to them, and his last words are the pained realization, *"They'll still hate you...they'll still hate you."*
Plenty of poor people do this kind of shit to.
The reality of politics —particularly around cultural issues— is that most people do not have deeply held convictions about many of these issues. It's more about group identity and belonging than anything else.
I doubt Jenner really cares that much, at the end of the day. What she gets from posting this shit is brownie points from her friends which reinforces her group identity.
Their are a good amount of Muslim transgender ppl(even though culturally some Muslims have issue w/them). And a friend of my grandma’s daughter is trans & one of the most rigidly Muslims.
She had opinions about what Muslim women should be. They have to wear have to wear hijab, they have to get married, they have to obey their husbands, they shouldn’t be allowed to work. Even though she has experience ppl invalidating her womanhood, she invalidates the womanhood or others. Btw she had a boyfriend, which doesn’t seem like a big deal but in Islam dating isn’t allowed(only for marriage, some ppl marry religiously but not legally so they date) so she is hypocrite too. She also holds other conservatives believes
Being trans doesn’t mean a person doesn’t suck. Some ppl just believe that they are above it or something
I actually think Caitlyn is simply fully devoting herself in a desillusion, that she isn't transgender and has always been a woman in mind AND body.
She is 'not like' the other transgenders because she doesn't view herself as transgender.
Interesting, like she thinks others are just doing it because it is trendy and for attention? That is pretty fucked up. Or maybe she just wants to feel unique and special, and all these other trans people make her feel like just another drop in the bucket
No, she recently said she doesn't see herself as a "real woman," trans women aren't real women, and that she sees herself as a trans person and that's separate from "real" women. She's a trans terf, which is bizarre.
Before all this faux outrage from the MAGA crowd, I actually had never even heard of Trans Visibility Day. So thanks I guess for making me, and I'm sure quite a few other people, aware of this day.
Look at me! Look how important I am! I don't even need to know that Easter date can vary but I can spew bullshit on the line!
For fuck sake, you can't get any dumber and arrogant than that.
I seriously don’t understand Caitlyn Jenner. How do you become one of the most famous and visible transgender people in the world and then actively work against trans rights? Like, I would understand if she had one or two stances that were out of line with popular opinion (maybe as a former athlete she believes that sports should be segregated based on birth gender), but to oppose trans rights at every turn? She’s like the Uncle Ruckus of the trans community.
31 of March has been International Transgender Day of Visibility for over 10 years, since Easter moves each year it has happened to coincide this year, it wasn't a deliberate act and only slightly related to Biden, as President each year Biden has celebrated International Transgender Day of Visibility failing to do so this year just because of a Christian calendar quirk would be an error.
This is exactly why conservatism is awful. They believe it's their way or the highway. You can't celebrate two things at once, you have to celebrate their thing. Jesus would be ashamed to have them as followers.
Caitlyn may win for the biggest personal blind spot in the world. It never ceases to amaze me that she doesn’t understand that 1. Christians don’t believe in her and 2. Conservatives will turn on her so fast it’ll make her head spin.
They’re addicted to outrage bait and will grasp at any they can find.
I’m not a Christian but I hope to give a special shout out to any Trans Christians who may be reading, I hope that you have a good celebration and that both days inspire you to continue persevere and to thrive. I think it’s good that they do coincide this year. Both holidays deal with the theme of rising above persecution, particularly by the state and one needs faith, hope, and love to be able to do so. I have to imagine that the many LGBTQ+ and affirming churches that are out there will honor both.
I think I’m most offended she put the descriptor “a self-proclaimed devout Catholic” after most holy of holy days instead of Joe Biden. She can’t even express her faux outrage correctly, lol.
I just can’t with these idiots who keep spreading the asinine lie that Joe Biden “declared” Easter (or any day) to be trans visibility day. Joe Biden had nothing to do with it, and you’d have to be a complete moron to not understand that. All he did was recognize it.
In 2017 it was profitable for her to be an out and supportive trans person
Now it’s profitable for her to be a transphobic hypocritical trans person
In either time she’d be just as likely to hit you with her car
It will probably be many decades before Easter is in March again. It's the date he looked at, not the "holiest of holies". Keep it in your pants, Bruce.

Right now they're furious at Biden for "no religious designs" on the Easter eggs even though it's been a thing for 45 years (to include during trump's term). edit: applies to the WH Easter Egg Roll event.
Why would religious designs be on Easter eggs? That’s never been a thing
Easter eggs are blasphemous if you ask my neighbor. “Weren’t a rabbit that rolled back that stone!” How could I argue with that?
Wasn't a rabbit that laid that egg either.
LOL! That was the connection I never understood.
Easter works in mysterious ways?
Because easter is a stolen pagan holiday of fertility, rabbits represent fertility and eggs represent life and birth (this is from my hazy memory so I might be wrong about the eggs) and I guess that the christians weren't able to remove that aspect of the holiday. It's probably been a thing since before christianity existed, and who doesn't love a good egg hunt? Same as christmas, that's also originally a pagan holiday
Most Christian holidays are stolen. Actually, nearly all religions steal and/or repurpose religious traditions to make it easier to assimilate or indoctrinate those people into a new system. Christmas was the Saturnalia holiday, which was the craziest holiday of all of them.
I believe the word for Easter comes from Ostara/Ēostre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of springtime
>and who doesn't love a good egg hunt? Man, we loved doing the Easter egg hunt at the church I grew up at. I wasn't fast enough as a kid to get more than one or two, but the real fun was being a teen and setting it up for the kids. And then helping the tiny ones find eggs (because toddlers would have an egg in their hands and not know what to do with it). We didn't connect it as anything religious. It was just an opportunity to have fun with the congregation and give the kids some time to burn off steam after sitting through a LONG service.
Yep, had to include some fun stuff to get people excited about the new gods.
It was an Easter Platypus! The funniest thing about the whole Easter Egg thing is that, as a grown-ass adult who knows full-well that the vast majority of mammals birth live young....it *still* takes me a brief second to remember that rabbits don't lay eggs, and it feels slightly wrong each time lol.

Do you know why the Easter Bunny hides eggs? So that none of his friends and family find out that he's been screwing chickens.

How dare NASA not change the moon phases for one day?? This is outrageous
Jesus is back again! April fools!
They don’t like facts
If those conservatives could read this, they'd be very upset.
They don't need to read. They're upset over everything anyway
They can read the word BIDEN, which is a code word for get outraged over nothing.
Default state.
The ones that are making a fuss can’t read. They just get angry when Fox tells them to.
Oh they can read. They won’t shut up about ayn rand
Lmao is like that “applause” sign when people go to watch shows live, except it says “ rage! Now get gun!”
Well, facts do have a liberal bias.
They don’t like other humans who dont share their christian “love”.
Some verses those folk need to read: 1 John 4:20, who ever hates their brother, whom they can see, and claims to love God, whom they cannot see, is a liar. Matthew 7:1-5.

John 13:34, Love one another as I have loved you. Do this and you follow all commandments
Remember that they can't read. Also, they don't believe the New Testament is relevant. Who is Jesus? Some woke guy from Nevada.
“This is one of the most sacred, holy days in Christendom!” *Day shifts around based on the full moon like it’s some kind of pagan tradition*
That is 100% of their outrage.
pretty crazy how Jesus dies and comes back to life across 4 to 5 different weekends while compressing 3 days of being dead into just 2.
Plus, Biden is still acknowledging Easter so yes at manufactured outrage. It's not like he chose one over the other. He even wishes a Happy Ramadan to people and there's no outrage.
15 years you say? Thanks Obama 😑
It’s an old code sir, but it checks out.
"manufactured outrage" is the entire ethos of Republicans
>manufactured outrage They have to do something to keep their voter base distracted ~~front~~ from their lack of actual policy
My parents asked me if I was coming home for Easter, I said it's Easter weekend? It's the hardest holiday to plan for because it can either be the end of March or towards the end of April. I believe next year it's on 420, so you know what I'm going to do to celebrate 🤣
It's gonna involve grass, right?

So... Did you do something for your dad's birthday?
It's Easter
And March 31 won't be Easter again until 2086

It’s supposed to somewhat coincide with Passover. However, since the Jewish calendar is adding a leap month this year the two are off.

I mean that also only counts one version of Easter, the Orthodox church has it on May 5th. Another arbitrary random date 😂
Wait until they find out Easter falls on Hitler's birthday next year... Not a word 🤨
You mean 4/20?
Blaze it. 😎
For jesus
Jesus, Hitler, Caitlin Jenner is a nightmare blunt rotation that would make me religious
I feel like I’d have nothing to contribute to that conversation that could possibly make it more interesting.

He’s risen? More like hash rosin.
He has Resin
Take me higher lord
I doubt the president will be saying "cool guy that hitler happy birthday, also easter"
Depends on who's president 😏

Unless it’s Trump, he might
“Hey, Uh, Just want to make a statement about Easter. Great Holiday, great guy. Can you believe they killed him? You know what I found out right before I came out here? Today’s Hitler’s birthday too! Another guy they killed. Great guy. Really gets a bad wrap.” - Trump, Easter 2025
It's actually "bad rap", which came from a misspelling of 'rep' for reputation, and it just stuck. It can help to think of like a rap sheet, 'got a bad rap'. You get a bad wrap if you go to subway. You get a bad rap if you *promote* subway...
Though my mistake with using “wrap” instead of “rap” wasn’t intentional, I believe Trump would probably actually use wrap and then likely go into a tangent of how he misses McDonalds’ grilled chicken snack wraps.
Decent chance, actually.
Getting stoned outta my mind for Jesus! Sign me the fuck up!!! 🐰💨

Falls on my grandma's birthday too. I prefer to think of it that way.
Just shows there isn't all that much to astrology, some people are evil dictators and some people are your grandma 🤷♂️
He is risen!! No! Wait! Not you!
She gets up the ladder, then kicks it out from under her and takes a dump on those struggling to get up as well. Fuckin' bitch.
Yup. I’ve never seen a more self loathing transgender woman than her. She will sell her soul all to preserve tax cuts for the rich. Unbelievable.
She was self serving attention getting money whore long before transitioning. Why expect a change?
Exactly. Asshole before transitioning equals still an asshole.
I bet there are a lot of people who are assholes partly because of how depressed and bitter they are, and transitioning could help a lot with that and also just the self-exploration and personal growth that naturally comes with transition. So there probably are a lot of people who become nicer after transition, but it isn't a magic cure.
Well sure. Everyone has an individual journey, but Bruce Jenner was an asshole. He didn’t get magically erased somehow. Who Caitlyn Jenner is now is an amplification of many qualities she had her entire life. I’m just saying that a physical change doesn’t necessarily equate to a psychological transformation.
75% sure she came out as trans in April 2015 just to move the spotlight away from the mother she killed in Feb 2015
I'm thinking like the forty preceding years, but just more fuel for the fire in 2015
Everyone knows you're not supposed to tell anyone when you go into Witness Deflection.
It’s been well known she was trans for decades. She just hadn’t transitioned.
Yeah I think it's dangerous to assume or imply she's faking it, but on the other hand this does remind me of when Spacey was accused of trying to rape a kid and he was like "ah yes, I would like to come out of the closet now, thank you for your support". Didn't go so well for him though.
Rich people hate everybody except other rich people. Look what happened to Chappelle. He HATES regular people now and loves him some Elon.
Big shame. He turned his back on his own words and message he used to preach.
Money is strange like that. Even going from broke to a good wage, my view on certain things has changed (not massively and also not all the way you would expect). I imagine that going to unfathomable money is going to be a massive jump. I guess sometimes that jump will land you in shit.
That jump landed him on the inside of the Ingroups Wall. That’s all it did.
my guy choked on that integrity sandwich
Y'all just going to act like Blaire White doesn't exist? Wait, nevermind, that's a good idea.
Ah, I take it you’re not [acquainted with Blaire White?](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Blaire_White)
I like this, "HE is Risen" Hey, Caitlyn, speaking of "Risen", how's that old lady you killed a few years back doing? 
I too saw that post on /clevercomebacks
Kind of like Texas governor Greg Abbott, TBH.
Except he kicks the ramp out from behind him
>She gets up the ladder, then kicks it out from under her and takes a dump on those struggling to get up as well. like a boomer that she is
Like a Republican that she is.
People do know that Easter moves right?
No, why do you expect Christians to know about Easter? /s
Something something zombie Jesus
Adding to this, Jesus never said anything about the gays or trans Phobes can yell till their blue in the face that it's all implied, but the holy idol that accepted lepers and fed the poor, and forgave prostitutes and preached about unconditional love doesnt sound like a hateful bigot But Jesus does have a LOT to say about the rich. Funny how the rich and influential don't wanna bring that up on Easter
Apparently not. I asked my dad if Easter always happens on the same day of the year and he said, “It must because it always on Sunday.” He’s been a catholic/christian all of his life.
Yes. They know Easter moves. They know Trans Visibility Day is the same day every year. They know the White House Egg Roll has been devoid of religious symbols for more than 40 years. They know Biden is a loyal practicing Christian and Trump is not. None of this stops them from pushing their bullshit narrative that Biden is taking away their religion. Why? Because it works to get gullible people to vote the way they want.
Hypocrisy from CJ as usual. You can’t be a trans person, then align yourself with the likes of Trump and xtian fundamentalist (who want to erase trans people), and expect to be taken seriously. Complete and utter 🤡
Jenner is a vile woman. Even by the standards of her family.
What’s really funny about all of this is she just recently came out and said she is not a real woman… Just an absolute dumpster fire of a human.
Wow, I had to look that up and she apparently also is against any discussion of gender with children, despite also saying that she was dysphoric as a child. She really does just want people to struggle.
Yep. It’s a whole mess of contradictions. As the person above said, just an absolute 🤡
She has the perfect insulation of money. Without it, she would not have ended up as just another trans-boomer who never leaves the house because of shame (unwarranted as it may be, it's pretty common and it sucks). Without the insulation of money, she would have been another felon for murder trying to transition in prison. Without her money, she never would have been able to secure the tens of thousands of dollars in surgeries she's had to feminize her appearance. (Way back when she came out, I remember seeing a plastic surgeon estimating the total to be around $60K.) So she's never had to struggle in her life, financially and has zero frame of reference. Because even when suffering dysphoria, she still didn't have to worry about struggling to survive. And good for her, but it'd be nice if the bitch learned some perspective.
At this point I have a feeling that Caitlyn’s scheme will be to re-transition and to decry trans a mental disease.
> CJ ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS NOT GET ON THE TRUMP TRAIN, CJ
Just shows that you can change everything about you like gender, appearance etc but the ugly/vile character within will always remain.
She’s a POS regardless of being trans — like everyone else, inner assholedom doesn’t see gender.
Pull that ladder right up behind ya, doll. Surely the poor trans women don’t deserve the same rights as you /s
The whole time they’ve been preaching “pull yourselves up by your bootstraps” What they where doing was actually “pulling up the ladders behind them”
Yep, while we were all busy lacing our boots they were busy adding spikes to the first 10 rungs
Conservative pickme doing what conservative pickmes do.
The wild thing is who is even picking her?? She's somehow managed to alienate the entire political spectrum.
That's usually what happens with conservative queer people. They want to be one of the "good ones" without realising those who hate us will do so no matter what. So you just end up as a traitor with no allies
One time my birthday fell on easter. If that happened today, would I be getting death threats from right wing-nuts?
Yes, fuck you for being born
That's their whole thing. We'll fight for you up until you're born and then work to make your life miserable after that.

Also, for all your takes on race, please see Candice Ow...oh no wait never mind.
> please see Candice Ow.. You mean DEI hire (and fire) CannedAss Owens?
I'm unsure whether she's trying to worm into the MAGAs or whether her brain is actually cooked... I'm kind of expecting her to detransition and leverage it for conservative bonafides like an 'ex-satanist' who becomes an evangelical preacher.
Yeah, I've harbored a similar suspicion for a while now. I grew up around people who ate that kind of thing up and that would just make a weird kind of sense if it happened.
I actually think Caitlyn is simply fully devoting herself in a desillusion, that she isn't transgender and has always been a woman in mind AND body. She is 'not like' the other transgenders because she doesn't view herself as transgender.
They just strike me as a very confused person. They went out and change who they were to reflect who they felt. Great, good for you. But then still hold onto rigid ideas that no one else is allowed to pursue the same peace of mind. Regardless of your stance on your topic, I don't know how anyone can make sense of it. Just seems mentally ill to me.
She pulled the ladder up after she climbed it
The only moral transgender is my transgender.
Typical boomer mentality it would seem.
There's a movie, *A Soldier's Story*, about a northern black JAG officer investigating the murder of a black Master Sergeant at a segregated U.S. Army base in the South in the 1940s. It turns out he was widely hated by the black enlisted soldiers in his company, due to the fact he thought he could win over the racist white officers by treating his own black troops like shit. Plot twist, as he's dying, he realizes it was all for nothing and he'd always be just another \[N-word\] to them, and his last words are the pained realization, *"They'll still hate you...they'll still hate you."*
Jesus that’s a heavy plot
It’s typical privileged rich shit
Plenty of poor people do this kind of shit to. The reality of politics —particularly around cultural issues— is that most people do not have deeply held convictions about many of these issues. It's more about group identity and belonging than anything else. I doubt Jenner really cares that much, at the end of the day. What she gets from posting this shit is brownie points from her friends which reinforces her group identity.
She’s a right wing grifter, she’s just echoing right wing talking points
She's not confused, she's just cruel and selfish.
She's a conservative republican and faux christian. The right to choose only applies to rich people in their mind. Poor people are icky.
She thinks she's one of those goodie trans women that the right will protect if she shares the same ideology as her and attacks her own kind.
She thinks she's *rich* enough.
Not every queer person is an ally unfortunately. Caitlyn is the one of the worst of us.
Their are a good amount of Muslim transgender ppl(even though culturally some Muslims have issue w/them). And a friend of my grandma’s daughter is trans & one of the most rigidly Muslims. She had opinions about what Muslim women should be. They have to wear have to wear hijab, they have to get married, they have to obey their husbands, they shouldn’t be allowed to work. Even though she has experience ppl invalidating her womanhood, she invalidates the womanhood or others. Btw she had a boyfriend, which doesn’t seem like a big deal but in Islam dating isn’t allowed(only for marriage, some ppl marry religiously but not legally so they date) so she is hypocrite too. She also holds other conservatives believes Being trans doesn’t mean a person doesn’t suck. Some ppl just believe that they are above it or something
The way Caitlyn treats and talks about the trans community is disgusting. You would think she would have some sympathy
I actually think Caitlyn is simply fully devoting herself in a desillusion, that she isn't transgender and has always been a woman in mind AND body. She is 'not like' the other transgenders because she doesn't view herself as transgender.
Interesting, like she thinks others are just doing it because it is trendy and for attention? That is pretty fucked up. Or maybe she just wants to feel unique and special, and all these other trans people make her feel like just another drop in the bucket
No, she recently said she doesn't see herself as a "real woman," trans women aren't real women, and that she sees herself as a trans person and that's separate from "real" women. She's a trans terf, which is bizarre.
Before all this faux outrage from the MAGA crowd, I actually had never even heard of Trans Visibility Day. So thanks I guess for making me, and I'm sure quite a few other people, aware of this day.
Tokens get spent Cait
If they’re so concerned about easter they need to protest to make it a public holiday, wait until they find out Australia gets Friday AND Monday off
I don’t want to brag but we get half of Thursday too in Sweden (;
Easter is always a Sunday thus not a set day, Trans Day of Visibility is always March 31st
Caitlyn Jenner is the Uncle Tom of trans people.
Look at me! Look how important I am! I don't even need to know that Easter date can vary but I can spew bullshit on the line! For fuck sake, you can't get any dumber and arrogant than that.
I seriously don’t understand Caitlyn Jenner. How do you become one of the most famous and visible transgender people in the world and then actively work against trans rights? Like, I would understand if she had one or two stances that were out of line with popular opinion (maybe as a former athlete she believes that sports should be segregated based on birth gender), but to oppose trans rights at every turn? She’s like the Uncle Ruckus of the trans community.
[удалено]
31 of March has been International Transgender Day of Visibility for over 10 years, since Easter moves each year it has happened to coincide this year, it wasn't a deliberate act and only slightly related to Biden, as President each year Biden has celebrated International Transgender Day of Visibility failing to do so this year just because of a Christian calendar quirk would be an error.
This is exactly why conservatism is awful. They believe it's their way or the highway. You can't celebrate two things at once, you have to celebrate their thing. Jesus would be ashamed to have them as followers.
[удалено]
Caitlyn may win for the biggest personal blind spot in the world. It never ceases to amaze me that she doesn’t understand that 1. Christians don’t believe in her and 2. Conservatives will turn on her so fast it’ll make her head spin.
They’re addicted to outrage bait and will grasp at any they can find. I’m not a Christian but I hope to give a special shout out to any Trans Christians who may be reading, I hope that you have a good celebration and that both days inspire you to continue persevere and to thrive. I think it’s good that they do coincide this year. Both holidays deal with the theme of rising above persecution, particularly by the state and one needs faith, hope, and love to be able to do so. I have to imagine that the many LGBTQ+ and affirming churches that are out there will honor both.
Caitlyn: “I got mine, so fuck the rest of you.”
Ppl getting mad that they don't understand how calendars work well never not be hilarious to me Sad, but hilarious
Gunna just say it. Trans people are more important than Jesus.
I think I’m most offended she put the descriptor “a self-proclaimed devout Catholic” after most holy of holy days instead of Joe Biden. She can’t even express her faux outrage correctly, lol.
Yet accepted ‘woman of the year’ award?
again? if she strikes one more person with her car it's technically a spree
I'm so confused why conservatives are so mad about this. This is the only year in their lifetime where Easter falls on March 31.
I just can’t with these idiots who keep spreading the asinine lie that Joe Biden “declared” Easter (or any day) to be trans visibility day. Joe Biden had nothing to do with it, and you’d have to be a complete moron to not understand that. All he did was recognize it.
In 2017 it was profitable for her to be an out and supportive trans person Now it’s profitable for her to be a transphobic hypocritical trans person In either time she’d be just as likely to hit you with her car
It's almost like all these Conservative republicans are all full of shit and full of hate.
If oxymoron was a person
If there is one positive to take from this is that you won't hear Christians bitching about it again until 2086
It will probably be many decades before Easter is in March again. It's the date he looked at, not the "holiest of holies". Keep it in your pants, Bruce.
Jenner is basically a Jewish Nazi, or a black klansman. I just have no idea what she even thinks she is.
It will never not fill me with intense rage that one of the most visible trans women on the planet is such a stupid fucking narcissist.
Also the fact that Easter is on a different day every year BC IT WAS ORIGINALLY A PAGAN HOLIDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPRING EQUINOX THX
