Easter 2024

Let's Talk about the International Day of Trans Visibility falling on Easter.


The Gregorian calendar was adopted in in the Year of our Lord 1582, which means we've been using it for 442 years. Meanwhile, the celebration of Easter - not a federally recognized holiday (this becomes important later) - has a 3% chance to fall on any date between March 22nd and April 25th (i.e. its highly mobile) because it falls according to a lunisolar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar. The International Trans Day of Visibility is static (means it is a set date (not mobile) on March 31st (first established in 2009). For people who do not struggle with logic, we can conclude that sometimes (or, about 3% of the time in the above date range), the two will coincide. Now, back to what "federally recognized" infers.


Because we are a nation founded on religious freedom - means that among other things, Congress (the legislative branch of the federal (there's that word again) government) cannot (by law) make laws respecting an establishment of religion. Many people who proclaim understanding that a 2nd Amendment exists are seemingly unaware that incrementally-speaking, there cannot be a 2nd Amendment without there first being a...1st Amendment (please don't make me explain how/why we use/apply the Hindu-Arabic numeral system for the purpose of positional integers nor the concept of linear time).


So if you are sincere about snowflaking out over the The International Trans Day of Visibility both falling on, and being recognized by the White House, it would be far more appropriate to point your ire toward Pope Gregory XIII (Gregorian Calendar), Rachel Crandall (Trans Day of Visibility), Indian Mathematicians (Hindu-Arabic numeral system), Post-Civil War Presbyterians (celebration of Easter in the United States), the First Council of Nicaea (subverting Christianity by placing Christ's name upon the pagan celebration), or the founding fathers of the United States of America for the First Amendment. But I do acknowledge blaming Biden is way more TL;DR.
