Republicans are taking aim at President Joe Biden for proclaiming Easter Sunday as the Transgender Day of Visibility, though the two days only coincided this year by chance.

    The first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held on March 31, 2009. It’s been March 31st annually since. It’s Easter that changes the date.

    I swear Republicans lack any critical thinking skills. Dumbasses.

    It’s a holiday involving an animal mascot known for its active sex life, and painting eggs in fabulous colorful decoration.

    Sounds pretty much on message for Trans Day of Visibility if you ask me 🤷

        Saw a political headline that used “spanked” not super long ago. Thought we’d graduated to BDSM, but it’s been back to the Pokemon battle lingo ever since.

        Kinda disappointed.
