@JoscelynTransient 100% this should be a thing

@JoscelynTransient quick, someone figure out when Buck Angel's birthday is so we absolutely don't have it on that day /s

@JoscelynTransient I always can enjoy a pizza on 4/20 like my pal Dock said 😎🏳️‍⚧️🐉 so that’s a good day IMO!

@JoscelynTransient great idea! I have no instant ideas on dates though.

@JoscelynTransient When's Jamison Green's birthday? Maybe Chaz Bono or Elliot Page.

@JoscelynTransient i'm not sure if it started in parallel to the one for Mira or what but there is already "buy a trans person a nice snack" and trans pizza day run by Syrus Marcus Ware on TDOV

@JoscelynTransient I mean you could do it on the date of Leslie Feinbergs death, a trans masc trans rights advocate whos books are often called essential trans masc reading. They passed away due to complications from Lyme disease, which they only sought treatment for in its later stages due to medical discrimination.

@JoscelynTransient (trans girl here) this 100% should be a thing!! ​​ now to procure some pizzas for mah frens ​​

i wouldn't know a good date but maybe an important date like the death of a trans advocate or something isn't the best idea? because I feel like a date like that would be better suited for an equally important day. not that a day like this wouldn't be important, I just feel like the date shouldn't have too much weight to it for a fun day like this :3

@JoscelynTransient I would say Lou Reed's birthday, OR if you want to do a weekly thing, maybe on Wednesday (silly language puns and the idea of associations of miercoles / miracles, being in the middle, etc).

@JoscelynTransient (I’m nb but having been AFAB, if I squint, this could be me) what about November 19, International Men’s Day?

@JoscelynTransient June 16.

Lou Sullivan's birthday.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Sullivan

From wiki:

"He was perhaps the first trans man to publicly identify as gay, and is largely responsible for the modern understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity as distinct, unrelated concepts.

Sullivan was a pioneer of the grassroots female-to-male (FTM) advocacy movement and was instrumental in helping individuals obtain peer-support, counseling, endocrinological services and reconstructive surgery outside of gender dysphoria clinics.

He founded FTM International, one of the first organizations specifically for FTM individuals, and his activism and community work was a significant contributor to the rapid growth of the FTM community during the late 1980s. He died of AIDS-related complications in 1991."
