TRANS MASCS & MEN: I want to start a “Buy a trans guy a pizza day” to parallel the “buy a trans girl a pizza day.” What date do you think would be a good date for that?

Similar to how the latter helps us celebrate Mira Bellwether, it would be lovely to pick a day that lets us celebrate a trans man or trans masc who has been important to the community, but is maybe underrecognized.

@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

I came here to recommend Lou as well. Since you have, I'll just +1 that :)

@forestine I’ve definitely thought about a nonbinary/agender/genderqueer day too for those completely outside the other two. I think it would be nice to have days where each part of our community gets some special love and care. I know on Tuesday, it actually made me tear up a bit to be taken care of and have some folks buy me a pizza 🥰

I wasn't even aware of the one pizza day. Definitely agree that just a simple "buy a trans person a treat" day works for folks like me that aren't compatible with binary classifiers
