I like that there's a happy trans holiday, I would not like remembrance to be all we get

but at this point dang we really gotta theme it around something other than "visibility"

Trans Day Of Everyone Just Be Chill

or heck just Trans Day because I feel that implies we would get presents

(I'm not trans, so I might be missing some context, but:) I don't know how you could do that, because it feels like a celebration of trans people, of any people, automatically put the spotlight on said people. Like, international women's day put the spotlight on women. There might be a way if you put the focus on history, like Black History months, but that is also playing with fire because "well-intended" organization might still expect trans people to teach them, like, basic history. It feels kind of inevitable. I hope it isn't true, but the idea of a public holiday sound like it is flawed.

"Trans day of invisibility" is just a joke, and I do realize visibility comes with any public recognition, but I think theming the day specifically around visibility is kind of outdated because "trans people are everywhere" has gone from being a surprise to being something right-wingers say like it's scary.

I don't generally mind being noticed in a positive way or being asked polite questions, but I think it's time for celebrations of gender diversity to be more centered around acceptance and support than just establishing that we exist.
