The old saw, “every day is children’s day,” has been expropriated for better use.

The excellent X blogress Laura Powell has compiled a list of  holidays observed by different kinds of children, LGBTA activists, who must have been severly holiday-deprived in their youth.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Not to be confused with Trans Day of Visibility, which is in March.

Or Trans Day of Action, in June.

Yesterday was the last day of Transgender Awareness Week.

Trans Parent Day was earlier this month.

The California Legislature has declared August to be Trans History Month.

Pronouns Day is in October.

Also in October is Genderfluid Visibility Week.

Non-Binary People’s Day and Non-Binary Awareness Week are in July.

Here’s a holiday favorite, updated. Sing with me: why can’t every day be Transgender Day of Remembrance . . .

Hmm, that new lyric doesn’t seem to scan. Ah well, it’s the message, isn’t it?
