Much to do about nothing. This day, March 31st , started 15 years ago. It just so happens it landed on Easter this year.
Blessings.

Why do we need a transgender day? Do we have a liposuction day? Do we have a breast augmentation day? Do we have a dental implant day?

This is just a statement on how far our society has fallen. Could we not just call it child abuse or child mutilation day?

The transgender date was chosen to be in the midst of the Lent/Easter and Passover seasons for Christians and Jews.
It suggests that an agenda by the LGBTQ+ political activists had in choosing this date. Either way, the date was chosen
narrow mindedly.

Besides, secular holidays are moved all the time. The fact that the transgender visibility day landed on Easter, says it should've been moved to Monday, or another day. The fact that the Biden Administration ignored what Easter stands
for, shows how anti-Christian this administration is.

Why does it suggest that? From what I can tell the only reason the date was picked was because it fell a good distance from both Pride Month and Trans Day of Remembrance, so it wouldn't compete with either of those. For all we know the person (and it was spearheaded by one person who chose the date) doesn't know when Easter or Passover is.
Either way, the date was chosen
narrow mindedly.
Why was it chosen narrow-mindedly? Because four or five times a century it's the same day as Easter?
Besides, secular holidays are moved all the time.
Sure when you are talking about stuff like official holidays that have some sort of effect like people having the day off work. For an informal observance though they tend to stay the same day the community that observes them chose in the first place.

Why? Why should TSER (The main group that organizes celebrations of the day) move it just because it happens to be the same day as Easter?

How did the Biden Administration ignore what Easter stands for?

You have to ask why transgender visibility days should've been moved off Easter Sunday? Cripes!
This is the Christian Forums site where Christians usually believe that the resurrection of Jesus Christ
is the most important day in Christianity. Without the resurrection, Christianity would not exist.

Yes I do, because the days have nothing to do with each other.

Ok. I'm not seeing why other people can't have some sort of day of celebration or remembrance on the say day though.

That's right, transgender day has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus, observed by Christians as Easter,
the biggest holiday in Christianity. Transgender Visibility was never celebrated by this country and many like myself,
never heard of the day until Biden proclaimed it this Easter. BTW, go look at Biden's proclamation of Ramadan, then watch for Passover, which is coming in a week. Ramadan, Biden gave a wonderful speech and acclamations toward Muslims. You can be assured Biden will give Jews similar for Passover, which he should. However, for Christianity on Easter, he said nothing. To honor transgenders on Easter Sunday was a slap in the face for Christians.

That's correct it doesn't. Nor does Easter have anything to do with March 31st.
Was Easter March 31st last year? How about the year prior or the year prior to that?
You do understand how the Roman Catholic Church sets the celebration of Easter, yes, no, maybe?
Transgender Visibility was never celebrated by this country
That day was also set aside on March 31st last year, and on March 31st the year before that and on March 31st the year before that.. and.. and.. and.. first established in 2009 (I looked it up).
..many like myself, never heard of the day until Biden proclaimed it this Easter.
the rest of the nation doesn't revolve around your ignorance.

March 31st is not only Transgender Visibility Day, it is also Anesthesia Tech Day, Dance Marathon Day, National Clams on the Halfshell Day , National Farm Workers Day and a host of others. This year it just so happened that Easter was on March 31st also.
So I ask again, was Easter March 31st last year? No?

It sounds like this year's Easter was placed to coincide with these other days which fall on March 31st every year, rather than the other way around. Your ire seems to be missplaced. fwiw, you could have ignored them, there's no obligation on any of them.

To honor transgenders on Easter Sunday was a slap in the face for Christians.
When you look to be offended, you'll find it every time.

fwiw, if you want to plan ahead on being offended; next year Easter is on April 20.. 4/20 which is 420 day an international celebration during which people come together to consume cannabis and advocate for its legalization.

Transgender Visibility was never celebrated by this country and many like myself, never heard of the day until Biden proclaimed it this Easter.
He also proclaimed it in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

A Proclamation on Transgender Day Of Visibility, 2021

I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2021, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join in the fight for full equality for all transgender people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.

A Proclamation on Transgender Day Of Visibility, 2022

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2022, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating discrimination against all transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary people — and all people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-sixth.

A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2023

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2023, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination against all transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-seventh.

Transgender Visibility Day has been celebrated in the United States for many years prior to Biden made these proclamations.

Ramadan, Biden gave a wonderful speech and acclamations toward Muslims. You can be assured Biden will give Jews similar for Passover, which he should. However, for Christianity on Easter, he said nothing.
Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday. Easter reminds us of the power of hope and the promise of Christ’s Resurrection.

As we gather with loved ones, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice. We pray for one another and cherish the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities. And with wars and conflict taking a toll on innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to work for peace, security, and dignity for all people.

From our family to yours, happy Easter and may God bless you. --
President Joe Biden Easter Message 2024

And in previous years:

Jill and I join the many Christians around the world who tomorrow are celebrating the miracle of the resurrection and God’s holy promise to His people... Easter morning is a time for joy and renewal. It’s a reminder that after darkness, tribulation, and loss comes the dawning of new possibilities. We declare that “Christ is Risen!” -- Joe Biden Easter Message 2020

Easter is a day of joy, when we celebrate resurrection and renewal. But this year, we know many are still going without the familiar comforts of the season. The virus is not gone, and the second year in a row most will be apart from their families or friends and a full congregation to fill us with so much joy. But the Scripture tells us, “Joy cometh in the morning.... As we celebrate the renewal of this season, we know that longed-for dawn is almost here. -- President Joe Biden Easter Message 2021

Jill and I join fellow Christians around the world in celebrating Easter Sunday — a day of joy and hope, of renewal and rebirth... Once again, Holy Week has taken us on a journey from sorrow to salvation. As we reflect today on Christ’s Resurrection, we are reminded that with faith, hope, and love — even death can be defeated. -- President Joe Biden Easter Message 2022

Jill and I join Christians around the world in celebrating Easter Sunday, a day of hope and joy, renewal and rebirth. It marks the end of Lent, a period of sacrifice and contemplation. And it commemorates Christ’s Resurrection, a powerful reminder of God’s love and the promise of redemption for us all... During Lent and especially on Good Friday, we held in our hearts all those who are suffering from threats of violence and persecution, grief and isolation, and illness, poverty, and other hardships... Today, we hold close the Easter message that nothing – not even death – can match the power of faith, hope, and love. And we remember Jesus’ sacrifice and recommit ourselves to love God with all our hearts and to love our neighbors as ourselves, embracing His call to treat one another with compassion. -- President Joe Biden Easter Message 2023
