Talk:International Transgender Day of Visibility/Archive 1

Removed Proposed Deletion
I removed the deletion because the reason given is that the article is "not notable" but it is a notable holiday. It has been recognized and celebrated by many LGBT organizations including the Human Rights Campaign. It has been celebrated for 3 years and has definitely been established as an official holiday within the LGBT community, even though it is a new holiday.

Recent layout edits
I respect that your recent edits were made in good faith, but I think they make the layout of this page look much worse. As with the Transgender Day of Remembrance where you've made similar edits, I do not want to appear self-serving by restoring a photo I took to a more prominent position on the page, but I would like to discuss with other editors whether your changes have improved the page. I don't believe having a large generic transgender symbol is preferable to having a photo taken at an observance of the event. Also pinging who reverted your changes earlier.

 * Also note, per your edit summary about the trans sidebar, that as I mentioned on Talk:Transgender Day of Remembrance, the trans sidebar is this template, which has the transgender flag, not the symbol you've inserted. Funcrunch (talk) 06:04, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

controversies section not really controversies?
hatred that happened at the high school isnt really a controversy, nor is the indian thing. i think the category needs a different name because its not as if theres push back from the community about the holiday, its religious transphobia and police violence. 1.126.106.41 (talk) 16:18, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Fair point. I renamed the section. I'm sceptical that the high school bulletin board is DUE as much space as we're currently giving it; no objection to trimming it... -sche (talk) 22:12, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Change the word conservatives
People who prioritize religion/faith are both progressives and conservatives. Your depiction that “some conservatives” were upset is misleading and a false representation of a much larger group. For example, you didn’t say SOME progressives celebrated trans day of visibility being celebrated over Easter. Why is that? Could it be that the intent is to mislead people into thinking a vast majority of Americans prefer a visibility day over their sacred observation of resurrection Sunday, that only a small amount of people who are conservative disagree? to a very divided yet primarily politically-centrist country, this was insensitive with an intended effect. Choosing Catholicism/Christianity does not make one politically conservative nor does being conservative make one Catholic/Christian. Please respect the faith and devotion of Catholics and Christians. 2603:7080:613E:9AFC:7C7D:2849:29AF:23D1 (talk) 02:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Peter 4:8 says: "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." And John 4:8 says: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:29, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @2603:7080:613E:9AFC:7C7D:2849:29AF:23D1 you do not need to chose between religion and supporting trans people. You can do both. Only a subset of religious people are transphobic 98.116.173.242 (talk) 14:54, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * +1. There are two binary issues here: whether one is religious, and whether they support progressive gender ideology. I do not know in which context the word "conservative" was originally used, since it is not currently present in the article. Nevertheless, use of the word to refer broadly to the opposition seems fine. Doughbo (talk) 23:45, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Global effort to change the day so that it never lands on Easter
Article needs to mention that this day is a controversy in most Christian cultures already, especially when it lands on Easter Sunday. Many news articles are covering the rage associated with disparaging a Christian holy day. 47.149.186.81 (talk) 00:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC)


 * no reason to delete this section as that is what the TALK function is meant to be for. There needs to be more in the article about all the controversies associated with this day. 47.149.186.81 (talk) 01:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You got any reliable sources for that effort by fake Christians to change the day?  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 01:21, 31 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I am not aware of any attempt to change the date, and most of the "controversy" is from blatant misinformation about the origins of Trans Day of Visibility anyway. Canadianlaugh (talk) 00:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)User:CanadianlaughCanadianlaugh (talk) 00:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
