I declare #CakeForTransFriendsDay.
I'm fed up of "coming out" days that ask trans people to come out in an unsafe world, doing all the risky stuff, while cis people ignore us.
Today, 14th Oct, every year, the onus is on cis people to buy cake for their #trans, #nonbinary and otherwise genderly-interesting friends.
@zyabin101 Ahhhh thanks!! :)
@cassolotl i like this. I'd have liked this better with enough advance notice to buy the cake, but adding it to my calendar
@acrata I'm wondering if there is a way to set up an annual automatic alert (with a few days' warning too) that people could subscribe to. 🤔
@cassolotl Of course there is: It's called "calendar". Duh.
:) @acrata
@cassolotl can I just say that I love 'genderly interesting' as a phrase
@jasminehenry Oh thanks! :) I like it too!
@cassolotl I bought crisps and beer, does that work too?
@luluberlu Yes! You just have to be like "I deserve nice things and to be celebrated just for being trans and surviving as best I can!" when you give it to yourself. :D
@cassolotl actually I'm the cis person in this scenario 😅
@luluberlu Oh I see! :D Well, if you know the trans person likes those things then I feel that you are doing it right!
@luluberlu I agree! :D
@cassolotl "genderly-interesting" is such a good phrase
@007 Thank you, I like it too! :)
@cassolotl I totally approve this. (Yeah I really love cake)
@FabulousMatt Thank you! :D
@cassolotl I wanted to share this on another website, but I had to delete it basically immediately. There's so much hate in the world, and I am so tired.
@TheyCallMeMo Oh gosh, that's awful. :( Take care of yourself! <3
transphobia (slurs), general insensitivity Show more
@cassolotl that's what i'm going to do today. get lots of people to buy me cake. :3
@cassolotl i love it, but do you think we owe it to cis people to give them some lead time? Maybe, and this is just a random day pulled from nowhere, December 26?
Cake Boxing Day
@cassolotl Before anyone asks — yes, I *do* prefer chocolate, thanks. 💚💚💚
@cassolotl I too want a cake. Maybe one of those vanilla cakes with the colored sugar bits inside. With chocolate frosting.
@cassolotl 😘 👍 😀 🍰
