‼️TOMORROW ‼️ October 14th is annual Cake For Trans Friends Day, started by tumblr user cassolotl in 2017!
🏳️⚧️ Join us for cake from 11am-1pm (drop by any time) on Claycroft Field 1 (what 3 words: /// mice.give.merit)
🏳️⚧️ Vegan and gluten free options available, bring your own cake for yourself or a trans friend if you want!
Original tumblr post:
Today I had a very small rant about how all the trans days (Coming Out Day, Trans Day of Remembrance, Trans Day of Visibility) involve marginalised people doing yet more work to draw attention to themselves in a dangerous environment for the greater good and it’s PISSING ME OFF. Those days can be (and always are, for me) scary and sad. Days to avoid social media, you know?
So I declared today, 14th October 2017, the first annual Cake For Trans Friends Day. I ended up shortening it to Trans Cake Day, which I think is also a good name.
Basically, instead of us doing all the work, people (especially cis people, I feel!) give cake to their trans friends and family to show them how appreciated they are. There’s so much anger and violence surrounding
trans people, but I think we should be celebrated and loved. We’re not just tolerable or visible, we’re awesome and beautiful and people want us in their lives (as they should!) and we work so hard to exist in and give our amazingness to this world authentically, so it’s about time people acknowledged that, don’t you think?
