Happy Everyone's-a-Mother Day

If there's an official DAY without your name on it, you should feel discriminated against. You are (shock, horror) being discriminated against. You are being marginalized.

But no, wait -- you want to be marginalized? I forgot: it's the badge of belonging, to be on a margin.

Plus, People-not-experiencing-Motherhood Matter, right? Even men can be mothers. After all, they can be women. So female women don't have exclusive right of ownership of motherhood. That would be to privilege themselves. 

Plus, the whole Mothers Day thing was started by a white European-descended American woman, so it's inherently colonialist.

So the second Sunday in May needs to be detached from both non-equitable exclusive colonialism and from the concept of a "birthing person". 

So, on newly-named Unmentionable Day, you can give people chocolate and flowers if you like but just don't attach these to toxic trans-phobic gender labels.

Since the second Sunday in May is such a minefield of anxiety for the sensitive person with dissociative personality bipolar disordered protected characteristics and such ... there will be special mental health clinics set up on the Monday after to help them deal with post- Mothers Day PTSD.
