As a transgender individual I couldn't agree more. Equality means equal, not better tjan and getting some special day. This stuff is just stupid. Everyone just needs to let everyone else live their life how they want.

When a minority group is discriminated against for centuries then they deserve remembrance. That's why we have MLK day, Trans remembrance day and others.

I love MILK day!

So have white people. Every race has been discriminated against in history. Unless you haven't read history.

White people are usually doing the discriminating.

Almost all groups DO have ones. It's just that people sweep some under the proverbial rug, because they don't like mentioning the historical premise. Like Asian-American internments, or Native genocides. We don't talk about those...
