Mother's Day is offensive to non-binary parents

We should have only one "Guardian's Day"
quote:
Toronto Star columnist Emma Teitel says that because “the gendered holidays of Mother’s Day and Father’s day are a drag for non-binary parents who don’t identify with a single gender,” we need to get rid of both altogether.
This is why I’d like to propose that we scrap both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day for good. And in the spirit of both inclusivity and selfishness, I’d like to propose a new holiday called “Guardian’s Day.” Guardian’s Day, which has a nice sci-fi fantasy ring to it, will be a rotating statutory holiday — meaning you can celebrate it any day you please, and you can interpret it any way you like. A guardian can be a mom, a dad, a non-binary parent, a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle, a pet owner, or why the heck not — somebody who takes really good care of his houseplants.

I could provide a service to tell the non-binary what to celebrate

Modern liberalism is all about breaking down any traditional way of life.

Or the author could frick off and die. Whatevs.

The profession is suffering from wide spread writer's block, & if you ever wondered what crap people churn out during these bouts, well here it is

Or we tell the author proposing this change to eff off.

Those kids don't stand a chance

How about that writer can go frick herself/himself/itself

The authors poor kids. They don't have a chance in hell.
We really need to purge society of people like this. They are only growing in number and boldness to the detriment of the country.

Look at the kid on the left. He looks like he hates where he is. Can't say I blame him.

Mother's Day will have to GO. It is an oppressive and brutal reminder of the Centuries of Torture inflicted on the non-binary gendered population by the Disgusting White Racist Devil-Culture foisted upon us by the USA, which is a Trumpian Dystopia of Hate and Selfishness.
Just kidding! Happy Mother's Day to all.

These folks have always been fringe, are fringe, will continue to be fringe, but by all means...strawman on as though this is a mainstream view.

Pretty insensitive to people who can't afford or have big enough places to have house plants.

There are already mental illness awareness days.

Sorry, non binaries. This day is about mothers. Get your own day.
Posted on 5/14/17 at 9:38 am to SirWinston
I'm sure it's a drag for women who have tried to get pregnant and can't, too.
This is the kind of stuff that happens when liberals want to enforce the law of individual happiness on everyone else. If something you do detracts from my own personal happiness, it is a violation of my rights and must be stopped. These people need therapists.

To include everyone we must exclude everyone. Got it.
