Give me a break. That's not true.
One random thing from San Francisco is not evidence of it being actually widely observed. It doesn't even have a wikipedia page! TDOV and trans awareness week do. National Ice Cream Month does. The Black Music Month one does. And yet this one doesn't.
So black music month should be counted as far more official than trans awareness month should. In fact the former had a bill about it passed by Congress, it literally is more official! At the very least a count of African American related days vs trans related days should include black music month in it if it includes trans awareness month. If you don't, then you're just applying criteria inconsistently in order to fit a predetermined complaint.
You've been posting a constant stream of things that seem to defend libertarianism but which are either extreme, subtly wrong, or both.
This is just another way to say "things I personally disagree with". Like what exactly is extreme? My reform the FDA ideas are just like the things you'd find on Marginal Revolution. In my argument of ending anti discrimination law, I literally linked this ACX review.
Sure I guess compared to the average person who thinks social security should double, regulations should be endless and businesses are evil I'm extreme but in terms of the rationalist community I'm not uncommon. Maybe you should branch out more among rationalists beyond just this place.
This is a silly complaint in many ways.
1: It's easy to make up as many unofficial days as you want.
For example I just asked AI real quick about June and got
Men's Health Month, Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, PTSD Awareness Month, Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, Scleroderma Awareness Month, National Safety Month, Immigrant Heritage Month, Caribbean American Heritage Month, Black Music Month, Great Outdoors Month, Food-Related Months, National Dairy Month, National Candy Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, Turkey Lovers Month, Iced Tea Month, National Camping Month, National Rivers Month, Rose Month, National Homeownership Month, National Employee Wellness Month, Effective Communications Month, Fight the Filthy Fly Month, Accordion Awareness Month, Candy Month, Zoo and Aquarium Month
And that's just a small portion. Most of those things are not actually observed in any meaningful way. November is not seen as "trans awareness month", I've never seen any LGBT community talking about that ever. In fact I asked what type of month November is considered and it gave me the five of Native American Heritage Month, Veterans and Military Families Month, National Family Caregivers Month, National Adoption Month, and Movember so presumably those, which I've never heard of once, are more prominent.
And it's not even on the national calendar day site. so seemingly something like National Tar Syndrome Awareness Month is still more cared about than "trans awareness month" is.
2: By the same standards, black related days have been drastically undercounted. Such as June also being Black Music Month! Or August as Black Business Month. And speaking of November, it's also National Black Catholic History Month. And don't forget about National Black Family Day or Black Women's Equal Pay Day or whatever else.
You are allowed to criticize Wikipedia, of course you are. I am allowed to point out that Wikipedia has their rights as a private organization and their exercise of their rights does not constitute "forcing" a person into anything.
The same way if I were to kick you out of my house for chewing on my couch doesn't force you to not chew on couches. You can go chew on your own. It just means you can not chew on my couch in my home since I have the right to remove you from my home for whatever reason (including no reason!) as I deem. As you leave, feel free to call me a fascist couch Nazi or something.
