Nobody is calling for this, it's just Daily Mail trying to get hetero cis people to feel threatened by trans people.

Nurturer's day sounds really awkward but I don't see anything wrong with calling it "parent day" or something. Lots of people of any gender/sex take on nurturing duties of some kind

Are we going to call fathers day “provider day.” Just add a new holiday.

Problem is we have Father’s Day already. I’m all for being inclusive, but just leave it as Mother’s Day pls

[Raver]

This is insane 

Leave Mother’s Day alone!

I'm gonna take a different approach to this than mindlessly laughing at "SJWS!!! ", but doesn't this activist actually contradict themselves in here?

 

Quote

 

"Norrie suggested 'Nurturer's Day' would be a better term with 'men' giving birth"

"Norrie May-Welby, who was born a male and had gender reassignment surgery at age 28, said the term 'mother' was not exclusive to females."

'It's not sex specific. I think mothering is instinctual in all mammals, regardless of biological sex,'

 

‘Mother' is a verb. One can be mothering without being a biological birther,' Norrie said.

 

 

 

So if this is the case, what is wrong with MOTHER'S day, if mother isn't sex specific?

Narcissism

Obviously a silly idea but right wing media will use this to rally up support for being transphobic so don’t fall for it. Australian and British media are the worst.

[fauxtography]

Would a trans man giving birth not be qualified for….fathers day? 

[Tiziano's Boy]

It's just the Daily Mail getting their readers riled up over one person's opinion, DM are c*nts anyway, racist bags tbh.

[Ferret]

Do not mess with Mother’s Day please

Do we need a thread every time one random person says something that fits with your faux outrage narrative?

embarrassing

Some people are dumb, why would you even celebrate a commercial holiday? Its made to sell, just like st valentine's, st Patrick's, its meant to be dumb.

Just to say that St. Patrick's Day is not the same as the other cases you mention here. Its origins in popularity in its country of origin are not one of commercialisation.

Leave Mother's Day alone

Please stop this nonsense.
