‘Transgender Visibility Day‘, set for March 31 of each year (one day, conveniently, ahead of April 1), happened to fall on Easter this year. That as you must know caused quite a bit of consternation — if not commotion, in some quarters.

To avoid this happening again, the organizers/sponsors have decided to change the date — shift it so that it cannot fall on a major religious holiday.

So, they have come up with the Fourth Thursday of November (each year) as of 2025.

Good choice. Now it cannot fall on Easter, the Advent or Christmas. That is a relief.

Compared To The Past, Very Little Talk & Promotion Of This Year’s (i.e., 2021) Flu Vaccine — It Is All COVID.

It is mid-September. Even last year, by this time, the media was jabbering away like crazy about the flu shots & the pharmacies were pushing it like crazy. This year, I am sure I have yet to see a sign outside a pharmacy offering the flu shot. The emphasis is all on COVID.

I have been getting the flu shot, religiously, for the last 5 or 6 years. But, I refuse to get it earlier than November. And in the last couple of years I have seen reports that concur with I that it is better to get the flu shot after October than before.

So, I am not looking to get a shot right now. I will wait till November — closer to Thanksgiving as possible.

I understand that COVID & the flu are separate things & that the COVID vaccine is not going to protect me from the flu.

Just wanted to share this with you so that you can start thinking about it.
