Hallmark Is Now Selling Cards to Celebrate Transgender People Who Are Transitioning

There are greeting cards to celebrate and support people through all stages of life, from graduations to career changes to birthdays. But until recently, these sentimental notes haven't always included words of encouragement for transgender people or offered congratulations for a major event in their lives: transitioning. That, however, is now changing: Hallmark has started selling cards geared specifically toward the transgender community.

One in every 137 teens is transgender, according to a UCLA School of Law study published earlier this year. Due to societal stigma, trans people - and trans youth in particular - have a higher risk of depression and anxiety. But as other research suggests, this risk can be reduced if trans youth are given support and affirmation starting at an early age-and encouraging words like these are one way to provide that.

I post greetings on Facebook. Haven’t bought a card in a long time. Waste of money.

Hey, diddle, diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
You cut off your d*ck
You dumb, stupid pr*ck
You crazy, foolish loon!

If you see a transgender teen look at the parents or parent and you will see the problem in most cases

Especially the mothers.

If you ever want to buy a card, go to Hobby Lobby. It’s hard to find a card in any other store that isn’t a vulgar joke or just a joke in general. Sometimes, you want something serious, you know? Well, Hobby Lobby has some joke cards, but they also have plenty of serious and a lot of religious. And I don’t think I saw Obama’s ugly mug once.

They were running an ad earlier this year where a guy proposed to a guy. When he went down on his knee, I said, “Eunice, get the children out of here!”

They also have somehow managed to have two months of Christmas movies—and a week or two in July—year in and year out without a single one having anything at all to do with the real meaning of the religious holiday.

Think of the logic behind “becoming the person you’ve always been”. Obviously written by someone who is able to change mental points of view in mid-sentence, and someone who should not be writing verses for cards.

You always were a woman
That was crystal clear to me
But now the world won't be surprised
When you sit down to pee

We just discovered Hobby Lobby! What an amazing store. So many cool things, and though I’m not Christian I was thrilled to see so many religious things. Gd mentioned in many places. Loved it. Thanks for the tip.

You’ve been overcome by mental and spiritual illness. Congratulations! Don’t get well soon.

“Transgender” is defined very, very loosely. Considering that it’s a “thing” to be “trans” for those pathologically starving for attention, you can bet the numbers are creeping up.
