Original Note:
The claim that the White House picked the date is false. International Trans Day of Visibility has been on March 31 worldwide since 2009. Easter is determined by an ancient astronomical formula. Neither is within the power of the US president to change. https://www.opb.org/article/2024/03/30/trans-day-of-visibility-began-15-years-ago-the-founder-is-still-moved-by-its-success/ https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/determining-easter-date.html#:~:text=Easter%20falls%20on%20the%20first,on%20or%20after%20March%2021.
