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 heard you cut off your bits
and you think you look hot,
but just because you have tits
you still can't have my parking spot.

PHOOEY!!!!

Who still buys Hallmark cards? We don’t support their Leftist agenda.

Well, if there’s a market, why not tap it. Risky, cause you might lose some of your customer base, but that’s why CEOs make so much - to make that possibly very bad decision.

I guess I should come out then...

I’ll be transitioning...

...to another manufacturer’s cards.

The nice progressive psychologists are helping me transition into who I have always been: Napoleon. And the nice progressive plastic surgeons are helping me look like my real Napoleon self. I am hoping to learn French soon, and hope that I get an honory title of General from the French military.

But some cruel heartless people are delegitimizing me. They say I am not really Napoleon even with all these changes. And so far, no politicians are standing up for me against this hate-speech. Its terrible. I hope to be able to sue all the deniers for the damage they are doing to me. Partly because it is justice, and partly because the plastic surgeries cost a lot of money. But mostly because I am a hero and a pioneer.

Many hunters are forced to hold their fire, when it comes to female prey...but say, for example, the doe is a buck in her heart...is it now ok to shoot.

I will bet that is one of the most b.s. types of “study” ever done.... the way all libtards just make stuff up to serve their propaganda needs.

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

Celebrating insanity...great.

[SaveFerris]

Nicely-played.

[SkyDancer]

And Hallmark goes the way of Target and JC Penny’s. Wonder if the LGBT community can sustain them.

[SaveFerris]

excellent

I understand some people are very disturbed but I seriously wonder about all the physicians and surgeons that are willing to do this to another person. Then I am reminded of all the Nazi doctors that experimented on people in the concentration camps. I don’t see any difference between the two.

In the future I believe we will look back in disbelief at all this as social insanity.

I ran into the top “family” guy there a couple times, many years ago.

I was sitting at a red light, about to park at the building when a $120,000 Lamboghini Countach pulled up to the light next to me. I mentioned it to one of my customers and they suggested it might have been the CEO.

Might be a more common sight in other cities but not where their home office is.
