Transition party when?

I think trans people should get thrown transition showers like brides and pregnant people get. All your friends come over to celebrate this big moment in your life, gift you things to start living your true gender, and just have a big party. Can we make that a thing?
Pride isn't a party telling you how special you are. It's a reaction against living in a society that tells you that you should be ashamed of being queer and a rejection of shame.
All the Pride month ads in the world don't undo having to evaluate whether or not it's safe to be out at work, or if your spouse should be with you when checking out that one bedroom apartment you want to rent, or if your doctor is going to treat you differently (all things that have gone south for me when someone learned I was gay and trans).
