To celebrate writer Mira Bellwether’s birthday, her widower is calling for those who love trans women to buy them some pizza on March 31.

Groundbreaking writer and sex educator Mira Bellwether is no longer with us, but her memory is still with us, not just through her work, but in the food we share as a community.
Bellwether, author of the 2010 zine Fucking Trans Women, which dramatically reimagined how we frame transfeminine sexuality, died of complications from lung cancer in December of last year. To celebrate her first birthday following her untimely death, Bellwether’s widower Callan Molinari is calling for those who love trans women to buy them some pizza on March 31. Of course, that also happens to be Trans Day of Visibility.
The “First Annual Mira Bellwether Buy a Trans Woman a Pizza Day,” as Molinari put it on Twitter, is a natural extension of Bellwether’s concern for community welfare in life. “I didn’t want her bday to go unmarked,” Molinari wrote, and “two of the most important things to her were trans women & making sure no one was hungry.”
