Oh, the appropriation thing has mostly to do with cis LGBT people, especially in the US, trying to tell us how we should be feeling and what we should be doing.
There's specifically been a whole thing of people telling us we should lighten up and celebrate our lives and not look at the dark side.
It's our day, and we set the agenda...
What cis people can do is acknowledge it's our mourning day, and spread the information, and be aware that trash talking trans people is part of the same continuum that lets people treat our lives as of no account.
