Remembrance Sunday is listed beside Transgender Day of Remembrance, Trans Parent Day and Intersex Day of Solidarity.
Others include International Day of the Girl Child, Non-Binary People’s Day and Neurodiversity Pride Day.
Pagan holidays are also marked up.
The bespoke online calendar, which is also available in print, costs struggling NHS trusts up to £1,395 to buy.
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust spent more to upload their own photos for their calendars.
February is illustrated by a picture from the LGBT+ History Month flag raising while June shows NHS staff in rainbow coloured outfits at Isle of Wight Pride.
Many other trusts across the country have also ordered copies.
Tory MP Joe Robertson said: “The Health Secretary needs to scrap this nonsense and focus on running a health service that puts patients first.”
The firm behind it — Ireland-based Diversiton — says it costs between £395 and £1,395 to help workers keep track of “key dates”.
Last night an NHS spokeswoman said: “Highlighting awareness days can lead to better patient care — but these calendars should not come at a cost of hundreds of pounds.”
SEX WORK FURY

CBEEBIES has sparked outrage for hailing trans sex workers as “inspirational mums” alongside Holly Willoughby and Michelle Obama.
The BBC TV channel’s website has a list celebrating mothers for International Women’s Day.
It includes transgender drag queens Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, calling them mothers to homeless LGBTQ+ youths for whom they set up a shelter in New York in the 1970s.
Shadow women’s minister Mims Davies said: “This list seems to be deliberately provocative and looks like a distraction from actually celebrating women.”
The BBC said it was an old list from an archived page.
