Transgender Lobsters

Seriously:

Lobsters are low-key kinda trans, they are gynandromorphic (can have both male and female characteristics)

This is important because:

Every year the trans flag is one of the most requested emojis

For unicode to ignore our community is almost like a form of erasure and stinks of transphobia, they see the proposals every year, they know its been the most requested emoji the last couple of years

So:

The new campaign, Claws Out For Trans, is encouraging people to sign its petition and use the lobster emoji

Have you guys seen the movie The Lobster? With Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz. Farrell's character chooses to be turned into a lobster...

As an aside, looking at the "FU" on fingernails, the violent rhetoric that passes for activism - I cannot help but wonder what they will be like in another 30-40 years. A lot of cringing at internet history I suspect.

Maybe rebels without a clue covers it.

Firstly, let me get this out of the way Hmm
Emoji oppression, now I have heard it all!

Lobsters are normally male or female, only occasionally does gynandromorphy occur, it's a genetic abnormality.

So effectively, lobsters would be more of an intersex symbol? Not hijacking the intersex cause again are we?

How is a group of non breeding lobsters that rely on female lobsters to produce them going to become the majority?

FloralBunting thank you for posting that, I always think it is me being hard of thinking!

FloralBunting · 03/08/2018 22:05

LobsterBTeam, far be it from here to critique an imaginative posting style, but... you're not making the clearest sense here...

Potentially unrelated point, but girl lobsters taste much nicer than boy lobsters....

PennyLessDaunt · 03/08/2018 20:31

Lobsters are normally male or female, only occasionally does gynandromorphy occur, it's a genetic abnormality. I suspect the trans community are being trolled, lobster's are rather well known for some curious anatomy and communication relating to urine.
