It's progress, duh!

Also, pony love is pony love, ok?

🙃

(I'd like to point out this is being marketed as classroom wall material and childrens wall art, so there's that...)

It will be so lovely and progressive when the kids come home from school to let us all know they're a gender-fluid, non binary, pony-loving, two-spirit trans twink. I can't wait!

Seriously, what can bigender mean? Unless it's actually big ender.

And I don't want to think about pony.

My little girl would love to be a pony, she's horse mad, it's so wonderful to know I can explain to her it's ok to be a horse, help her get on the equine injections, sign her up for horse reassignment surgery and best of all; she can have a flag!

So what is "twink" about then?

My first thought was, if I was the education resource company "twinkl" I would not appreciate the association. Especially as similar education resource company "sparklebox" turned out to belong to a convicted paedophile.

Yes, but if you practice it a couple of times, you can respond ‘I’m so happy for you! I’m a Polyamorous, Androgyne Neutrois … I’m so glad we had this conversation, now, what did you want for tea?’ with a completely straight face 😉

Oh stop it! That's too good 🤣🤣🤣

I will never understand why ally is on that list.
Why would you need a flag for minimum basic human decency?

My mind went straight to Jonathan Swift and boiled eggs. But that was "big-endian". I'd love to have seen Swift deal with all this.

Not much basic human decency in paedophilia. I'd refuse to be associated with anything that included paedophilia.

That just throws up (pun intended) more questions.
Why do lesbians get their own flag, but not gays?
WTF is Neutrois?

And it seems pretty exlusionary not to any other non-human species apart from ponies.

My partner identifies as big ender. He's not.

Twink is very young male homosexual. Possibly even underage but the definition is a bit fuzzy (I suspect deliberately).

"The minute you walked in the joint/ I could see you were a They of distinction/ safeguarding ender!//Hey Big Ender! (Bwah-bwah-bwah-bwah) Eeeennnnd some women's rights with me!"

@GeorgiaMcGraw 🤣🤣 brilliant

Does anyone else think that this narcissistic obsession with trying to define a small aspect of the self is a path to disaster? It's got to the point where it is just salami-slicing tiny aspects of the psyche, and for what? What does it actually deliver in terms of improving anyone's life in any real sense?

Maybe I am showing my roots here, but my God ... the amount of energy and time spent on all this, and what does it really deliver? Does it actually give you a better and happier life to constantly fret over whether you are gender queer or not, and which flag you need to put on your bloody social media profile?

The whole thing is a net: a sticky net, designed to trap and imprison.

Does a young male homosexual ever self identify as a twink? Or is the label put on him from someone older?

Twink is attractive, smooth skinned, young gay male.

The opposite is bear, which is large, fat, bearded gay make, often into bondage.

You also get pups, who are younger versions of bears.

They tend to be slim as well

ds1 and his boyfriend were having an argument about it…thats how i know

( and what world said)

So good!

😆

Apparently there is a gay flag. It's blue/green/turquoise.

There's also flags for leather pride. Latex pride and well, all sorts. Madness I tell ya.

I’ve never seen a gay man actually “identifying” as a twink - it’s normally used in a kind of derogatory way - but I have seen young transmen doing so.

Madness.

Young bears are cubs, those approaching sexual maturity are called yearlings. Unless they are available as a tasty snack, pups have nothing to do with bears. I suppose what else can I expect from those who conflate a personality with an identity though.
