What is the consensus on the correct/best pride flag for those who are gender critical?

I posted them got busy so couldn't respond. Catching up has been enlightening.

Seems the general consensus is don't get a flag. Although I do like the idea of cutting the triangle off the current flag but think hanging that in the window would be provocative and perhaps not 'kind'

No, it would not be kind.

Flags aside, just aggressive pushing of LGB without the TQOMGBBQ extensions would be good. If someone interprets it as LGBTQ, clearly correct them that 'no, I just meant LGB'.

In which case the flag in the picture @zibzibara posted at the start is the way to communicate the point most effectively I'd say

"No, it would not be kind."

Might feel like being erased. similar to how it feels being a biological woman in the face of TWAW.

Being made to feel erased or excluded is not kind at all.

Maybe a giant inflatable dinosaur?

@BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn - I like those, pity you couldn't find a dino though

Please tell me exactly how you've been 'erased'?

OMG Cake, me too!

And me.

I have the following:

A flag for people who aren’t actually asexual, but aren’t bothered about sex

The vegetarian/vegan flag

The “short” pride flag - people literally look down on us, but we don’t care

The hearing-impaired flag

The “born in the 80s” flag (with Calvin Harris on it)

The flag for people who aren’t dyslexic.

OK, so I don’t actually have any flags. Nor do I need any. Why would I?

now these are the kinds of flags I can get behind

I'd like flags for

people who like anchovies

cat people

those who really can't be doing with Ant and Dec

if those flags were available I'd definitely run them up my flag pole (of course I'd have to get one first)

@onlyamam

As @Transparent2 said. "Feeling erased" not literally erased. I'm still here obviously as I'm typing.

Feelz trump the reality tho I thought?

So tell me why you feel that way. How has the existence of trans people erased you? How has it affected your day to day life?

bellinisurge · 25/05/2023 21:02

Cat people flag would be cool. Putting out fire with gasoline - one for the Gen X-ers

I love rainbows and hate that they have been captured by "the movement" and also by the unicorn lovers. So many items of clothing put back on the shelves as ruined by a unicorns and the gender alphabet soup. Is there a flag for just LGBH (ie the types of sexual attraction rather than gender)?

"So tell me why you feel that way. How has the existence of trans people erased you? How has it affected your day to day life?"

This question had been addressed quite extensively in other threads. This particular thread is about flags and I'd not want to derail it with such an involved debate because the response to that question is not a quick answer.

I'd happily participate in a thread on the subject if you were to start one. But I would probably be waiting till the weekend to participate as I have other responsibilities that keep me to busy to give it the time now

That's the answer I'm hoping to find from this thread really. If there is one it's not well known enough it seems

Thank you ☺️ It took some thought!

I've seen a pattern with threads being derailed and been watching and leaning

Well done, @PurpleBugz , for sidestepping the attempted derail.

I love rainbows, and my "national animal" is a unicorn. I am a GC Scot, and I am fucked off. Angry 😠😠

German Gender. Bloody love it.

but then there’d only be 3 genders. And a fuckload of grammar..

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 26/05/2023 08:54

There's a 'cats against the patriarchy' flag: wildwomynworkshop.com/category-product/flags/

Alltheprettyseahorses · 26/05/2023 09:24

Better idea. Leave Pride for the LGB people it was created for. There are enough hangers-on already without trying to add another one.
