Don't take it too seriously in this case - that T can't even spell "lesbain", let alone know what one is!

This looks some cringey Steven Universe crystal gems nonsense.

I thought it looked kind of phallic, like intruding dicks.

Anyways, what's the deal with all the weird flags all of a sudden? It's like they're really grasping for something concrete to hold on to because the rest of their ideology is just made-up nonsense.

There's technically no official lesbian flag and all of the popular ones from the past are "problematic" apparently. Lots of people trying to get their flag to be the next thing.

Making dumb flags is a TQ+ rite of passage.

[–]MezozoicGayoldschool gay 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Ofc they are "problematic", Labrys flag is associated with feminism, and feminism is only about real women, Lipstick flag is only about femme lesbians, same flag without lips is not transinclusive too. And so on. Ideal lesbian flag for them must not center women at all and must include transgenders in a noticeable way.

I think out of all flags, it is only lesbian flag that is being changed every few years for "not being inclusive enough"?

Labrys flag all the way for me if I had to pick one, but really, what's wrong with the rainbow? That's already supposed to include literally everyone. That's the beauty of it. This flag thing makes the whole of LGBT look like a childish club people can opt in and out of and make their whole personality.

I like the sex/gender(?) symbols a tad bit more. It took me a while to figure out what these flags mean lol. I think the flags are American made? Not sure...But I do not think there a symbol for bi? (So I use flag for flair) ⚢ = lesbian ⚣ = gay ⚤ = straight ⚧ = trans ...

⚥ = ? Is this one trans too or something else entirely?? "Intersex"?

Was kinda hoping someone have answer on this been curious for a while haha.

Edit: It looks like ⚥ is for intersex or androgyny but screw it! Let's use it for bisexuality, it's the closest we have. Lol

For the gaytrending trans people, flags are their only way of showing they are gay/lesbian/bisexual and not straight as they actually are. Since they’re mostly not going to be dating anyone and if they do, it will be someone who is visibly a member of the opposite sex.

They want to do the opposite of living their lives. They want to be seen living a life that is not their own for attention and woke and oppression points.

Colonizers and attention-seeking, always. Putting themselves right in the center, too.

    Your comment was removed for breaking rule 1.

    If you want to generalize men in negative ways, take it to another sub. It's not welcome here, and we do not subscribe to that sort of ideology.

    You don't think the comment "Because men are colonizers and parasites." might be offensive to the gay men on here? Please explain to me as a gay man how I am a "colonizer (sic) and parasite".

    Don't bother, it's impossible to reason with these types.

    Great the “NoT aLL mEn” crowd is here too? I’ll see myself out.

    You might as well, since this is not a feminist space where we demonise all men. You have other places to do that.

    [–]haveanicedaytoo💗💜💙 18 insightful - 1 fun18 insightful - 0 fun19 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    Agreed. I would like this place to remain a neutral space where LGB men and women feel welcome and coexist peacefully.

    Yes please let's not turn this into a battle of the sexes

    [–]yousaythosethingsFind and Replace "gatekeeping" with "having boundaries" 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Yea I agree. I don’t think blanket assertions about all men belong here. While there is certainly a tendency for certain men to invade and colonize women’s spaces, let’s be real, that does not include the men on here, who have no such inclination and should not be lumped in with them.

    Don't forget all the cis libfem WOMEN shoving TRA gender ideology down our throats. Take them with you.

    [–]8bitgay 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    I didn't take offense in that comment, but I don't find it productive either.

    I mean, gay men are going through a similar situation. If the current issue with transbians was caused just because "men are colonizers and parasites" then we wouldn't be going through a similar situation with FtM, yet we are.

    And people might disagree with me, but IMO the whole "men are bad" narrative that was so popular a couple years ago helped making gay men distance themselves from other gay men and instead support FtM as a way to repent for their "cis male guilt".

    The inconvenient truth that many radfems ignore is that the transgender movement would have gone nowhere without the massive support from women/trans"men". It's not men who are pushing for powerful organizations like La Leche League and Planned Parenthood to extirpate any and all words related to womanhood. It's not men who harass feminine hygiene companies to drop the Venus symbol from their packaging. It's not men who are tearing down female-only bathrooms. It's not men who are harassing teens off the internet for making a woke faux pas. It's not men who show up in droves to protest female-only events and spaces. Yes, male millionaires are injecting obscene amounts of money into this nonsense, but the "grassroots" is conducted almost exclusively by women/trans"men".

    The moment women and gay men realize that it's okay to fight for the things that affect us and that we are not inherently required to contort ourselves into mental doormats to appease the latest Oppressed™ group will be the moment real change begins.

    [–]BEB 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I think you're right to a large extent, but in the US women are divided into a few camps.

    There's the woman who's just trying to get by who knows nothing about any of this and would be horrified if she knew.

    There's the old school feminists who have also been busy with careers, kids and elderly parents, who also know nothing about this, although a few are waking up.

    And then there's the pink-haired, Oberlin gender studies grad, now in either HR, a barista/writer or working in a Congress person's office who is all over it and gets orgasmic yelling at other women to get in line for transgender "rights."

    In summary, it's NOT ALL WOMEN who have fallen for this absurd ideology, and once the majority of women who have not been indoctrinated wake up, we will get Trump again. Maybe.

    Over on SAIDIT GC a lot of formerly liberal women are calling themselves politically homeless because the Democrats have abandoned women's rights in favor of trans activist demands.

    If Trump were savvy, he'd make this a campaign issue and promise these formerly liberal women and other women waking up, that he will fight all the pro-trans activist agenda laws that the Democrats have passed, but Trump is far from savvy. Plus he too hates women. Well, not in the Biblical sense...

    I am not sure if I agree with this entirely, but I think libfems certainly have a lot more to answer for than the average male who doesn't give a shit about any of these issues.

    This, so much.

    I dunno if it's the same for lesbian women, but I think the main issue in the gay community nowadays is that many gay men have been taught to not give value to gay men. And we are a quite small minority, so it makes sense that gay guys can feel peer pressured.

    Thats the worst looking gender special flag I've seen thus far. And that takes talent. Why is there a white cross in the middle?

    To symbolize how trans activists have adopted the rhetorical tactics of conservative Christians.

    This is so close to being a Christian flag like Ive definitely seen tons of physical crosses in that style...
