    But people can’t (shouldn’t?) be reduced to their chosen gender. That’s just, offensive. All people are super complicated and this was the idea behind the initial pride flag celebrating the many different colours of everyone. That’s the part I just don’t get. Other than for marketing, why have such a narrow meaningless flag?

      Why don’t you go ask literally everyone about their country’s flag instead of coming to trans people and calling our flag narrow and meaningless?

          I’m not trans, but I guess it says blue becomes pink or there’s no colour or pink becomes blue. I think you’re overthinking it. It’s too late to change it now anyway, it’s probably the second most recognised pride flag there is. No sense getting stressed over a few colours.

            It’s called marketing. The trans community is an easy and loyal market to financially exploit and manipulate. There I said it. I don’t like it, but that’s the way it currently is.

              For flags or plushies? I don’t get why this all makes you object so hard. You seem like you came here to be cross and it’s working.

      idk, my city has it’s own flag, and that’s not weird. There’s more trans people in the world than what live in my city, so I don’t see how it’s somehow more narrow and meaningless.

        To be devil’s advocate, why not flags for paedophiles, for abusers, for homeless people, for abused women, for abused men, for family of victims of murderers, for any other group of people I could construct and market to? The quantity really is not important.

          devil’s advocate

          Yup. That’s standing out in your “contributions” to this thread. Whatever is nasty, whatever is offensive, whatever will upset trans people, you’re here to say it.

          It seems like you are trolling but here is a bit more feed for the troll then

          Actually pedophiles have a flag I don’t know if they identify with it a lot and frankly i don’t care but as digusting as it is It exists

          Also asking why do trans people like this flag and them saying what about paedos even as “the devils advocate” is a fucked up thing to ask

          Don’t bother responding this is all the feed you will get from me

            I don’t actually think it is. I’m not even linking trans people with paedos, so why get so worked up as if I did.

            So one of those groups of people have a flag apparently, what about all the others if the point of those arguing for the flag is that a community needs a flag to identify it.

          If quantity isn’t important, why bring it up in the first place?

          Also, wow, asking ‘if we have trans flags, why not pedo flags’ is super classy. Good job.

              As if you didn’t realise that bringing up pedophilia in a thread about trans people wasn’t incendiary and grossly offensive

                It isn’t. And this is a perfect example of how your emotions have been shaped by media. Please take a step back from social media and smell the flowers.
