    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.

    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.

    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?


  • Oh look, another account posting an image to create a narrative in political memes. Totally not the works of companies like Cambridge Analytica. WTF is wrong with Lemmy today!

    So the story is that Iran, who make gajazillions from oil exports, are going to send a militant to kill a few people for the sake of well, nothing. Also, aeroplane fuel is hot enough to melt steal.

    Honest question, maybe not the right forum, why do trans people worship/idolise the pink/white/blue flag and dance around it like rats for the piper? It doesn’t define them, it contains pink and blue, two colours that are explicitly used for boys and girls separately. Any explanations other than “you don’t get it?” and “so they can be marketed to separately”?
