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.
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.
Don't paraphrase to suit your own agenda.
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.
OK, back in the real world, you're spending a lot of time trolling. Why are you so full of hate?
ad hominum. next.
I criticised your offensive behaviour and that's automatically ad hominem in your view? I think we disagree about what that word means, or you know full well and are still trolling. Why are you so intent to upset trans folks in this thread? Do you not feel they get enough hate already?
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.
Why are you grouping all trans people together as if they're some robot? Why do you think you are the spokesperson for trans people? Both offensive to a large community.
Just shut the fuck up
Loving the projection here.
