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.
