Oh, bleh. Always steered clear of that place, the name and overall vibe is wack

Always steered clear of that place

I’m glad you were able to find a solution that works for everyone.

What do you have against blahaj?

[–] SimplyATable@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I was talking about "Are the straights okay" specifically. Blahaj is chill

My thing with blahaj is that while its cool that trans people identify with it, the fact that theyre trying to make it universally only be a trans symbol is a bit problematic.

My family has a few and none of us are trans as far as we know. Theyre comfy and cuddly as fuck, and I feel like its something that should be for "everybody" and not just one particular community. Like a bring-us-all-together kind of thing.

To be clear, I'd have just as much of a problem with it if it were becoming a symbol for some other completely unrelated community too, so it's not the specific community claiming it I have an issue with (trans people are people, and a lot of y'all are really awesome)

You sound a bit like those Christians complaining about how the gays stole the rainbow from God.
