A while back they had a German ad with a closet filled with blåhaj
Yeah they might be onto something ;-)
“Ihr habt BLÅHAJ zum Symbol gemacht. Wir schwimmen mit Stolz an eurer Seite. Danke, Trans Community!”
“You have made BLÅHAJ a symbol. We swim alongside you with pride. Thank you, Trans Community!”
Pride in Leipzig Germany, 2025
So, uh, what are the odds of two trans people sleeping together? I’m asking honestly. Seems a really unlikely combo.
Mercury Stardust (trans handy ma’m) is married to a NB person, iirc, although I’m not sure if they consider themselves trans.
Look at all those labels in one sentence. It’s as if it’s easy to manipulate and isolate people with labels based on a characteristic.
Feeling isolated because people labeled you an asshole?
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”?
I mean, like any pride flag, it’s a symbol that is used to represent them. People like feeling represented, simple as.
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?
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.
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
That sharks are transgender?
I once asked what the shark is about. Their name is Blåhaj and the patron saint of the Blåhaj Zone Lemmy.
