But we both know it isn’t.

There should be no class war. A community that fosters it is not helping.

ad hominum. next.

This all feels like some carnival played-out Republican PR seeking drama with actors on both sides.

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.

Seems like a charged question one already knows the answer to.

That isn’t the reason. Nor is it because dating is ‘hard’ or any other BS you’ve been lied to about. Women don’t sleep together because uh… they feel safer together than being with men but because they’re gay/bi. That’s just an example of how politically manipulated/shaped you are.

T4T - Trans-for-trans - is very “popular” (if that’s the right word) within the trans community, and ties in somewhere within the spectrum of the gay sexuality. Any other fancy explanation is politically motivated.

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.

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.

Don’t paraphrase to suit your own agenda.

So then can I ask why did you think comparing trans people to rats led by a piped piper was the way to engage the community if your goal was to promote understanding and inclusivity?

I didn’t compare trans people to rats - only likened their actions of those who dance around this flag. And can you think of a better analogy? Rats are pretty awesome and intelligent creatures by the way. Just because they got some bad publicity over the plague which may or may not have been fake news.

Why would people tell trans people “this is your flag” if not for commercial reasons?

I think the GLBTQ community is unfortunately being very exploited at the moment - with social media being the main driver - not all attention is good attention. I was even listening to Skin from Skunk Anansie say the same the other week (gay black singer) compared to the 90s.

it’s probably the most recognised pride flag there is

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.

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.

The same point was posted before the “ceasefire” to do exactly what you’re doing now. If you want MAGA to ‘realise’ go post the shit wherever those people go. This narrative was posted exactly to manipulate lemmy audiences who already have a hatred towards ICE.

facebook is that way

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.

Removed by mod

may convince MAGA that the ICE gestapo’s anonymity is a liability

lol

cooties!

Because a country’s flag is meaningless nowadays?
