Here’s the quote from Monica Helms, the trans woman who designed this flag in 1999: “The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.”

truscum aren’t allowed to use the trans pride flag. the white stripe is used to represent nonbinary people so if you only care about binary trans people then you’re not allowed to use it.pic.twitter.com/myQF4AJJKD

not to b that guy but the basis for truscum is that u have to have dysphoria. like ya most of them r shitty to non binary ppl but that’s not the core truscum belief it’s just the dysphoria thing
-
Truscum overwhelmingly use the "you have to have body dysphoria to be trans" as merely a justification to exclude nonbinary people, to the extent where they will insist nonbinary people who do experience body dysphoria aren't actually nonbinary
-
They also add the requirement of getting GRS to be trans.
-
Yeah, and generally passing as binary. Which means that they are, in effect, anti-enby

They could’ve at least used the same colors as the actual flag and done more pastel-ish colors, this is way too... bright/bold to be appealing to anyone. It’s the kinda colors that hurt your eyes kinda like neons... idk where I was going with this heck.

It's one of the designs for the cisgender flag. Cisgender people can be lgbtq too, so I think it's not all that bad for them to be represented.

Believing that they're are two gender is also kind of racist (and transphobic of course). Many non ocidental societies always considered that they are more then two genders.

Non-occidental = non-western (kinda) Not every culture around the world has had a strict gender binary, even though the culture we live in can make it seem that way.

Look, do you actually want to talk about this? Or just have someone to vent about?
-
What cultures have more genders? And are those even remotely as advanced as ours?

I haven't seen any like that yet but if you know any, feel free to let me know. I am open for arguments.

I don't understand all of the labels but is there a term for a heterosexual male like myself who is in love with a trans woman. I've heard pansexual. As far as I'm concerned, love is love.

Margaret is right! If in general you prefer the company of women (trans or otherwise) then you are straight
