Or that they’re personally offended by the explicit inclusion of Trans/GNC/NB gays via the borrowed Trans flag stripe. Or that they just despise the idea of us having a flag beyond the communally-used Rainbow/Progress flags. When I see it, it just tells me that person didn’t actually bother to read anything beyond unsourced/false Twitter drama falsifying my identity/opinions ( like the racism accusations, where I got a direct apology from the person who caused it) which is just par for the course for LGBT “discourse”/drama on social media (especially if you’re openly trans/trans-inclusionary).
RE: the “toothpaste” thing, I honestly don’t find the name upsetting. (I do think the green/white/pink/purple variant might warrant a slightly modified name because it doesn’t have ocean blue in it but I can’t think of any on the spot.) I like it but I’d love to do another survey like the ones in my pinned to see more suggestions! I’ve seen Ocean Flag a lot and tbqh I think it’s fitting, since the flag has layered meanings and represents a large group of people I can see someone more eloquent than me drawing a parallel between that and the rich deepness of the sea and everything in it.
