it's so funny, and by funny I mean so blatantly bigoted, how when nonbinary people got upset about being shoved into the new binary boxes of "transmasculine" and "transfeminine" based solely on what we were assigned at birth, all the binary people rushed to insist that it wasn't actually about what we were assigned at birth, it was just how we *chose* to present ourselves.
Not wanting boobs makes you transmasculine. Wanting boobs makes you transfeminine. It was as simple as that, they said. And then they aggressively erased, and still continue to erase, anyone who refuses to be put into these new binary boxes.
But now that they've realized that people have been using these terms with the "it signals how you want to present" meaning, now suddenly they're pissed off that the terms aren't just a synonym for what you were assigned at birth anymore. Even when it's intersex people who explain themselves over and over again. Perisex people will just literally say that these intersex people have no idea what they're talking about and then harass intersex people who try to explain it.
Like it's just proving these people were all lying from the start. They did in fact mean that all AFAB trans people are transmasculine because transmasculine is just a synonym for AFAB, and vice versa. They were just insisting it ~totally wasn't~ to placate all the nonbinary people who got pissed off at being forced into a new binary.
But now suddenly they think AMAB transmasculine people and AFAB transfeminine people are suddenly using these terms wrong because the people who've been forcing everyone to pick one for years don't like that they're not synonymous with what you were assigned at birth anymore, and are actually being used to signal how you want to present.
They really just do not care how many people they have to misgender and erase as long as they get to sort everyone into neat binary boxes with no crossover or alternatives.
They literally decided you have to identify yourself as either transmasculine or transfeminine or else you don't exist at all and will be erased every step of the way until you pick one. And now they're mad that people are joyfully identifying with these terms as a matter of gender presentation and transition goals instead of being pressured into it to erase themselves.
Next time you all invent a brand new gender binary to force on people, at least do us all the favor of not blatantly lying about what it means only to get mad when you find out people have been using the terms in the way you thought wasn't actually true.
Either admit that you use transfeminine and transmasculine as synonyms for what someone was assigned at birth and that you don't care how many people you have to misgender to do so, including binary perisex trans butches and femmes and just literally any nonbinary person who doesn't identify as or with masculinity or femininity in any way, or deal with the fact that people are using these terms to describe their transition goals, path, and gender presentation in a genuine way that, unlike when you force the binary onto people, hurts no one except your bigoted, binarist feelings.
You literally don't get to tell intersex people that they have no idea what they're talking about when they tell you their experiences. You literally don't get to keep erasing and speaking over nonbinary and genderqueer and multigender people.
trying to put a pin in my pronouns as a genderfluid person (AFAB) has been really confusing but i think i might have finally figured out how to put it into words
I like all pronouns. I like them to be used interchangeably and weirdly and confusingly. "They're a pretty boy," "He's my girlfriend," etc. But I leave my pronouns as they/he because I know that people who call me "she" are perceiving me as a girl.
I want people to call me "she" in the way we call crowley and azi "she." Like, oh, look at this gender-shaped being. We acknowledge they are very gender and so we shall use any and all pronouns because they are so gender. - When we say "she" we know she's not a girl. When we say "he" we know he's not a boy. Maybe because she's both. Maybe because he's neither. That's all I want, to be perceived as truly and genuinely gender. All of them, none of them.
But I can't have that because I'm AFAB.
And that's kind of sad to think about.
Edit: After some more reflection it's less "she" in the way we call Crowley "she" and more "she" in the way we call David Tennant/Michael Sheen "she" when they're being gender. Like oh you're a guy but you're serving so much gender that we are going to pronoun you all the genders. Be gender.
Edit II: I am boyflux not traditionally genderfluid but first edit still applies :)
Edit III: I am a not-quite-binary trans man, he/they/neos. Can't quite bring myself to delete this post but whatever
Edit IV: he/him/its

So can we start calling this the progress trans flag and using this, or is that too radical a concept for people in 2023?
[ID: A version of the progress trans flag with eight horizontal stripes of: purple, black, blue, pink, white, yellow, black, and brown. In the center are concentric circles of black, dark purple, and gold. End ID.]
Explicitly include nonbinary and intersex people in the trans pride flag. Not just “including nonbinary people” as a single single white stripe for people with “neutral” genders that 99% of people don’t even know is for nonbinary people, and instead think is there to represent transitioning.
If you want support nonbinary people, one small step is to explicitly include us in the trans pride flag, and not just by lumping all of us together into a single “neutral” category that seems like it’s only there to separate the pink and blue stripes.
I’m tired of binary people, both cis and trans, promoting exorsexism and erasing and speaking over nonbinary people. If the pride flag can change to explicitly include and support trans people and people of color, then the trans flag can change too.
Being trans is not just for binary men and women. It’s not just for perisex people or white people. It’s 2023. How about we put the most erased parts of our community front and center in the trans community, and how about the rest of the trans community be proud to fight with us?
There are three main versions of this flag, with the most simplified version up top.
Symmetrical version:
[ID: Three versions of the trans progress pride flag, both with symetrical horizontal stripes of purple, black, blue, pink, yellow, white, yellow, pink, blue, black, and purple. The first version includes a brown sideways chevron, followed by a gold triangle of the intersex flag, with the dark purple circle in the center. The second version has a brown diamond in the center, with concentric circles of black, dark purple, and gold inside it. The third version has only the stripes. End ID.]
The white and yellow stripe on this six-striped version are reversed so that the white stripe, like the black, is easy to see against all background colors.
[ID: Two versions of the six-striped version of the trans progress pride flag, with stripes of purple, black, blue, pink, white, and yellow. The first version includes a brown sideways chevron, followed by a gold triangle of the intersex flag, with the purple circle in the center. The second version has a brown diamond in the center, with concentric circles of black, dark purple, and gold inside it. The third version has only the stripes. End ID.]
Here is the web archive link where you can download the HD versions of these flags, including the symbols:

Do not add images to this post unless they include a plain text image description in the body of the post directly below the image.
ALT text is not accessible for everyone who needs an image description. Plain text image descriptions are the most accessible option. That’s why I used an image description and not ALT text.
Please also do not suggest replacements or variations of this flag that leave out the black, white, purple, or yellow. They were all chosen for a reason. You can add other colors if you want, but removing the purple, yellow, black, or white is just as egregious as removing the blue or pink would be.
The black, white, yellow, and purple all represent forms of identity outside the binary. Combining the black and white into grey erases so many people and completely misunderstands the purpose of those stripes.
These are the baseline colors for the flag, you can customize them via less saturation, darkness, ect, when making art or using it for your own purposes. You do not need to color pick directly from this flag any time you use it.
Edit 12/10/23: go read this post too.
As of writing this I just got my hair cut and colored the day prior. I got into my car after leaving the salon and giggled and cried over it. I wish I’d known AGES ago that having long colorful hair with the sides and back shaved down was a way to fight my dysphoria. That’s how it goes though right? If you’re on the trans/enby side of things you just kinda keep finding new things that affirm you. It’s National Coming Out Day so I guess happy day to me for always finding new things to come out to myself about and to forever coming out to new friends and partners. I hope one day everyone can be out without fear of hate and bigotry.
