cis trans chinese solidarity [pt: cis trans chinese solidarity] ⁑ flag for cischinese people who support transchinese people, transchinese people who support cischinese people, or just a general supportive flag.
The flags are a combo of the cischinese and transchinese flags, following the vertical format of the transchinese flag (just thought I'd look cuter that way), with a wider yellow stripe, like seen in both flags.
I made them equally striped too, just because I don't know how to do complex stripes.
For the symbol, I added little people holding hands, for like solidarity you know. I coloured them just to make it prettier / the figures visually stand out more, and as different colours, to show they're different, but still together. Also, the different colours are still both from the Chinese flag.
The stars in the centre are just inspired by the stars on the Chinese flag. Kind of like, showing your support by wearing matching pins? Or just showing you're like each other, on the inside? Sorry, I'm not really sure where I was going with it, they sure are pretty and unique tho.
And the star in the top is just based off the Chinese flag (duh), which also shows up in the cis and trans versions. I made it a gradient of colours though (from transchinese) just because I think it looks pretty.
(Wow, a lot of this is just aesthetic choices huh?)
I don't think the simple / symbol-less version makes much sense, but I included it anyways, just for if you need it for reference or something, easier to work with.
And if anyone wants a transparent version of the symbol, I can give that too (they're all saved on different layers, so it's easy).
I don't know how to word/name it properly, it's just supposed to be like,,, a showing your support flag type flag,,, like we're in this together? IDK mate ૮(˶╥﹏╥)ა I'm sorry
I mean, I see a lot of anti-transrace/anti-transchinese arguments, and it's like um,,, you're literally talking shit about me,,, even though I'm not transchinese. Like the ideas at their core also negatively effect me, even if they claim they're """defending real chinese people""", it's still the same racist arguments, well, racists use (like the kind of people who've never even heard of transrace). So I ended up looking into transrace stuff just because the other side has the worst arguments.
And, it doesn't even make sense anyways. If people want to be Chinese or see it as desirable, like, great? Literally why would I be upset people think my existence is good? Because I'm going to be honest, the kind of arguments racist/anti-transrace/anti-Chinese people use, where it's all like, "being a racial minority is inherently bad!! It's not society being irrational and hateful, it's just that please-oppress-me DNA that all minorities have. Also they should want to genocide- I mean kill themselves, because of their inferior race. I'm so right and such a good person" etc. etc. they suck. they're just bad.
Also, just like, if you're transchinese, you're Chinese, that's how I see it. And you'd be negatively affected by the same racist/anti-Chinese things anyways.
Even if you go the "well but nobody see them like that so they can't experience racism", again that doesn't even make sense, if any non normative/majority person, like a racial minority, a disabled person, a queer person, etc. "passes" as normative, when people shit talk, threaten, make illegal, refuse to help/accommodate, or just like discriminate those groups of people in general, just because they don't know the person in front of them is part of this group, just because they expect them to go along, doesn't mean they're not included in this, it doesn't mean they're just magically not negatively affected by these things.
Even if they "pass" this magically test of horribleness, what happens when they stop being "good"? When they step out of line by just a little? To be clear, even showing your support for minorities is a form of stepping out of line. And the "successful" alternative, is they just live in fear??? as not truly open / safe about themselves??? That's literally not a good existence. Also, oppression olympics is ridiculous, everyone should matter equally, and that includes pain, which is such a subjective experience anyways. And even if it could be measured somehow, if it's negative, it's negative, and that's no good, I don't like this minimisation or just live with the pain bullshit.
Bro this ended up being a whole rant,,, I swear this wasn't my intent, it just supposed to be a simple flag post.
Closing off, I don't know if these types of flags already exist, I guess in general, probably, but I don't know any cis trans specific versions. I think they're nice though, and that it'd be cool to have them for other IDs too. Like,,, anyone want to try making a russian one? I don't know if I'm confident enough to do it...
