For anyone who reclaims and identifies as both a fag/faggot and a dyke! This is an alternative flag and isn't supposed to replace any current flags! I included a 5 stripe flag for simplicity as well.
This flag is inclusive of mspec identities, lesbians and non lesbians of any kind, lesbians who are men/male or nonbinary, gays of any kind, gays who are women/female or nonbinary, bi/pan/omni and similar identities, femmes and butches, cis and trans people and those who are neither, nonbinary, multigender, and genderfluid people, and more! As long as you identify as a fagdyke/dykefag, this flag is for you!
This flag is NOT inclusive of TERFs, exclus, bigots, etc. or anyone planning to start drama/discourse. This includes proship/comship, radqueers/transid, and anti-endos. I would prefer anyone on my dni to use an alternative flag as well, though I can't stop you.
Please read my carrd before interacting! Also please credit me if you use this flag for your own flag combos or if you use it as inspo!
as a trans dyke, it will always hurt my heart to see lesbian oriented blogs that do not accept or care about trans dykes/lesbians. everytime i find a butchfemme centered blog, i search every form of "trans" i can think of into their blog search bar. if i find nothing, i dont interact with them. 9 times out of 10, theyre a terf or exclusionist. and it sucks. you claim to love butches and dykes but dismiss the overlap between butchfemme and transness? you claim to support "lesbian history" but cant even mention that Leslie Feinberg was transgender and very active within trans spaces? what the fuck. anyway ily trans butches and femmes including anyone who is transmasc, transfem, nonbinary, agender, bigender, etc but especially those who do not fully feel like women (or dont feel like a woman at all). butchfemme terms are for all dykes, not just female lesbians
[ if it wasnt obvious im transgender so terfs go the fuck away thanks ]
cinthigirl — an identity for someone who in some way identifies as a girl/woman that is gay for men; similar to turigirl, just for those who prefer the term cinthean over turian
Oh my fucking god aspec isn't just arospec and acespec and it's getting on my fucking nerves seeing people be like "I support aspecs!! Aros and aces are welcome here!!" Those two sentences mean different things. Aros and aces are aspecs but so are aplatonic people, afamilial people, analterous people, a-aesthetic people, asensual people, et cetera.
Butch+: someone who identifies completely as a butchgender, plus additional genders. They don’t feel partially butchgender, they aren’t fluid, they are entirely a butchgender plus more. Someone could use this term to indicate that they don’t know specifically what is added onto their gender or that the additional genders are not the ‘main’ part of their identity.
Futch+: someone who identifies completely as a futchgender, plus additional genders. They don’t feel partially futchgender, they aren’t fluid, they are entirely a futchgender plus more. Someone could use this term to indicate that they don’t know specifically what is added onto their gender or that the additional genders are not the ‘main’ part of their identity.
Femme+: someone who identifies completely as a femmegender, plus additional genders. They don’t feel partially femmegender, they aren’t fluid, they are entirely a femmegender plus more. Someone could use this term to indicate that they don’t know specifically what is added onto their gender or that the additional genders are not the ‘main’ part of their identity.
My blog is directed at lesbians but anyone can use these labels.
i have no idea why we had some coiners blocked for no reason both on our main and on here so if anyone couldnt see this blog but now suddenly can, thats probably why. i think i unblocked most of them, other than ones on our dni of course, so if youre seeing this youre most likely not. if we had you blocked and youre now unblocked please dont take it personally i literally cannot remember why any of these specific coiners were blocked (plurality moment)
before i forget i wanted to shout out transfems/trans women who are male, masc/butch, multigender, use stricly masc pronouns/terms/names, love men in an inherently queer way and/or call themselves gay for men/achillean/etc, are turgirls and/or any variations, are non dysphoric, and/or never want surgery or hrt. these specific identities get a lot of shit and it sucks to only see negativity/discourse and never any rep for them. love yall
This isn't against anyone in particular but yknow, I'm glad people like my fagdyke flag but its really demotivating to see it be used in other peoples posts with no credit. I've seen it multiple times, without a doubt my flag was used in those posts, but there wasn't any credit at all or a comment that another flag was used. I've posted one flag, I'm a small creator. I want to make more flags but I have chronic fatigue and college to deal with. I put so much of my energy into perfecting that flag and trying to make it as good as possible and I'm really proud of it. It's very personal to me. I added a note on the og post that I'd like credit, but I doubt anyone would check the post again at this point and I don't want to bother anyone into crediting me. Idk. Thank you to the few people who did credit me or linked the og post, it means a lot
being a dog and a faggot , being a dog and a faggot is euphoric , being a dog and a faggot is extremely entwined with each other or an important part of your identity. this could be because of being otherkin , therian , or just having a strong connection to dogs.

SYMBOLISM BELOW CUT
Symbolism in the flag:
The sun is used to represent power and positivity. These two themes are important to queer identities, and represent the reclamation of the terms "fag" and "dyke."
The chevron triangles in the sun are representative of the meaning of chevron shapes in the queer community. They symbolize progressiveness and unity in views and community. It also represents the defiance of the status quo and alignment with non-conformity. These themes are vital for our identities in the queer community, and especially for reclaimed slurs/derogatory terms.
Intended to be a stand-alone gender, however it CAN have genders that fall under [as a gender system] it if one thinks of one!
my take on butch, futch & femme, with representative symbols. the femme symbol is intended to represent a femme's love for butches, and the butch symbol is supposed to represent the reciprocation of love from butches to femmes. the futch symbol is intended to represent a vesatility, with the points of the diamond in all directions. i took a lot of inspiration from card suits :) these are all-inclusive & are not intended to be used by exclusionists or TERFS

below the cut is a personal narrative about my experience realizing i'm a nonbinary lesbian, written for my college English credit course. from my instructor's positive feedback, i thought i would share it with the world somehow.
An average day of second grade was passing by quickly. I came home from school, zipped through my homework, and planted myself in front of the television. Remote in hand, I cycled through my channels of choice. Nothing new on Nickelodeon, nor anything interesting on Cartoon Network. In a last-ditch effort, I switched to the Disney Channel.
That’s when I saw her. Nested in a typical episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, a teen girl with beautiful, shoulder-length hair blazed with a blonde streak in her side-swept fringe tendrils. Her outfit, her accessories, her “cool rebel girl” attitude! I couldn’t help but lean in closer, entranced. With this character, named Stevie, I could not question it: I was attracted to other girls.
There were various other signs to come, for example, in middle school. On a day I was sporting a tank top that didn’t quite fit me, I walked the regular route to my next class with a classmate. She took notice of what I was wearing, with my bra exposed, and decided to comment.
“Luring in the boys, huh, ◼◼◼◼◼?”
I neglected a response, mainly out of sheer confusion and discomfort in this attention drawn to my body. The conversation faded awkwardly by the time I arrived at my awaiting classroom. Before entering, I peered around the hall of students, routinely seeking any sign of the cute girl that dominated my school day thoughts.
Inevitably, high school rolled around. Ninth grade began how my eighth grade ended, mute, panicked, and constantly overwhelmed. However, something was on the horizon. That fall, I was introduced to an artist online who became enamored with me shortly after becoming friends. A month later, we were officially dating. He was a transgender man named Noel; his name chosen himself based on a character of a game we bonded over. Noel spoke with kindness and gentleness between his staple jokes. He confided in me his own journey of healing from his traumatic childhood experiences and even told me, “You can heal, too. I’ll be by your side for this process.”
Is this…how it feels to be cared about? To actually feel loved by another person?
A warm sensation fluttered in my chest. A feeling of safety amidst the boiling storm that was my first day at my new Youth Therapy Day Program. In awe of this tender young man, I felt a spark. A lit match to pass the flame to my Rube-Goldberg machine of candles. I don’t have to be what’s been pushed on me. I don’t have to be that girl, nor a girl at all!
I trekked through my first three years of high school under my new identity as a transmasculine nonbinary bisexual. It was a backpack of textbooks taken off my aching shoulders. However, by junior year, something started to worm back into my mind and fester. Suddenly, walking through the halls of my high school became a warzone for my soft, girl-adoring self. The sway of bobbed hair on one girl, fluttering eyelashes bordering crystalline eyes of another. Every girl I would see was gorgeous, my poor heart was skipping beats every day for a week.
Skeptical, I posed myself a question. Well, what about that boy over there, with the short hair? My mindscape would pause, before lighting up and melting over the idea of a girl with that exact haircut. Blushing at the thought of this made-up person, I was in dire need of what I call, a lesbian epiphany. Between assignments, I couldn’t help but think, what’s wrong with me? Girls are so pretty, I can’t stop staring but…I can’t be a lesbian, I get angry when people call me my birthname. Being called “she” makes my skin crawl.
Do… any lesbians feel like this, too?
I labored over these thoughts until I dashed straight to Tumblr, seeking validation for my identity and pure curiosity. Clicking past the artwork of the sapphic couples I longed to be, I typed “nonbinary lesbian” into the search bar and pressed the return key. Sure enough, there were numerous lesbians sharing experiences, just like mine. Lesbians using “he,” “they,” and even new, custom pronouns. Lesbians with chosen names. Lesbians who experience gender dysphoria and even transition.
“Oh… Oh my god.”
Something deep within me clicked. It’s possible. It’s allowed.
“Oh god, this is it! I’m a lesbian!” I could only whisper it, but had I been home alone and uninhibited, I would’ve screamed it out. I would’ve yelled it as loud as my vocal cords would permit me. Truly, that’s the essence of a lesbian epiphany.
It’s been three years now since I realized I was a lesbian. Despite new struggles, I never knew how comforting that single label could be. I would’ve never accepted this part of me, had I stayed within the scope of what representation lesbians got in common media. Even Stevie, my awakening, was written to be in a relationship with her media’s female protagonist, yet only allowed in subtext and disclosed after the fact.
Even Noel, the assured, clement transgender man, had his epiphany, just like me. In fact, he experienced the same fascinations and realization that I did, within a year of each other. I know two other gender diverse lesbians who reached the same destination, now flourishing with their queer partners in the paradise of lesbianism. That’s a joke, of course. Truly, there’s no one true way to be a lesbian. Every person under this label is different, and there’s no reason to change that. The disclosure of raw, personal stories is the key to my own journey, my lesbian epiphany.
So I never post and I don't have a big following at all but I'm too pissed to just sit around and not talk about this. I'm APALLED by what I just heard come out of Trump's mouth (link)
Trump stated that children cannot choose their own identity without their parents permission. Saying that the "radical left" created the transgender movement/ideas "just a few years ago". I'm literally sick to my stomach. Transgender has existed for centuries. Genders beyond male/female have existed since the dawn of time
I don't even know what to do or say. Please stay safe. Please keep going. You don't know me and it's very scary but we have to keep going
Btw you are not knowledgeable about bisexual history just for knowing the bisexual manifesto :/ You’re not even in the shallow end of the pool of bisexual history, your feet are not even wet
