As a trans woman, I often feel excluded from pride events (search for tans march at Toronto pride to get an idea where I am coming from) and the progress flag helped me feel included. So it's what I fly. Removing these marginalized groups and putting your own logo in place is a bit insulting.

Because of the basic rainbow flag..?

I never said that. What I said is that it's nice to see inclusion.

Why you gotta troll?

Edit: blocked and moved on.

I warned you lol. Can’t talk about it without someone putting words in your mouth. Trolls, malingerers, and plain old people getting mad.

The reply about me doing the gaslighting was the icing on the cake! Reminds me of Reddit.

Projecting much?
You argued against the standard pride flag and said it was not inclusive, without stating a reason as to why that is. But since you're arguing in bad faith I'm not really interested in getting gaslit into some bullshit bigotry argument with some random ass internet troll. Thanks, but no thanks.

In my uneducated opinion, flying a solarpunk flag next to a pride flag would be ideal, even encouraged. Both are compatible with each other, while not overwriting each other's flags.

If you were excluded, it was by people, not a flag. I get where you're coming from, but there is nothing wrong with the standard rainbow flag and putting their logo in the same space the progress flag uses isn't an attack on trans people.

Okay. I'm wrong that the additions made by the progress flag helped me feel included. Thanks for pointing that out.

My problem is that they used a flag design meant for inclusion and removed the inclusive parts. Why is everyone so upset that I didn't like it?

Who said they used the progress flag? It could very well be based on the rainbow flag.

And I didn't say the progress flag didn't make you feel included. I said the rainbow flag didn't exclude you. Those are very different statements. It's objective vs subjective.

Your words came off that you felt these people are doing something negative when I'm willing to bet the creators of the flag were trying to be more inclusive. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
