Why is the T bird bigger when it's 10% of LGBT?
what color is transgender
I'm able to read context of the title and it's pretty obvious it's the many colored birds joining together into one pastel pastiche.
I'm pretty sure it's not saying all LGBT+ people are transgender if they unite and act as one.
It was certainly made confusing with the title. I was assuming the blue bird was intended to be trans exclusionary gays or LGB without the T. I really don't know what the title was trying to say.
"LGB without the T" is a common phrase used by transphobes. As the comic notes, division is a tool used by oppressors; all "LGB without the T" means is "Divide yourselves up so we can oppress you like old times".
My biggest beef with the LGBTQIA2+ meme sexuality is that the actual rainbow flag used for 50 years is being erased by countless other random color schemes and with the progress pride flag even BLM. Wasn't the point of the rainbow to be all inclusive? Why does Trans need its own special section now when it even had a specific color of the rainbow?
I forgot to mention why I ranted. It's because of the pastel colors so often associated with new flags. Everything is always pastels.
Ok, so which one of the colored birds is transgender
If they're helpfully lined up in order, it's the purple one!
