I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

Sorry, I've just seen nearly that exact wording from anti-trans people.

Genuine naive question, but why is it such an inherent problem being anti-trans if you're not hurting anyone with that belief? Isn't it even more "equal" to accept people's right to have opinions you don't like? I don't think trans people shouldn't exist, but that shouldn't mean I have to like it.

If you genuinely think trans people aren't being hurt by anyone who carries the anti-trans belief, then I recommend looking up some of the many news articles that details violence against trans people.

I've provided some for you, I genuinely hope that you take the time to read these.

The last one I posted tracks all of the current anti-LGBT legislation that's trying to pass into law. It's not just physical or emotional violence trans and LGBT people face, it's also people trying to enact laws that actively deny their rights as human beings. This isn't exclusive to America either, I got results from all over the world during my search.

You may not be violent in your beliefs, but it doesn't mean others aren't.

That is why I qualified the statement with "if you're not hurting anyone"... of course I am not blind to violence by others.
