Labrys Flag - Tumblr Posts
Reminder that TERFs don't deserve shit. Take back the labrys flag, remove the genderqueer flag from their grimy fingers. They think they can use the community's symbols for their bullshit and we can't just accept it. We can't just go 'oh, the labrys flag is a radfem symbol' cuz it ISN'T; it's been appropriated much like the swastika has been appropriated by nazis. Bigotry is uncreative, after all.
Oh would you look at that, you're actually correct about the original usage of the flag. I should've seen that coming, since y'all also love appropriating feminism.
And we do agree on something: the labrys flag is a lesbian flag and not a radfem flag. I never claimed it was the latter, but rather radfems have appropriated it; unfortunately there are lesbian radfems, and they tend to use the labrys flag. Said usage is so common that people have begun associating it with the lesbian radfem crowd, which is something I'm against. I'll say it again: TERFs don't deserve shit.
Symbols that were created to represent love and acceptance don't deserve to be sullied by dumbasses who wrap their ignorance in a flowery ribbon of 'feminism' to make themselves look better.

I love stealing shit from TERFs
had one say 'b-but since we're lesbians the flag is ours by default!' based on lesbianism? I guess. The only problem is that people associate the flag with TERF lesbians and that's when intervention happens, cuz we should NOT let this historical flag be reduced to a hate symbol.

based on this post, which was made by a radfem but i'm reclaiming it because i believe that we should not limit or define such a beautiful, meaningful, and historical flag to people who are not welcome in our community. the more we use it for our pride, the less it is a symbol of their hate.
of course, if you do not feel comfortable using this flag then you do not have to whatsoever. it is a personal choice and i do not wish to force this on anyone. we should be allowed to use whatever flags we want to express ourselves!
hate will be blocked and/or deleted; thank you for showing respect!

always such a power move to use a flag you 'shouldn't' use, whether that be because the creator thinks your experiences are 'invalid', a group of bigots appropriated it, or people think it's cool to mock users of it. I adore the sunset lesbian flag, I adore the labrys flag, and I adore the 'toothpaste' mlm flag. These flags are symbolic of the beautiful experiences of queer people, and how we deserve to be heard, seen, and accepted. NOBODY gets to take that away from us.
