          My thing with blahaj is that while its cool that trans people identify with it, the fact that theyre trying to make it universally only be a trans symbol is a bit problematic.

          My family has a few and none of us are trans as far as we know. Theyre comfy and cuddly as fuck, and I feel like its something that should be for “everybody” and not just one particular community. Like a bring-us-all-together kind of thing.

          To be clear, I’d have just as much of a problem with it if it were becoming a symbol for some other completely unrelated community too, so it’s not the specific community claiming it I have an issue with (trans people are people, and a lot of y’all are really awesome)

            You sound a bit like those Christians complaining about how the gays stole the rainbow from God.
