This is a question primarily for the queer comrades but of course any of yall can comment.

Recently I saw some criticism of the symbol’s use because so few of those who wear it ever had to actually experience it.

Personally I wear it on my jacket, and have worn it for several years. I don’t think I’ll remove it, but I was curious about other people’s thoughts.

    I’ve been looking for a symbol I can incorporate into my outfits to unmistakably mark my support for the lgbtq+ experience, particularly that of trans persons.

    My typical outfit is a spectrum between business casual and business formal. A pin like a simple way to include that but I don’t really like how un-integral it would be to the rest of the outfit. Something like a Pride Flag Tie would be a part of the outfit in the way that the pin isn’t, but that is A; very limiting to the variety of my outfits and B; feels a bit too silly for the more sober tone of support I’d hope to convey.

    Ah! Trans Pride Cufflinks and Tiebar! (I don’t know why that’s different than a pin in my mind but I’mma start looking around Etsy to see what there is…)
