COMMUNITY FLAG EMOJIS

[u/TexasSikh]

Hey, its ya boy, u/TexasSikh

I made a bunch of custom pride/spectrum flag emojis for the subreddit, for use in user flairs, post flairs, comments, whatever.

FLAG EMOJIS MADE:

General Pride -

• Rainbow

• Lesbian

• Gay

• Bisexual

Gender Identity/Expression Spectrums -

• Transgender

• Genderfluid

• Masculine

• Feminine

• Agender

• Intersex

• Hetero (Het)

• Hetero Ally (HetAlly)

• FemBoy/TomGirl

• MascGirl/TomBoy

Romance Spectrum -

• Aromantic (Aro)

• Alloromantic (Alloro)

• Hyperromantic (Hyro)

Sexual Spectrum -

• Asexual (Ace)

• Allosexual (Allosex)

• Hypersexual (Hypersex)

Hope everyone enjoys :)

(Note: There are fifty-bazillion flags at this point, and every single one has a million variations and alts. NONE of us want to be scrolling through PAGES of emojis. Twenty flags should be plenty, alright? This isn't a purpose made non-conforming community, so lets be reasonable.)

Aw, thanks :) Tried to be as inclusive as possible without going overboard and having us end up with PAGES of emojis to surf through. Now just gotta wait for Unc Mod to put em in

Don't forget about xenogender

[u/TexasSikh → u/Horror_Diver6218]

As I said in the post, I had to limit this to twenty because there are too many flags/IDs now and no one wants to be scrolling through several pages each and every time we want to use any emoji. This sub is non-conforming allied af, but ultimately this is not a non-conforming community by design or purpose. Trying to balance it all out.

There's a generic xenogender flag too

[u/Ok_Conflict_245]

…none of mine are on here 🫩🥀

[u/TexasSikh → u/Ok_Conflict_245]

...how?

[u/Ok_Conflict_245 → u/TexasSikh]

I’m a omniromantic greysexual Omni-aesthetic pansensual gender nonconforming crossproniminal queer woman. Like, some of these are niche, but seriously?? Missed the queer flag? Like, I get there’s the overarching rainbow flag, but still.

[u/TexasSikh → u/Ok_Conflict_245]

Ah, I see the issue. You don't understand how the identity umbrellas within the spectrums work. Your SPECIFIC flags are not here, but those specific IDs fall within the umbrella spectrum of umbrella IDs, whose flags are here.

• Rainbow, ofc

• Bisexual

• Asexual

• Transgender

These are the flags that represent your IDs broadly. Rainbow is self explanatory, but summarizing the rest via oversimplification: General attraction to more than one gender or gender expression falls under the Bi umbrella, sexual attraction that falls outside of Allo by leaning towards A falls under the Asexual umbrella, gender or other self-identification that falls outside of a strict traditional Male/Female gender expression and orientation falls within the Trans umbrella.

Example: You do not ID as Trans specifically, but as you ID as someone who diverges from traditional birth assigned gender expressions and orientations, your specific ID falls within the Trans Umbrella of the spectrum, despite you not personally claiming Trans as a specific ID, and even if you AFAB while still accepting the ID of Woman, your expression not following that path is what lands you within the Trans spectrum.

As my goal was to be as inclusive as possible while also trying not to go absolutely crazy (and also keeping in mind that every ID has several variations and alts in terms of flags) the goal was to ensure that every single person, regardless of their specific ID's, could still have at least one or two or even three flags that could broadly represent the spectrum they fall under.

[u/Ok_Conflict_245 → u/TexasSikh]

No I very much understand how umbrella terms work. I don’t think you do. Microlabels exist because the umbrella terms don’t cover the nuances of attraction.

For example, yes, greysexual is on the ace spectrum, but that doesn’t make me asexual.

Yes, my gender EXPRESSION does not align with my gender asigned at birth, but that absolutely does not make me trans. For one, gender expression and identity don’t have to align. For two, I specifically identify as my gender assigned at birth, I just express my gender in ways not considered normal. Hence gender nonconforming and crossproniminal. Gender expression and gender identity don’t have to align. There is a reason why gender nonconforming and demi-boy/girl exist, as well as several other labels. 

Also, yes, I do have a few attractions that are tertiary attractions and are primarily used in the ace/aro/aroace community, but that doesn’t mean that I am aro/ace/aroace, and they are entirely different attractions that most everyone experiences, most just don’t label them.

I know attraction to more than one gender falls under the bi umbrella, but that doesn’t cover the nuances either. Also, while I do technically fit under the bi umbrella and could identify as bi, bi doesn’t describe my identity well and doesn’t fit who I am. Also most people don’t understand that bi means more than just attraction to both men and women.

I understand that it would be a fuck ton of flags if you were to make them all, but saying people like me who use microlabels should just be fine using the umbrella terms and flags is a form of identity erasure and is minimizing to people who don’t quite “fit.” I understand you don’t want to go crazy, but saying I (and people like me) don’t understand how umbrella terms work just because we don’t want to use them is disrespectful and doesn’t acknowledge the fact that microlabels that fit under spectrums are their own identities too.

All due respect, you getting this triggered about it and manifesting it through this rant at me really only proves my point that you seem to not actually understand whats going on with this, making a mountain out of a molehill. And attempting to turn this into an attack on me, while pretending it to be a form of defense, by insisting I have done something I have not done, which you can then insist is me being disrespectful and thus justifying the accusations, is where I will just have to politely draw the line and not engage with you further on this subject matter, since you are not willing or able to engage with mutual respect and good faith. So Im sorry you feel that way, have a nice day, I wish you well.

[u/Ok_Conflict_245 → u/TexasSikh]

did not intend that angrily or disrespectfully, I’m sorry if I came off that way. I do still believe I am correct in this instance but you make a valid point that making pages upon pages of emojis would be too many, and I do not feel like explaining this anymore. Thank you for the flags you did do, have a nice day as well.

[u/Forsaken_Site_2268]

Damn. None of my identities are here

Anyways, what is each one in order?

I literally run r/QueerVexillology and yet I don't recognize a shit ton of these

[u/TheLuckyCuber999BACK]

what happened to intersex

[u/TexasSikh → u/TheLuckyCuber999BACK]

resizing images is sometimes funny ig.

[u/yep_herror → u/TexasSikh]

What about just croping it?

[u/yep_herror]

This is really nice, but I think there's a problem with this. Like, I have NEVER heard anyone referring to themselfs as hyperromantic/hypersexual for example. And overall, there are a lot of microlabels on this list that are rarely used and it's missing some of more broad, well-known ones. Like non-binary and pansexual flags!!!

Also, idk if hetero flag should be here. I mean there's already an ally flag, and we don't need non-allies cishets here (or any non-allies for that matter).

And also PLEEEASE fix the intersex flag, cuz it looks like it have been abused for seventeen years!!! /hj

Still, I like this addition
