There are other users who have created Non-Binary stamps with the Genderqueer flag and a few with its correct Non-Binary flag. Nonetheless, I don't want to upset people or make them feel like their identities are being erased so I will create a new stamp for Non-Binary with its correct flag and a Genderqueer flag with its correct flag but I will still leave my original stamp up in-case people are already using it. If people can see that there are new stamps, they can change their stamp to the new updated version or if they don't want to, that is of course, their right. I hope the person who privately messaged me can understand that.

Nonbinary.org also uses the genderqueer flag and genderqueerid.com uses the genderqueer flag and calls it the genderqueer and non-binary flag... It doesn't help that the sites outside of the Gender Wiki aren't up-to-date yet :P I have always wondered when the Non-Binary flag was created so I looked it up and it was created in February 2014 so that makes sense that visibility and awareness hasn't spread enough yet.  Here are the new stamps:




Satinjoy is amuzed.  Look at my description, what kind of flag could encompass all of that?

Love it.  A radical trans identity, and yet you all really do understand it.

LOL.

But re the rest of it, labels and getting hung up on them, why.  I mean, I get the intensity of being gq and often politically gq at that, to make a strong statement, but at the end of the day, we are simply unique, and it means getting to know us.

My gender is "Satinjoy".  Yours is ... "you".  I'd say Jayce but it leaves out some elements I think, I'd have to re read your posts again.

We are "we" and "me".  Labels are just group identifiers, yet, we can cross groups, so what the heck?

sounds way too complicated to sort out to me.

Sh'e took the little blue ones.

When I first heard the term genderqueer, and then the term nonbinary, they were pretty much one and the same. People still use them as virtually identical terms, like they do with transsexual and transgender.

I've, at this point, run screaming from the label "genderqueer" because NOW it seems to have a context more along the lines of--pardon my french--genderf***, which seems too lightweight and deliberate compared to what I experience, but I'm a total pedant and even *I* think I'm nitpicking when I make this distinction.

Like Suzi said, sounds like someone's just trying to start a fight. I'm surprised this didn't happen on Tumblr.  :P
