I was thinking about this today and I really have two different, opposing feelings on it.  What do you think? Why?

      I not only would I own a high quality one I loaned it to a local school to fly at half mast on TDOR I will never hide the fact I am trans even if  one day I become passable  I wear a transgender pendant every day it is part of who I am

I have no fear of being trans. I'd fly it happily anywhere.

No.  But I do often wear one pink earring and one blue earring.  I'm not ashamed of the fact I'm transgender.

Nope

No
My sister thinks it'll always be obvious I'm trans anyway... so yeah don't think I need a flag!

Sorry but no. Being a transsexual is not something I did, it is not a club, state or country. I can see flying the flag in support and I find it laudable, but it also sets us apart. I have been apart, segregated and alone, when does it end? I am not much, kind of a joke really, but I have paid my dues in every way that can be expected of anyone. I am not very good at helping others go through what I already have, but I try. I don't feel that I owe anyone.

I will not hide and I will do what I can to help change the way that trans people are viewed, but I am not advertising and making myself a target of hatred for someone who knows nothing about me.

It could be that makes me a coward, I don't know but then again I don't care. I have nothing to prove.

Yes, because I love unicorns.

I have an equality sticker on me car and would put a trans sticker on it if and when I find one. I have not flown a flag on my lawn for a while but if I could find a new America flag and trans flag I would fly them on holidays. I am not out actively looking for flags.

I understand about paying dues. I am on our works pride executive committee and I do not wear a rainbow anything. It is redundant. However, I have a rainbow pin I guess I should wear to show I have been trained in diversity and am a designated safe person.

Not really the flag type of person as I don't have anywhere to put one but I wear my trans necklace most days..

Absolutely not! Why not just wear a T-shirt that says I'M TRANS.

Good idea. 

Yes, I have a full-size trans flag that I fly on TDoR and TDoV.  I have also worn a trans flag pin in public on occasion. 

I have a triangular trans logo pendant that I wear if I am meeting a trans internet friend in person for the first time.  Kind of a "yes, this is me, you have the right person" sign.

I don't go out of my way to be visible.  In fact, I am quite happy to be taken for a cis woman by strangers.  But I don't go out of my way to hide either.  There are times when I want to stand up and be counted, and I don't mind who sees me doing so.

Proud to be Trans and a member of the trans community We have been trans since birth and will always be trans.  Lets have a new really representative flag..Art competition on Susans place

  Not into politicizing my existence my being trans is a personal issue, it is part of me but not the sum total of who I am.  I view flags of all types to be divisive and promote an us against them mentality.

Even though our police chief is a lesbian woman, people are not very informed about anything LGTBI. If I flew a trans flag, people would wonder what country it's from. They certainly don't want to hear about what they think might be some dude having his junk cut off. People are really that dense. They'd prefer to just view me as a rather tall woman, and I'd rather be treated as one.

All of my vehicles (though I haven't owned one in a while) have had a regular pride sticker as well as a leather pride one.

Trans pride less so, I'm not wild about the colors

I have a small flag stick to my fridgirator door. Was planning to use that last November during the remembrance day, but forgot to tie it to my sleeve. Next time

But I just love the idea of putting pink and blue earrings!

My sister gave me a trans flag shortly after I came out, and I hang it in the window of my house.  I know a lot of really good people who are trans, and seeing the flag reminds me of them and of the fact that there is still light in the world.  I also have a hat that says TRANS on it in big pink and blue block letters.  I only wear that at events specifically for LGBT people.  No sense in actively trying to get my teeth knocked in. 

Nope but it's not due to fear. I can support anything,  even things I am not.

It's because I don't have pride in being trans.  This is something I've never understood.
I hate it! I need to upheave a huge part of my life just to be me. Where's the pride in that?
