Happy Pride month, my fellow lesbians!
This month let's update our classic battle gear, now including not only a labrys but also a shield that protects our lavender love. By a lesbian for lesbians, you are welcome to use this design as well.
This redesign aims to be respectful of the Roma people, especially Roma lesbians. The mods of this blog have brainstormed for a new design for a long time, and what better time to present it than Pride Month!
Our blog will use this version of the flag from now on to make lesbian pride graphics.

kinda funny how labrys flag is so hated for non existing reasons while the trans flag was made by a pedophile but everyone's fine with that

Reminder that TERFs don't deserve shit. Take back the labrys flag, remove the genderqueer flag from their grimy fingers. They think they can use the community's symbols for their bullshit and we can't just accept it. We can't just go 'oh, the labrys flag is a radfem symbol' cuz it ISN'T; it's been appropriated much like the swastika has been appropriated by nazis. Bigotry is uncreative, after all.

Radfem flags explained!
A guide for baby dykes and new radfems!
Labrys flag:
Tumblr media
Pretty much the most popular lesbian flag that radfems use. It has a lot of historical significance I won't get into now. It's generally seen by others as a flag exclusively used by radfems and terfs but that's not really true.
Pink lesbian flag:
Tumblr media
The second most common flag used by radfems. It is the lipstick flag just without the kiss. A lot of radfem lesbians prefer this flag because it is more well known but not inclusive like the sunset flag is.
Sunset flag:
Tumblr media
This is the most well known lesbian flag but usually least used by radfems as it is trans and nonbinary inclusive.
Febfem flag:
Tumblr media
Febfem means female exclusive bisexual female. This term is used by a lot of bisexual radfems because they either feel more comfortable/safer dating women and or simply refuse to date men (because we all know how men are) this flag is important to some because a lot of febfems don't want people to assume they date men when they use the bisexual flag (although some febfems use both flags or just the bisexual flag)
Radfem flag:
Tumblr media
This flag is not very commonly used. It is just a general flag for radfems to use to showcase that they are a radfem. A lot of people find it pointless.
That's all I have for now! Please reblog with suggestions or corrections!

Why I ( as a Romani person) Hate the Labrys flag.
This info graphic describes the following; the meaning of the flag and incorrect use of symbols, use of facist symbols, the flags resemblance to Ordine Nuovos flag, The harm and commodifying of the death of Romani, Sinti, and Jewing people( heavy focused on the Romani aspect thought) and why its an issue.
Thank you for reading, reblogs encouraged!

LABRYS
My proposal for a radinclus Labrys flag, since the original one has
lots of radfem/TERF ideals related to it, in other words, queerphobic.
This flag can include mspec lesbians, lesboys, gaybians, ALL lesbians!
Monocrome version of the symbol for free use, but please give credit if you are using it for your own flag!

I know the black triangle was used for roma, but it was used for homosexual women as well, yes?
The thing with the Nazi persecution of lesbians is that it's only been very recently researched by historians, the first major works about it date back from the 1990s. It's also a complicated subject to study because the Nazis never explicitly wrote lesbian persecution into the law the way they did for Jews, Roma, or gay men (the paragraph 175 on which they relied to send German gay men to camps date back from the 19th century iirc), so archival evidence is a bit hard to find. It's even more complicated because Nazis destroyed a lot of their documentation in 1945.
So far historians have found no lesbian deported to Auschwitz for the primary motive of her sexuality. When sexuality is mentioned on the entry register it is always as an addendum, never as a primary motive for their deportation. So the majority of the lesbians who were in Auschwitz had been arrested for belonging to another persecuted group (Jews, Roma, political opponents, etc), with their sexuality being an aggraviating factor.
In Ravensbrück, the women's Nazi concentration camp, there were 3 registered lesbians. Two of them were deported for political reasons  (with “lesbian” as an addendum), so they wore the red triangle. One of them was deported for being “asocial”, so she had to wear the black triangle. That is the only example I know of a lesbian wearing the black triangle for her lesbianism.
That doesn't mean lesbians weren't persecuted by the Nazi regime; Nazis destroyed German lesbian culture, closed their bars and clubs, they prevented the publication of lesbian newspapers. They were forced to comply to Nazi sexist policies that wanted German women to marry German men and have children. Being a lesbian in a concentration camp also meant increased vulnerability. In Austria, where lesbianism was criminalized, lesbians were condemned, had to pay a fee, or were sent to Austrian prisons.
I really encourage you to read Claudia Schoppmann and Regis Schlagdenhauffen, because they both wrote very valuable stuff about Nazi lesbophobia.
In general, the black triangle was used to mark asocial prisoners, a very broad and vague category in which Nazis put anyone who didn't fit the other categories. It included Roma, prostitutes, beggars, alcoholics, etc. But Roma have a very distinct place among the rest of the "asocial" category, because it was applied to us not for social reasons but racial ones, because the number of Roma made to wear it far exceeds other "asocial" categories (proportionally speaking), because it was used to brand us for genocide and exterminatory policies, not just persecutory politics (as opposed to the other "asocial" categories), as in: entire families, newborns, the elderly, etc, had to wear it.
Though I am a bit tired of this discourse because the black triangle was not used everywhere, in every camp, or all throughout the Nazi period, frankly I would care less if this discourse wasn't always used as a pretext to minimize the Romani genocide, to negate the Romani genocide, to misrepresent Romani history and anti-Roma racism, etc. Like, the amount of time non-Roma spoke over us about the Romani genocide anytime this topic is brought up is so annoying😭.

Since the labrys lesbian flag is apparently used by a lot of radical 'feminists' I thought it would be a massive power move to sort of combine the trans flag with it lol. Also this doubles as a suggestion for a transbian flag, so it is exclusive to lesbians who are trans. However, that is the only restriction, meaning literally any trans lesbian can use it: transmasc, transfem, trans men, trans women, ALL non-binary people (who use the trans label), etc.

ID: rectangular flag with nine horizontal stripes. The colors from top to bottom are: turquoise-ish blue, pastel blue, blue, pink, white, pink, violet, magenta-ish purple, darker shade of magenta-ish purple. In the middle, a black upside down triangle with a white silhouette of a two headed axe — known as a labrys — on it is displayed. End ID.

I’m tired of flag discourse. My hot take is we should stop crediting people for making flags. Stop giving people ammo to harass someone and look at them under a microscope for any wrong move to cancel an entire flag for an entire minority group. Once a flag is made, it belongs to the group it represents. It doesn’t reflect the creator.
Emily what’s-her-face should not matter. The fact that she says the word dyke should not fucking matter. She’s just a random-ass lesbian just like the rest of us.
And the labrys flag wasn’t “made by a nazi” for fuck’s sake, that is the worst game of telephone I have ever seen next to “fruit is toxic to ND people.” But even if it WAS made by a nazi, it now belongs to my jewish dyke ass and said nazi can do jack shit about it.
