Let them transition, affirm their identity, and give them money.

What are some good places for me to donate money?

I'm speaking as an ally, not someone with gender dysphoria. So please take my words with a pinch, no, a handful of salt. But generally, reminding them that you're there for them (of course, only if you are) can mean so much. Having someone to vent towards is always so therapeutic. And when they do speak to you about any issues, try to be a kind and active listener. Reassuring them that they are appreciated and valid is more help than you could possibly imagine. You don't always have to pose a solution to their complaints and sometimes it might seem condescending for a complete outsider to suggest an easy answer to their problems when they haven't been in their shoes.

basically just believe/support them and don't assume that not understanding something means it's fake. obviously call them what they ask you to. it/it's pronouns are a whole different rabbit hole that i will not be addressing at the moment

New Hampshire joins the list of states with bill banning trans athletes

Rep. Rick Ladd, (R), who chairs the committee and is the prime sponsor of the bill, said if enacted, it would support opportunities for girls as enacted in Title IX, the U.S. federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs, "not biological men who claim to be women." He also said it would strengthen a state anti-discrimination law protecting students in public schools. Ladd said requiring sex-generated teams to include people of "self-proclaimed gender identity that does not match the biological gender" would quite possibly reverse the steady increase women's participation and interest in sports because of Title IX

So, OP, What made you pick this flag?

It is definitely not a flag that can reasonably include all people that are not cis.

Enhanced representation for a marginalised and misunderstood subgroup. Intersectionality at work, my dear Blaatson.

Just to clarify:
I've seen people say they are a transgender female. Does this mean they were born male but identify as female or vice versa?

How? What specific gender related issues does this group have that are, even within the Trans community, misunderstood?

So we have the Nazi flag for noncommittal Nazis in the Trans thread. For some reason.

By asking "Nak, why the Strasserist flag?" you are attempting to understand Nakena; something the laws of physics have deemed utterly impossible. Quit while you're ahead, friends. Nak cannot be understood, only acknowledged. Her confusing non-conformity is part of her charm. :p

Thank you. I was looking for a better thread title already.

As for the flag, I've included sources of it's origin right under it which show its a meme flag. I personally discovered it through F7 polandball however. Thanks F7. :p

Yes, your understanding appears to be correct! Grenartia created a good glossary here on the forums that should be able to explain most similar terminology for you:

Maybe he thought the "V" in the title was just referring to the good ol' "two-finger salute" to all the haters?
