Completely agree. I know some of the real lesbians in my generation like and/or choose the redesigned lipstick flags but I can't stand them. To me they represent the acknowledgement of TQ-flavored tumblr identity politics on a larger scale. I remember being shocked at the time how quickly the "new" lesbian flag took off and was now available in a bunch of stores on various things.

This is why I raised this issue to the mods. It was really weird for me to come the original drop the t and start seeing the toothpaste flag, got tumblr flashbacks. And funnilly even the toothpaste flag is not enough for the gender cult.

I know lesbians do not like the gay flag being for gay men, but thats also how I felt when Baker's flag got replaced by toothpaste flag. It felt like we did not matter anymore, in our own movement.
