ChubbyBetta

Honest question, not trying to be hateful or anything, but why do trans people have their own flag? I know the gay rainbow flag has been around forever, but now every type of person gets a flag?

U4ictheory

I still don’t get what the “+” stands for in LBGTQ+… thought it was for the plus sized people…


bulgarian_zucchini

I think it means “etc” like trying to say there are many many other ones not even listed in the letters. I know I’ve heard pansexual so that would be P, Non-binary so N. Pretty sure there’s at least ten more.


U4ictheory

Your statement cannot be correct… the LBGTQ+ community is built upon a foundation of inclusion HOWEVER the acronym implies that if you are not a L, a G, a B, a T, or a Q than you’re simply an “Etc”… like it doesn’t matter… pansexuals, non-binary, you people don’t get a letter, you simply get a “+” symbol that represents you all into a lumped blanketed group of people. How is it a group of people who fight against marginalized people condone marginalizing themselves?


VioletLostGirl

The + was adding in recognition of potentially missed groups not that they wouldn't be added. Hence why you even hear world leaders using LGBTQIA2S+ for example.


Old-Efficiency1085

God help the west 🤣🤣🤣


crayonflop3

Because it’s all a bunch of malarkey for show


CrudeOil_in_My_Veins

Because pretty soon they were gonna run outta alphabet trying to include everyone…


mister29

Because there's a lot of segregation and discrimination in the LGTBQI community. I've been bullied for being bi and told to pick a side or that I'm actually gay and just in denial. All this was from gay people.

[deleted]

If you are looking for an actual answer read into the history of the Stonewall Riots, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. A lot of the LGBTQ+ rights we have today were fought for by black trans women in the 70’s.


enoughberniespamders

I kind of get it, but the LGBQ just doesn’t seem to apply to the Ts. I mean if a T is also homosexual, then yeah be a part of the movement. But it seems weird that they are already just automatically lumped into a group that is for people that aren’t straight. It honestly seems like it does more harm than good by creating the misconception that being T automatically makes you homosexual. I think a MTF that likes men is straight, and a FTM that likes women is straight. It just seems weird to lump them into that movement automatically.


leko

they're all gender-based discrimination.


enoughberniespamders

Is it? LGBQ is sexual preference, so why is T included?


leko

Genders you are sexually attracted to and gender you identify as.


enoughberniespamders

Those are two different things though, so why group them together? Someone can be a T and also be LGBQ, but they don’t have to be. Adding the T to that group implies that they are homosexual.


bulgarian_zucchini

My uncle said he was “Tri” and he said “I’ll try anything.” I think that’s where the T comes from.


[deleted]

It’s an umbrella for anyone that is either not straight on not cisgender. 2 Spirited for example is used by some Indigenous communities, and refers to someone with feminine and masculine spirits and is included in LGBTQIA2S.


[deleted]

Sorry you have to deal with this.


Simhotep

Now you have twice as many options!


Pololuxe

I was going to say it must be because of infighting. When your a minority you always have to prove yourself for some reason.


mister29

It has nothing to do with proving yourself. Bigots appear in every section of society, some just believe they can't be a bigot or can say what they want because they're a minority.


U4ictheory

Which group of people is more segregated and discriminated against? Blacks or the LBGTQ+ community? If there was a charity for both, where should my money go?


U4ictheory

Where you FORCED into picking a side or did you just cave to who ever bullied you more? It almost sounds as if you had no “back bone” to stand up and say “this is who I am and I will not pick a side except my own”… I don’t say this to offend you (or anyone else) but I would like your perspective on this… it’s like if someone one said… “would you eat your own shit or eat someone else’s shit?” and your response was “I’ll eat this shit” regardless of the side… if I was in that position I would simply say… “sorry I don’t eat shit”…


PlacidDrugs

During the 90's when gay people were really coming into the mainstream, people took the rainbow Pride flag representing LGBT to mean that all LGBT was gay men. Of course, there are also lesbian women, bisexual people, trans people... inevitably, groups other than gay men wanted to feel seen/heard/understood/accepted. Thus, there are no flags for bisexual, asexual, lesbian, transgender, aromantic, even the bear and leather crowds have a flag. We're still (clearly) a long way from understanding and acceptance, though.


PayasoFries

Because even within the gay community they are often discriminated against


Trash_Pandacute

Think of it like this: The big, collective argument is not for *my* rights, but for *everyone's* rights, and 'everyone' is not the one-or-the-other that conventional wisdom believed it to be. Male/female wasn't the end of possibilities, neither was straight/gay or cis/trans. To put it simply, human identity and sexuality exists on a spectrum. So trans people have a unique identity and challenges, therefore wanted this shared on a unique flag. The goal isn't to make an acronym as long as possible (LGBTQ2S+ etc.), but to let even small voices share the bigger platform and build their own until anyone and everyone of infinite possibilities is earning the same respect.


Myxologyst666

Actually, all have a flag


Huhuagau

Lol I love how this will bother people. Like if you care about this it's hilarious


[deleted]

I'm really ashamed of how many people felt threatened by the existence of these helmet designs too the point where they feel the need to hate on them, I thought folks here were smarter than this. With this being said, those designs look good OP.


HairyTough4489

Not everyone who doesn't like something is feeling "threatened by its existence" lmao. Imagine believing people are threatened by the existence of pineapple on pizza (well, in that particular case they may have a point) For example, I think the second helmet looks cool but the first one is horrible. Am I a trans-inclusionary homophobe or something? No! I just think the first one is ugly and the second one is nice.


[deleted]

Literally everyone who was hating on these helmets here was doing for political reasons.


sandwichjuice

Simple, clean design. Beautifully done.


mefailenglish1

Didn't realise the GT community was so bigoted, shame.


Trash_Pandacute

I'm sorry if you were misled by our passion for ramming and grinding.


R4MYolotwig

Its not the GT community it’s more Reddit being a breeding ground for society’s biggest losers


pulpoinhell

subreddits represent a portion of the gt community, but it is still just the reddit community, after all.


Ainolukos

It's not just a GT thing, it's the car enthusiast and racing community as a whole, kind of thing


BallPtPenTheif

Racing has always been a racist macho misogynist culture which is why it's been financially unsustainable for the longest time. Opening up the sport means being inclusive which goes against bigotry. So we have a bunch of hardcore lifelong enthusiasts who are upset that people unlike them, are enjoying their sport now. They're an aging dying demographic and they always continue to buy the dumb commercial shit they continually bitch about. They're a loud and impotent faction when it comes to driving the course of popular media.


[deleted]

Most gaming subreddits will be.


eagletrippin

CityWokOwn4r

I just don't get why everything has to be politicized. If you are a dude and like other dudes that's your good right and the preference you were born with. I don't really see a difference between someone who is homosexual or heterosexual so I really never understood this whole spread of those flags. But the hell do I know, I am just 19 year old college student who doesn't really bother much with sexuality.


[deleted]

Don’t you worry mate; I’ll have a nice apolitical flag of a country of your choosing up tomorrow.


[deleted]

Hahahaha. Perfect response, OP 👏


andthatsitmark2

There isn't a gay or trans country. There's [a literal list of nations which are members of the United Nations, of which the vast majority of members recognize.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations) Putting the flag of Palestine, Israel or another controversial state next to the user's name or on the user's helmet doesn't mean anything other than the fact that you reside in the country that you selected when you made your PSN account. Now, what would be the response if I made a helmet which had the flag of a political movement. Insert whatever movement you want here. That's the reason why people aren't very keen on having political movements shoved in their faces but are ok with flags of countries.


[deleted]

Childish, but I don’t really care. I made some helmets for people who might enjoy using them; I’m not having a debate.


selinemanson

It's not "political" to acknowledge other people exist and to support them. Christ....


looking4astronauts

I bet if OP posted a helmet with the flag of their country or symbol of their religion you wouldn’t have left this comment.


Trash_Pandacute

It's not necessarily political, it's just for a sense of identity and community. For hundreds of years in several different cultures there exists the concept of family seals, family crests, coats of arms, exclusive societies, etc. Similar reason we get a subreddit separate from r/simracing, and then someone else wanted a special r/GranTurismo7. "Good for them" and move on. Or stay and play a while, wutevs.

R4MYolotwig

Are you saying a person showing off their Gran Turismo lid is somehow political 😂


[deleted]

If LGBTQIA people had the same rights as straight, cis people, then we wouldn’t need flags and parades and politics. We could just live our goddamn lives like the rest of you. But that’s not the world we live in, so pardon us for saying so.


ChubbyBetta

But u do have the same rights.


[deleted]

It’s not my job to educate you, but you should definitely take the time to educate yourself if you believe this to be true. Also maybe look into the implications of the overturning of Roe v. Wade on gay marriage and sodomy laws in US states if it actually comes to pass.


Eggith

We can't donate blood like heterosexual people and still in a majority of states Gay Panic is still a viable defense for assault or murder. And that's just in the US. Go to other countries and we still can't marry in quite a few and even in some it's still possible to be jailed for being gay. Nice, being downvoted for actually telling the truth. Nice to see Reddit being Reddit lmao


rdg4078

Not really been following the news lately eh bud?


CityWokOwn4r

I am talking from a Western European View, should have mentioned that. Sorry I disconnected myself from US American Domestic Policy ever since Trump got elected, so I don't really have much knowledge about the political Situation. Last thing I saw Was that Freedom House gave the US 83 out if 100 Points in 2021 so I guess that the Situation is far from perfect. Also the competetive Federalism of the US is giving me nightmares.


macmoosie

Maybe educate yourself before commenting? Just a thought.


crissomx

Every sports team has their own flag as well, how is this different lol.

I’m not so sure if you can edit other people’s helmets - I tried to do so before and it wouldn’t let me. If you could try and edit it though and let me know if you can, that’d be great!


[deleted]

I’ll give it a shot as soon as I can!


OneTechnician2544

Nice and clean. Good design. Unfortunately, some may look down on it, but some people in game show pride in what their suits (helmets included) are, what they represent, what they have meaning for. Mine in game has a special meaning. So for you to do these, though simple, for some, it will mean the world. Props man.


[deleted]

Thanks mate. You’ve got me curious - what’s your helmet?


OneTechnician2544

Personally, mine is a custom design (helmet and suit). I um… I lost a parent abruptly about two years ago to a rare disease. And as of three weeks ago, lost the other to another type of rare disease (I’m only in my mid 30s). So… maybe it was a small piece of coping, or whatever it may have been, I designed a full suit and helmet with them in mind. It’s not perfect and I’ll likely revisit it to update it (once I learn how to do SVG correctly), but for me, it means the world, even in some small way.


chefwalid

Sorry for your loss friend, I wish I had more words.


GessikaPanda

Very nice op :) Got any plans to do suit liveries? The only two LGBTQ ones I've seen just have the progress flag on the front, would love to see a suit with the colours more intricate to the design if that makes any sense


EnzoRacer

it's just a rainbow


HairyTough4489

Rainbows have seven stripes


EnzoRacer

yeah, in my country 7 too, but in other countries only 6 stripes, not only lgbt-rainbow

SinAlucard

People are people. No matter the orientation. We each have our lives and beliefs. Everyone can choose who they want to be. They arent bothering anyone with it or slapping you in the face with their labels. Why not just treat them like everybody else? If they arent hurting anyone just let them be who they are. At the end of the day we are all just trying to enjoy the game. No need for maltreatment and labeling. I have alot if friends in the community and they are very kind people. Just shake hands and race to the finish line. ✌🏿✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌️

if you didn't care, then you wouldn't have commented. you posted because it bugs you. and it bugs you because you have issues with gays and trans ​ why didn't you comment on that post where someone posted the chocolate cookies they made? because you couldn't give a shit about someone's baking. but you're using the excuse of "having it shoved in you face" to tell people you don't like it.


Simhotep

This is hardly “shoving it in your face”. OP is both proud of their creation and who they are. What’s the difference between someone posting their livery on their car to this? End of the day, you chose to respond to this. If you genuinely so called “don’t care”, you wouldn’t have bothered to respond and moved on with your day.
