      I saw that before writing the comment, and it doesn’t really change anything. If you want a blahaj of your own and got the sewing skills (from the looks of it you do need to be quite skilled), then sure but if you want to commercialize it and start sewing for others, you’re now a small business and my comment above elaborates on what usually happens with small businesses.

        Okay. But since it’s owned by a corporation that hates unions and doesn’t care about us (most likely) currently we wish trans and queer folks would stop promoting it as a trans and queer symbol and paying them for the privelege of owning one.

        We don’t understand why other trans folks would possibly want to give money to a corporation for a commodity they ultimately get no benefit from in the grand scheme of things.

        Edit: We personally think this is a much better symbol, especially because some of the money goes to trans artists. Sure it’s not the entire trans community, but at least a trans person gets something, unlike with blahaj.
