... How could they not? The blåhaj thing has been going on for years lol
you put å in a wrong place haha
Mb, not Swedish :(
apology not accepted, i expect you to show us your new citizenship within the year.
Why is this shark a symbol, because of the same colors?
Yes. The doll has become a trans symbol.
I know that it is a trans symbol, but I couldn't find out why. Is there an actual reason or was it just chosen randomly?
From what I can tell, bit of both. It started as a meme on Tumblr, gained popularity because it's easily available worldwide (wherever there's an Ikea), and became gay because Tumblr big gay. The colors nicely matching their
made it more popular among a certain subset of the community, and now everyone agrees it's a symbol of trans (support).socks
Seeing all the upvotes, I assume I cracked the code.
I’ve finally learned what blahaj represents. That’s awesome.
Why are there no trans flags in any of the ikea stores i went to
Are you in a red state?
Romania hates trans people and is a country so i think yes
See. This is how it's done.
IRON YOUR DAMN FLAGS PEOPLE!

I once asked what the shark is about. Their name is Blåhaj and the patron saint of the Blåhaj Zone Lemmy.
