    Love squidtips, I don’t ride but he’s a really solid motorcycle YouTuber, the only one I’ve ever found to not do annoying YouTuber stuff and refuses to play into toxic masculinity despite being a straight cis man. Top guy.

      His video on how he became an ally and than the video where he gave the trans athlete a platform to just, tell her story? Now that’s saying you’re an ally, and proving it.

      I loved those videos.

    This is not quite correct. The NOMAP flag was not made to look like the trans flag, at least not according to Snopes; that’s just a coincidence that transphobes have latched onto. (Although side note, I don’t think actually think they look similar at all?)

    Snopes wrote a new article this month, but even their old one from 2018 that the video claims to be referencing makes no mention of the trans flag at all. The association with the trans flag didn’t come up until recently, and has nothing to do with the original creation of the flag.
