might be a hot take and pretty niche too but as a brotherboy it makes me REALLY uncomfortable when MOGAI blogs made by people who aren't Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander themselves make new flags, terms and labels FOR US or try to dictate the language brotherboys and sistergirls use..
like why should YOU get to tamper with and modify the language that WE (and when I say we I mean Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trans folks) made for OURSELVES.
why do people who aren't one of us, don't have our experience and never fucking will feel like they have enough of an understanding and authority of our culturally specific experience to create a symbol to represent that experience??
idk I'm just generally sick of whitefellas who think they should have more of a say than we do on our own experiences.
(I also see this happening to other folks with cultural/ethnic/race specific queer identities quite a bit but since I obviously can't speak for those groups if any of y'all wanna chime in and add ur two cents feel free)
