i often see this flag get confused between being tomcat and stag, and i donât actually know which it really is. for example, on the same blog regarding icons, this post claims it as tomcat, while this one says it represents stags. in the former, an extra orange/red flag is presented in stagâs place so that this blue one can be tomcat.
.......but i kind of love that about it. some people will say you canât be multiple identities at once along the scale, or even be fluid between them, just like theyâll say âfutchâ isnât a real or valid identity. theyâre wrong. i am primarily a tomcat, but labelling myself a stag wouldnât be entirely incorrect. i am definitely a tomcat butch because iâm kind of androgynous but wish to appear more masculine and identify with masculinity as a concept, so why canât i be a tomcat stag??
this flag, for me at least, represents a vague combination and/or in-between of both identities, and/or the âdifferent but inseparableâ nature of them, as it literally kind of does already (considering its usage up until now) â just like i did with butchcat. that is me!! that fits how i see myself!! why wouldnât i use it?? (also i love blues, like... a lot)
