Trans colored cross
Trans colored cross
According to capitalism, I don't exist.
I was in a mood the other day, and went looking at tacky Christian cross pendants. There's a huge variety of them, from real Baltic Amber to cheap acrylic to sterling silver to hand carved mahogany. I started to dive deeper and found ones plastered with stars and stripes, and found ones covered with a big gay rainbow. So I kept digging and... I couldn't find one with a trans flag.
Sometimes I feel very, very alone as a trans Christian, and this was one of those times. I know it's tacky, I know mashing up religious iconography is problematic, I know that if it existed I wouldn't even want one, I know that a product needs a customer... And if there's no product, then there's no customer, and I don't exist.
Make one!
I second this!
to be fair, trans people are like 1% of the population, it's not like trans folks make up a big market for anything
EDIT: nor should we take this to mean anything, capitalism is not for us and we don't need it; we existed before capitalism, we will exist after capitalism.
You're either going to have to get one custom ordered or make it yourself. You are not alone. There are other trans christians out there. I've met a few.
People like you do exist. If there are no trans crosses listed for sale, its because there's not enough demand to cover the cost of a production run. Even you admitted you wouldn't want one.
Don't let capitalism get its tendrils so far into your mind that you think that you have to be a customer to exist.

this is a great way to put it
