    According to Dan McClellan, the cross in the cross-of-gold format is really a very recent pop-Christian symbol (that is, used by people other than Catholic monastics). It only got big in the 18th, 19th centuries

    So the folk who want a gold T to celebrate their trans-ness might have a strong authority to repurpose it…

    well, until it becomes the swastika of the white Christian nationalist movement and designated as a hate symbol.

    I’m surprised that squishier more red-letter based Christian faiths don’t re-adopt the intersecting-circles fish, which is a much older Christian symbol than the cross.

    This necklace is a warning sign that says “Do not have sex with this person.”

      I don’t know how it is now, but when I was a teen, Catholic girls were freaky-deaky DTF. They all wore crosses and easy access skirts.

      Those were good times.

    Oh I so hope this catches on. I’ve encountered a few people that would absolutely be furious about that.

        Guess I should have been more clear. I hope more people say that the cross is actually a T that represents transgender and not that I hope actual trans people would start wearing crosses.

        Mock the cults pushing their agenda of hatred.

        Please stay safe out there trans friends! Don’t make yourself a target with easily identifying symbols if you can.

        I doubt it. Most trans people I meet are really nice, open, inviting people.
