Aphrodite Lesbian Flag

Aphrodite Lesbian: A lesbian who prefers sexual acts and affection, or who centers sexuality in their relationships

I made an Aphrodite lesbian flag as a devotional act for Aphrodite and especially Aphroditos, because I learned the most popular flag was made by a proud TERF and had a whole stripe for only being attracted to vulvas.

…yeah. It’s bad.

So, here they are!

A seven striped pride flag. In order the stripes are red, hot pink, baby pink, white, light blue, blue, and dark purple.
The same flag but with a statue of Aphroditos (Aphrodite with a penis) overlaid.

The stripes’ symbolism is as follows:

Red: Roses, Aphrodite’s blessings (love/lust)
Hot pink: Sexuality, attraction to the feminine, trans lesbians
Pink: A-spec lesbians, sex-positive asexuals, femme lesbians
White: Community, connection, acceptance
Light blue: Seafoam, allo lesbians, butch lesbians
Blue: The ocean, the variety of lesbians, history
Purple: Solidarity and love with bambi lesbians, Sappho and violets

wait what’s “pretty bad” about having a stripe dedicated to solely liking vulvas?

Who is gonna tell op that that’s a statue of Hermaphrodite and not Aphrodite with a dick

OP, stop being absolutely ridiculous. There’s nothing bad about solely being into vulvas, you’re just a fucking lesbophobe. I also find it ironic how your joke of a flag focuses so much on women who are not sexual (a-spec, bambi, etc), which results in the absolute contrary of the idea behind the rainbow/pride flag. Why the fuck would there be a stripe for “attraction to femininity” (and trans women ) when there is none for masculinity ? And butches and “allos” have the same stripe, I wonder why … Anyway, leave lesbians alone if you cannot handle the reality of our sexual orientation.

Hi! So, normally I don’t entertain transphobes, but I’m just gonna respond to this because it’s so ridiculous and I want to make some points clear to non-TERFS.

So. number one: it’s pretty bad because some lesbians like and have dicks. Get over yourself. Make your own term if you want something for only liking vulvas, but Aphrodite lesbian was coined by transgender folks, so this word isn’t it.

Two: Hermaphroditos*, not Hermaphrodite, which is an actual slur, so good going there. Hermaphroditos and Aphroditos are conflated and likely the same deity to some degree, and we don’t fully know which statues are of which deity. A quick search on Google could tell you that.

Third, asexual Aphrodite lesbians exist. I know this because I am one. And, yeah, solidarity with bambi lesbians is a stripe because Aphrodite lesbian was explicitly coined to be its counterpart. That’s why the term was made. To be the opposite of a bambi lesbian.

Butches express queer masculinity, and for someone so pissed that pussy isn’t on a flag, you sure are upset that the word masculinity isn’t there.

Also, stripes can mean multiple things. I don’t know what the hell you’re trying to imply by butches and allos having the same stripe, especially because you don’t seem personally offended by femmes and asexuals sharing one. Or by that stripe meaning seafoam, or by the bambi solidarity stripe meaning violets. Do you think I’m implying Sappho is a flower? Or is your goal just to strawman a butch dyke because trans people offend you?

I am a butch asexual Aphrodite lesbian. Maybe you can just hop off my dick and mind your own if you’re so personally offended by transbians and ace lesbians. And also maybe like, use google before you get on your reactionary TERF rhetoric on my blog.
