I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.
It’s so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!
I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.
Specifically, it’s to save their children (who are absolutely all straight and cis-gendered) from any exposure to others; except to ostracize, harm, and eliminate those others.
Here in Alberta, “Take Back Alberta” is a group of fear-mongering hate-based transphobic assholes who organized the “Save The Children” and other protests, and now are pulling the strings in our government. The leader is a contemptible home-schooled evangelical minister.
I think it’s to save them from sexual orientation education in schools? Some people think teaching our kids about gender fluidity and acceptance will somehow make them gay.
Yeah that’s my point. It seems like the person is saying that it’s crazy to believe that the #savethechildren bumper sticker is anti-trans. It’s a really common right-wing ‘trick’. You make up a phrase implying gay or trans people are after kids and then go “it doesn’t say anything about that on the sticker, I guess that says something about trans people if that’s where your mind went” when called out on it.
Genuine naive question, but why is it such an inherent problem being anti-trans if you’re not hurting anyone with that belief? Isn’t it even more “equal” to accept people’s right to have opinions you don’t like? I don’t think trans people shouldn’t exist, but that shouldn’t mean I have to like it.
He’s got it right, took me a second to parse but in a vacuum “save our children” doesn’t have connotations with transgender individuals, but in our nonvacuum it lends plausible deniability as to what the true message is
Edit: and I replied to the wrong comment lol, we’re all in agreement regardless
Any weird flags you don’t recognize that don’t involve rainbows are either sexual orientation flags (biaexuals have the best by far!) or some weird right wing shit.

With the trucker convoy sticker and the anti-trans save our children sticker, I’d say the ods are is horrible.
crazy that “#saveourchildren” is somehow anti-trans to these people
Save the children from what?

Sorry, I’ve just seen nearly that exact wording from anti-trans people.

Being trans, gay, understanding of the world, or empathetic is what they’re trying to “save the children” from, in that order of priorities.
Ahhhh nuts… I didn’t notice the stickers…
