That sharks are transgender?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I once asked what the shark is about. Their name is Blåhaj and the patron saint of the Blåhaj Zone Lemmy.

Why is this shark a symbol, because of the same colors?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes. The doll has become a trans symbol.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know that it is a trans symbol, but I couldn't find out why. Is there an actual reason or was it just chosen randomly?

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

From what I can tell, bit of both. It started as a meme on Tumblr, gained popularity because it's easily available worldwide (wherever there's an Ikea), and became gay because Tumblr big gay. The colors nicely matching their

socks
made it more popular among a certain subset of the community, and now everyone agrees it's a symbol of trans (support).

Seeing all the upvotes, I assume I cracked the code.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

I’ve finally learned what blahaj represents. That’s awesome.
