The pink triangle has sometimes been used as a reclaimed symbol of pride and resistance in the LGBTQIA+ community, having previously been used in Nazi Germany to mark gay men who were put into concentration camps.

There are many beautiful representations of queer pride available in 2024, and I quite enjoy the progress pride flag that incorporates recognition of BIPOC justice, trans and non-binary justice, and intersex inclusion.

However, I also very much value the pink triangle. I have a tiny one tattooed on my arm. I think with everything that is going on in the United States of America and internationally, with many laws taking effect adding to the oppression or criminalization of LGBTQ+ people overseas and many protections being overturned domestically, queer resistance and pride are as important as ever.

As a trans woman, I am aware that many politicians, pundits, and clergy-people have been calling for the general eradication of trans people in addition to legislating their exclusions from healthcare, sports, and bathrooms. I wear my pink triangle with pride and I am here to support my clients in their own pride and resistance.

Empowerment and recognition of oppression are central themes of Feminist Therapy, the approach I first specialized in before becoming more fully specialized in Internal Family Systems.
