Thanks for the kind words, Charley! I appreciate it.
I did want to take a second to talk about why I made the thing in the first place.
I don't presume to hold any special position of authority when it comes to the adult baby community. In fact, I hold the rather controversial position that there actually is no such thing as the adult baby community. We have no common welfare, no common goals, no shared responsibilities. Because, in the end, we're just a group of individuals, trying to live our lives and be happy. I can only speak for myself.
A long time ago when I was first getting involved in the BDSM community I saw the Leather Pride flag - it was all over the place. People had pins of it, bumper stickers too, all kinds of things. And I remember that I'd be driving in my car, or walking down the street, and see it someplace, and suddenly experience this warm, inclusive feeling of solidarity. It was nice to know that there were other people out there like me. It's not so much that I'd see it and instantly fixate on that person, or try to meet them. For me, the positive feeling was of feeling a bit less alone in the world.
I'm also a very big believer in the idea of being proud and self-accepting of who and what you are. I don't require the permission or validation of ANYONE or ANYTHING to feel okay about being an ageplayer. That's another of the big motivators behind why I created the symbol in the first place. Just like gays and lesbians use the rainbow flag, It's a way to say unapologetically that you love who you are.
Having said that, like I said, I'm no one special. If you don't like the symbol, feel free not to use it. Or, design your own! And if you do choose to use it, do so in whatever manner you think is best for you. Do I wear my pride pin everywhere? Nope, I don't. I do make a point of wearing it to kink events, or often when I teach, or host munches. I don't wear it to work, or say, the grocery store. But that's because of my own clear purpose about why I wear it, when I wear it. I don't want or need validation from co-workers, nor do I want that lady buying spaghetti in aisle 6 to tell me it's a good thing I like my diapers.
I have on occasion had people ask me what the symbol is in a non-kink context, and I tell them it's my "universal tolerance flag", if I think they can't handle the real answer. And in a way, it's not really too far from the truth.
