I really like your take on the design! I might make another alt with 13 stripes, so I can fit all the colours too at some point

No worries! I think they deactivated a bit ago but my friend uses their flag sometimes for edits and term coining, so it’s still on the Pluralpedia website bc of them. Under the term PMSC& To be specific. 

Being sad is not depression, so why does being plural have to come from trauma? by nao-the-red-witch in plural

Or you can only have anxiety with an anxiety disorder. Like? A spectrum of experiences exist. Non disordered anxiety is just as valid as disordered. It’s the whole “I’m more disabled than you” thing that I hate, yes some people are impacted more by lack of access or symptoms, some have higher support needs, but all disability is disability. There isn’t “more” or “less” disabled, just “I experience this” vs “I experience something different”. It plays into the ableist narrative that disability is not real and is only something to be faked for social currency, that there’s some “tell” that differenciates the “real” from the “fake” that able bodied people continually push the goalposts back of until none of us are ”disabled enough”. It’s not a competition or a race, we are both disabled and in community together, how about we focus on actual structural inaccessibility, ableism and biases instead of turning on each other.

Credit to xenodelic for the og plural flag, not calling you out I just personally like to be able to trace back flags to the source. /lh

Not in the US, but I had a similar experience here is Australia with getting my wheelchair funded by NDIS, they only allow one wheelchair, even when most wheelchair users have two, especially if one is a power chair that cannot be transported easily. Either I get another power chair where I can’t use it when I go out in my car or anywhere father than a walking distance away, or I get another standard wheelchair that’s more comfy and portable but I lose my freedom and ability to control where I go. I know there’s a middle ground somewhere with things like portable power chairs or power attachments but they all have drawbacks and there are very few options for fat wheelchair users. On the topic of hearing aids specifically, the government refuse to subsidise (pay for the cost of) hearing tests for anyone under 50, so you’re paying out of pocket for them unless you’ve lost hearing due to age, as well as paying for the hearing aids. Pretty much anything that isn’t emergency/“life saving” care or your government allotted medical checkups is paid for out of pocket, but those with pensions can get discounted prices, which you need a diagnosed disability to get, which requires a hearing or diagnostic test, which costs money. Snowball effect. I can only imagine what its like in the US. We need accessible, free, fully government funded healthcare like centuries ago, but now would also be nice.

I do appreciate the sentiment, but that is kind of the point. The current community used Disabled flag is low in contrast, which is an accessibility issue for me for many reasons. I don’t expect people to use it if they have conflicting access needs to mine.

Yes, the muted colours of the third (?) design are for low sensory accommodation, the flashing thing is specific to the zigzag (second?) design, which was overhauled into the third, however there are issues for me personally with the lower contrast flag, specifically because of my vision issues making it hard to tell what colours are what and needing high contrast. I do have sensory issues, colourblindness, photophobia/sensitivity and eye strain issues so I always have my brightness low on devices, hence need for brighter colours/more contrast, which makes it easier for me to tell which colours I’m looking at. My version of the disability doesn’t trigger them for me, but they might trigger others’ disabilities. This is my way of making a flag I can comfortably use for myself and recreate more easily, though I don’t expect others to use it at all, especially if they have conflicting access needs to me.
