@joepie91 That's the reason I was very skeptical when I first saw the acronym "FLINTA", and over time came to have my suspicions confirmed: it just means "femme, preferably women" - honestly, this is really getting annoying
It does seem to vary a lot by place and context whether FLINTA means "femme-presenting" or "no cis men", from what I've seen - but I'm in the Netherlands where it's an uncommon term/concept so it's possible that over in Germany things look different
@joepie91 Honestly, I gave up asking what it is supposed to mean every single time here in Germany – because every single time it means something different theoretically and actually. My cis wife doesn't even feel well in such settings anymore at all, whereas she is absolutely happy to go with me to queer places and queer events. But whenever I read FLINTA* (especially with the asterisk at the end) my hopes go up, just to be masterly dashed by the organizers.
And this sign above? Well, honestly there is a reason why I went back shunning all C3-events.
@joepie91 And re "femme presenting": if you check out my profile (media-section), you'll see lots of selfies – and you'd probably agree that I am quite femme presenting.
But the last time I went to a FLINTA*-labeled event, the looks I got were enough for me to immediately leave again.
@Nepo @ave@treehouse.systems Maybe not for all. Many non-cis-male people have issues with sharing toilets etc with cis men.
If the facilities do not have single room toilets, i.e. each with a separate door, sink, etc, labeling the binary rooms „all gender" and „FINTA*“ seems to be the second best option.
I wonder why they left out the F.
Leaving some rooms binary is ... a decision 🫤 I understand the rationale, although I personally find it not necessary.
