THE CHAFF PROJECT
Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses.
Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.
You follow up with a letter to the business saying you're fucking furious because some nosy dipshit just tried to play fucking genital police with you in the loos. You know lots of trans people (don't name any, if you do) and you wear the pin in support and you're disgusted at them for allowing this.
Blame the business for allowing the behaviour.
Businesses see that their cis customers are getting bothered over a badge and may clarify trans-inclusive policies, so they can kick out the bathroom botherers instead of nice cis allies.
You only need to buy and wear the badge, and you are protecting trans people. You can be genuinely heroic. Even one cis person doing this helps, and everyone you get to join in helps even more.

this approach is valid and encouraged anywhere that has this sort of problem
though it'll cost non-UK participants less in shipping if y'all buy your wearable trans flag merch from your own local trans artists; I'm fond of @nerdykeppie, myself, and while their plausible-deniability pride flag clothing offerings have already fallen to the fucking tariffs, as far as I know @mayakern's have not, and the light blue skirt with white paper airplanes and little light pink hearts
also has pockets

We have some stuff available still - not as much as we used to - and are searching for other options. But yes, these are good ideas.
(We also have the option of getting t-shirts printed pretty much anywhere in the world to avoid high shipping costs, so - email us. <3 )
