The creator of the trans flag, Robert Hogge (right) who goes by Monica Helms, used to steal their mother's underwear, then moved on to stealing random women's underwear for sexual reasons, and has written a story about an adult man marrying a teen girl who doesn't age.

Monica Helms designed the first trans pride flag in 1999. In "More Than Just a Flag", Helms' memoir, MH states: "I'm both man and woman, neither a man nor a woman, and sometimes both at the same time. I believe I'm enlightened... my brain float[s] between multiple worlds."

Helms describes stealing underwear, using the term "The Girl in the Shadows" to refer to themselves in the third person.

"I found several of my mother's cotton panties and bras... The Girl in the Shadows wanted to try them on. When I did, they felt exciting to wear."

While serving with the US Navy during the 1970s, Helms began stealing women’s underwear from the laundry room.
"A lace bra rolled around... I became transfixed. I no longer obsessed about losing my virginity. I sensed a growing desire to dress as a woman."

Helms then describes stealing women's underwear, saying, "I walked up to the dryer, popped open the door, grabbed the bra... I had just stolen a bra from a dryer. More than that, I enjoyed wearing it. Was I a pervert? I didn't know... this felt exciting."

Helms then begins buying more women's clothing to satisfy a fetish:

"The feelings I had, dressed as a woman, ran the gamut of human emotions. Sexual excitement topped the list of what came over me while wearing women's clothes."

While stationed in San Diego in 1978, Helms began attending drag clubs. One evening, after going home with one of the club’s performers:
"She pulled out a corset from her dresser and helped me put it on. When I looked at my image in the mirror, I couldn’t help but be turned on."

It was at this time that Helms began dating the woman Helms would go on to marry. She strongly disapproved of this fetish. Helms claims to have her told before proposing, but says, "Later in life, Donna would deny that I ever told her about my cross-dressing."

Throughout their marriage, Helms pursued this fetish against her wishes, spending family finances on clothing, makeup.

Helms attended get-togethers, or 'Holiday En Femme,' with other male cross-dressers, where lessons were provided on how to talk and walk 'like a woman.'

Helms' fetish eventually motivated MH to divorce in order to pursue it full-time without wife Donna's complaints.

"I couldn't continue hiding my doctor visits and medical costs, not to mention receiving hateful comments from Donna about my shaved legs and breast growth."

After the divorce was finalized, MH began frequenting sex clubs which "afforded patrons the chance to watch people have sex in windowed rooms." Helms says these clubs "enabled me to fulfill each and every fantasy I had concerning sex with men. This included orgies, hot tubs."

"Once I had gotten all that out of my system... I realized I was a lesbian," wrote Helms, who then began attending lesbian bars "three to four times a week" to "dance with other lesbians".

Helms authored short stories with sexual themes, including forced feminization and age regression. In one story, a man's wife dies after rejecting his cross-dressing fetish, and the man then steals her identity, wearing her clothing to clubs to have sex, even using her name.

One story in particular sexualizes a child, who is described as a witch who doesn't age. An adult man marries her, and their daughter has the father's features but "her mother's magical powers". Helms' memoir makes reference to the desire to have been a little girl.

This story by Monica Helms, involving child marriage, also represents an age regression trope commonly found in TG erotica. Such content is currently available on Amazon, but is also widely proliferated on social media in the form of "sissy captions" or fictional stories.

Helms designed the transgender pride flag in 1999 and has claimed the baby blue, pink and white colors were "divine intervention," but the color scheme is seen in symbols found on pro-pedophile sites. The code predates the flag and has been used in areas of child sex trafficking.

Modern pro-pedophilia orgs have used the color scheme synonymous with the transgender flag - this context predates the flag's design. "Towns on the Czech border with Germany advertise child sex... blue curtains mean a male child and pink curtains a girl." archive.ph/vDiWt

Insults hurled at those who oppose gender ideology include "TERF" and "SWERF".

The gender movement advocates for normalizing "sex work" (prostitution) and also for halting children's puberty, and allowing minors to make decisions of "informed consent" about their bodies.

A trans-identified board member for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and for the European Association (EPATH) has called for the normalization of "ageplay", a sexual activity wherein adults pretend to be children.

Dr Richards of the Tavistock Gender Identity Clinic said that "ageplay" is not pedophilic, which contradicts research into autopaedophilia, an adult being sexually aroused from imaging themselves as children, "common among paedohebephilic participants".

John Money, who coined the term "gender identity", sexually abused children and said, "If I were to see... a boy aged ten or eleven who’s intensely erotically attracted toward a man... if the relationship is mutual, I would not call it pathological."

Volkmar Sigusch, who coined "cisgender", wrote, "There is nothing wrong with pedophilia in the sense of the word, that is, against liking, even loving, children. The sensuality that unfolds between a child and an adult is something wonderful."

During the 70s - 80s, pedophiles organized on a multinational level to lower the age of consent. They were nearly successful.
Pro-pedophile activist professor Gert Hekma says they failed due to a "growing feminist concern".
These days, feminists are censored and called "TERFs".

A video presentation I gave about the creator of the trans flag, connections with US cross-dresser political organizing in the 70s - 90s.
I believe there's a connection with the gender movement's push to halt children's puberty & with pedophilic interests.
