LGBTQ* Signs, Media, and Symbols Revel & Riot’s  Trans(*) Snowflake’s Poster Following text form Revel & Riots webpage: Gender is the topic - symbols, representation, boundaries and transformation. The original inspiration is gendered bathroom symbols, a graphic that cuts deep for many transgender people. Using a public bathroom can be a stressful and often dangerous experience for trans people. We sought to turn the mens and womens bathroom symbols into beautiful patterns, to take a heavy image and make it light, (a snowflake) and to use the offending image itself to honor subtleties where homogeneity seems like a requirement. `Symbols To Ice Crystals : Transgender Equality Now`
