I will most definitely be giving myself a Lesberado tshirt. Wish that the Bette for Mayor shirt actually said that instead of 2020 but I’ll probably pick one up too.
Thank you for shopping at the Autostraddle Store Carmen San Diego! ALSO WHERE DID YOU DISAPPEAR OFF TO AFTER I SAW YOU AT THE TO L AND BACK EVENT?!
I can’t tell you where I was, It ruins the game!
hahahaha
So I was with my wife, who I told “oh I’m gonna introduce you to Sarah, my cabin daddy.” Boy did I have to explain to her what I meant by that…
OMG haha! I didn’t realize I held such an apt title.
Ooh liking that new they/them pin. I already have to the og purple one, the larger green one, and will get this to have all three. How does the size vs the other two? The only thing I want is that NB shirt in pin form. I also plan to get the misandrist pin for my bff cause she keeps getting banned on social media for saying ALL MEN ARE TRASH.
Thanks! It was designed by the amazing Betty Turbo (www.bettyturbo.com) who also designed our Bette for Mayor tee. These are 1″ tall, so slightly smaller but infinitely more shiny. It’s a similar size to the OG purple pin.
Agreed on the NB shirt in pin form — we’ll see how it does this season and will potentially do it. And yes, your BFF definitely needs our Misandrist pin. 100%.
ooh! gal pal sweatshirt!!!
any chance you all will do a he/him pronoun pin sometime? I know it’s not your primary audience but many non binary people use he/him (and lots of queer women/nb people date people who use he/him)
personally I use he/they but would only want to buy the they/them one if I can also get a matching he/him
The neverending dilemma: Love Autostraddle, love the designs, hate crewneck tees and much prefer scoop or V-necks…
Here’s an article about cutting up or otherwise altering a t-shirt! One of my sisters almost always cuts up her shirts

100% in for another color option of Who All’s Gay Here. The original is one of my favorite things to wear.
