This is Japanese sign for LGBTQIA+. Deaf queers in Toronto adopted this sign with a permission by Deaf Queers from Japan. We usually fingerspell LGBTQIA, but we felt that fingerspelling is not accessible for all (for people with dyslexia, physical disabilities, etc.) so we wanted a LGBTQIA sign.
You can get them on merch! Go to carodoodles.threadless.com
short and quick comics about my life as a deaf trans masculine genderqueer person.
'qq' is a code for question mark, used in old hey day of TTY. TTY is a device (that you can see younger me using in the banner) we deaf people used for making phone calls. Nowadays we use videophone.
