Butterfly Pins

[Bernadina]

Hi.

I spotted a discussion today, elsewhere, where they were talking about CD's and CD friendly persons, like store staff, wearing small butterfly pins to identify themselves to each other.

Has else anyone heard of this?

Bernadina,

Very interesting. I have not heard this but I have seen butterflies used in many TG references. The only problem is once this gets out to the general public, how many butterfly wearers will stop.

"Oh, honey! Where's my butterfly pin?"

I quickly remove it from my lapel, "Gee, I don't know, dear."

I can see it happening as we speak!

Now I'll have to go buy my own!

It's neat business idea, buterfly pin makers may make some real good money

( Joking of course. )

I wander here why it always have to come to some sort of labeling? Isn't just enough that staff is friendly anyhow....

But I welcome this, altogether it is not bad idea. Only that someone may wore butterfly by chance not by intended meaning.

I find butterfly a nice symbol it has message of being gentle, nice and subtle message of transformation. Well choosen one.

Hope it will pick up. Let's see what is going to happen with this idea.

Thank you for drawing an attention.

I find this symbol a bit "hard". - Dina

This symbol is MUCH too clinical. The butterfly is a much more meaningful symbol.

I was just pointing out a site I had found and never meant to use this symbol. I prefer the butterfly myself. I found the reading for it interesting though.
