Humans (individually and otherwise) and humanity are constantly growing and developing and changing. There's never going to be an end to where we can go and what we can be, so why would there be an end to our attempts to include and support everyone?
Reminds me that lots of people act like there's some point at which they're done, like they've reached good and can just sit there without any further effort. This is wrong. There is no end. Good is a way of life, not a mark on some paper. We must carry on our efforts, always, never imagining we'll complete the task of "good."
My point being, why not try to evolve a flag? We evolve, the flag evolves. Maybe some time we need a new new one that includes everycritter. We'll always be changing so our expressions of ourselves and our communities will also necessarily change. This isn't a matter of solving an engineering problem once; it's a matter of endlessly varying human nature and expression.
Really hoping I managed to express some of that well ๐ Bit repetitive I guess but I struggle with concision ๐คท
