It has 12 hands linked in a circle to symbolise the then 12 countries of the European Community. One of them is smaller, representing the hand of Queen Elizabeth II.
Ken did a transphobia apologism on Bsky. Ken doubled down. Ken then complained about it on fedi and presumably thought his day wasn’t going to get any worse.
Then fedora-in-human-form, Jeff, defended him in public.
