      I used to do that, but i hated sounding jingly as i walked through a quiet space, so i started tucking them into my pocket and it works really well

      Lesbians.

      Its common to wear your keychain externally on a carabiener to show you’re an interested and available lesbian to other lesbians.

      Its similar to the handkerchief codes used by gay men.

        also, for complex societal reasons, lesbians just tend to like things where carabiners are used, such as bouldering. based on that, carabiners have then used by some to signal that they’re lesbian (i haven’t heard of anyone using it to signal availability, that seems like it would lead to confusion very easily). important to keep in mind that carabiners are still worn primarily for their function for most people, including lesbians (that’s how it caught on)

        Hanky codes are also used by women in the leather community, there’s even a color for being into boobs!

        But yeah, carabiners are just a really practical way to carry keys without a purse or big pockets and so lesbians latched on to them. Some of us even wear them on the side corresponding to where we’d typically wear a handkerchief, but that’s rare and I’d only suspect that if the woman is also wearing a handkerchief.

      Which is, honestly, an improvement. Being legally allowed to carry a gun, but considered a criminal for having a sword or spear in your car, is ridiculous. It was another of those fucking laws that allows a cop to crack down on you if they don’t like you, while letting their preferred folks go around willy nilly.

      And in Poland too.

      The only law that applies to sword is a law about hidden weapons, which states that any bladed weapon must be clearly visible on person.
