Queer Easter 2001
Gay and Lesbian symbolsThe Transgender FlagThe flag embodies all aspects of our identities. Whether transgender or transsexual, going from male (blue) to female (pink) or from female (pink) to male (blue), or just somewhere in between, both flag designs capture the subtilities and the strengths of our spirits (and the white accents in between the lines are the - supposedly - the little triumphs that happen during the transgenders journies to become whole (the flag as a whole)). The lavender-colored sex symbol - not to be confused with The Artist Currently Not Known as Purple's symbol - can also designate FtM/MtF/or Intersexed/Both/ Shifting. As you can see, both flag designs/symbols can be used to encompass all types of gender variation. Hell, who knows, maybe it just might catch on.
