"The transgender Pride flag usually consists of five pink, blue and white stripes, used by trans people and the wider LGBTQ+ community to express pride and allyship. However, the flag is often overlaid with another symbol of the transgender community, derived from traditional gender symbols for cisgender men and women, and Trans Awareness Week seemed like a good time to take a look at the symbol in more detail."
"The symbol is a pictogram that shows a circle with two arrows coming out of the top left and right sides of the circle. One of the arrows has a line through it; there's also a cross coming out of the bottom of the circle. It combines the symbols for cisgender men and women, as well as that for androgyny."
The transgender Pride flag has five pink, blue, and white stripes used by trans people and allies to express pride and allyship. The flag is often overlaid with a pictogram showing a circle with two arrows at the top, one arrow crossed, and a cross at the bottom. The design combines cisgender male and female symbols with an androgyny symbol to represent inclusion. Holly Boswell, Wendy Parker, and Nancy R. Nangeroni created the symbol in the 1990s. Nangeroni helped digitize the design, created a pin, and led trans-rights organizing and remembrance vigils. Wearing the symbol can indicate that someone is transgender or a visible ally.
