Lavender (#b57edc): The mixture of blue and pink (traditional colors associated with men and women, present on the transgender pride flag) as lavender is meant to represent androgynes and androgyny. Also represents the “queer” in genderqueer, as lavender is a color that has long been associated with “queerness” , including gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities.
White (#ffffff): Meant to represent agender identity, congruent with the gender neutral white on the transgender pride flag.
Dark chartreuse green (#4A8123): The inverse of lavender; meant to represent those whose identities which are defined outside of and without reference to the binary. Formerly (#498022), the color is now the true inverse of lavender (#b57edc).
The three colors are not meant to indicate that any of these identities are entirely separate or opposites of one another conceptually; they are all interrelated as well as key concepts in their own right, and there are more concepts and variation of gender and sexuality present that tie into genderqueer identities than can be listed here. The purpose of the flag is to help create visibility for the genderqueer community and related identities.

That’s so weird! What’s terfy about green and lavender? And why have a three-part design when their whole deal is binary?
If i was designing a terf flag it would be blue and pink with a thin black line in between.
Don’t get me wrong, i hate transphobia and oppose the insecure morons who can’t cope with the diverse reality that is the human experience of gender. But i also hate bad flag design.
For those out of the loop:
yes, tho it is sometimes also (ab)used by terfs, which was the intended joke here

I still don’t really get the comic though. Maybe I am still out of the loop.
terfs sometimes use this flag, too. thats what i had in mind making this
i hadn’t heard of that. any idea why are terfs using the genderqueer flag?
it used to be the british suffragettes flag, so it could be appropriation
eh, maybe if you rotate it and change the colors and squint.
