Transgender flags, both the Transgender Pride flag and the Intersexual Pride flag are symbols of transgender pride and diversity, and transgender rights.

Transgender Pride flag[edit]
The Transgender Pride flag was created by Monica Helms in 1999,[1][2] and was first shown at a pride parade in Wikipedia:Phoenix, Arizona, United States in 2000.
The flag represents the Wikipedia:transgender community and consists of five horizontal stripes: two light blue (WP), two Wikipedia:pink, and one Wikipedia:white in the center. Ms. Helms describes the meaning of the transgender flag as follows:
- The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby Wikipedia:boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby Wikipedia:girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender. The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives[1]
On Transgender Day, the Wikipedia:Brighton council flies this flag.[3]
Intersexual Pride flag[edit]
The Intersexual Pride flag is for Wikipedia:intersexuals who have a separate definition despite their similarities to Wikipedia:transgender as one can be either a natural born intersexual or later transition from male or female to a female-male with the end result being a combination of the two as the desired outcome rather than becoming fully the other sex. Intersexuality is the condition of being partially female and male at birth; the term Wikipedia:bigender is used for individuals who choose to become intersexual through hormone replacement therapy or for those diagnosed with the condition of acting feminine at one point and masculine at another point. The design is in use on intersex websites.[4]
Alternative Designs[edit]
Jennifer Pellinen created an alternate design in 2002. The colors on the flag are from top to bottom: pink, light purple, medium purple, dark purple, and blue. The pink and the blue represent male and female. The 3 purple stripes represent the diversity of the TG community as well as genders other than male and female. The flag is public domain.[5]
Other Symbols[edit]
Other Wikipedia:transgender symbols include the Wikipedia:butterfly (symbolizing transformation or metamorphosis), and a pink/light blue Wikipedia:yin and yang symbol is also used.
