The Genderqueer flag, designed by Marilyn Roxie in 2011, consists of a lavender stripe on the top, as it is a mixture of blue and pink, traditional colors associated with men and women, in order to represent androgyny. The lavender also represents the queer identity, as it has long been a color associated with the LGBTQ community. In the center is a white stripe, meant to represent the a gender or gender neutral identity. Finally, there is the dark chartreuse green, as the inverse of lavender, it is used to represent third gender identities and all those who identity off of the traditional gender spectrum.
Flags for Good flags are durable 200D polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap ~75D). In their testing, they selected 200D as the perfect flag material; anything heavier doesn't fly well and the "back" doesn't get enough ink, anything lighter feels cheap and won't last very long. Made as a one-sided print but the back has ample (around 90%) bleed-through unlike most other single-sided print flags.
"The term genderqueer originated in queer zines of the 1980s as a precursor to the term non-binary. It gained wider use in the 1990s among political activists, especially Riki Anne Wilchins. Non-binary and genderqueer are umbrella terms for gender identities that are not solely male or female—identities that are outside the gender binary.
Non-binary people may identify as an intermediate or separate third gender, identify with more than one gender, no gender, or have a fluctuating gender identity. Gender identity is separate from sexual or romantic orientation: non-binary people have various sexual orientations. Being non-binary is also not the same as being intersex; most intersex people identify as either male or female." en.wikipedia.org
