The Intersex Flag

For people born with variations in sex characteristics.

Gives the petals a makeover across the site. Saved only on this device.

Where it comes from

Designed by Morgan Carpenter of Intersex Human Rights Australia in 2013.

What the colors mean

  • Yellow and purple were chosen because they aren't tied to gender
  • The unbroken circle stands for wholeness, and for the right to decide about our own bodies

Meanings are the ones the designers and community have shared. Lots of people make their own, and that's valid too.
