once more- gender is overrated anyway.


and what does the genderqueer flag mean, you may ask?

"The genderqueer pride flag is a Marilyn Roxie design, 3rd and final version created in June 2011, modified from version 1.0 in June 2010, and 2.0 in September 2010. The design is aesthetically similar to the gay and lesbian, bisexual, , , and flags; that is, horizontal bars of color with special meaning. The meaning of the colors in the genderqueer flag design are as follows:

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 and . 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 identity, congruent with the white on the transgender pride flag.

Dark Chartreuse Green (#498022): The inverse of the lavender color; meant to represent "third gender" identity, i.e. those whose identities are defined outside of and without reference to ."
