I have used it a few times but always share the link to this blog to show where it came from. <br /><br />Tonight I had to photo-shop it to make it longer in order to use it as the banner for an online support group for trans teenagers. If it is ok with you I would also like to use it somewhere on the new website we are building.<br /><br />If you are not ok with me using the flag or would like to give me a different link to put as its creator/owner please email me at Nick@transfolkofwa.org<br />The email is working for the new website domain but it is still under construction.<br />You can view our old website here... www.transmenofwa.org<br /><br />Thank you for creating such an awesome new flag, it has made it all the way here to Australia! Well done :)<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br /><br />Nick.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337779084254926004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944818126005964967.post-28848645450778938912013-01-10T22:35:03.578-08:002013-01-10T22:35:03.578-08:00Michael I know the meaning of the flags.

The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby 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'.<br /><br />"Jennifer Pellinen created an alternative design in 2002. The colors on the flag are from top to bottom: red, light purple, medium purple, dark purple, and blue. The red and the blue represent male and female. The three purple stripes represent the diversity of the TG community and genders other than male and female. The flag is public domain."<br /><br />There's more info and, of course, reference links on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_Pride_flag" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia page</a>.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933778203663314414noreply@blogger.com
