Nonwoman, Nongendered, Nonman (Bodily Black or Indigenous Only)
(Did not have the spoons for alt text, I am sorry)
Mainly self indulgent, these flags are Black and Indigenous exclusive (it is predominantly focused on Black people, but Indigenous people have experienced degendering and erasure of the self)
Meanings below (apologies if it seems scuffed, I tried to explain as best as i can):
The dark brown and lighter brown stripes are meant to represent Black and Indigenous people who have had been excluded or felt that they have been excluded from gender identities or sexualities because they don't fit the white boxes.
It also represents those who have suffered so much racist dehumanization that individuals feel as though they aren't human enough for their gender.
It does not distinguish between cisgender or transgender individuals because the end result of suffering through racism is the same; this also means that there is no wrong way of using these flags for yourself.
Blue, pink, and purple were chosen to represent respective gender groups, with darker bands being for intense feelings of said gender and lighter bands being less intense/adjacent feelings of said gender.
The white band and white circle represent how whiteness attempts to invade our selves and tear out our identities and how we choose to present ourselves, shaping us into the proper "white" way of being with the ring inside the white band is meant to be the self or the container of who we are. Inside the ring is a double circle, with a circle of color being eclipsed by a black circle with an x.
The black circle is whiteness attempting to cover gender because it cant shape it to the "proper" form of the gender. It covers it to try to erase it completely, as if to say that we are not allowed to have gender because we are not human, we are nonbeings, undeserving of gender or individuality.
The circle of color is your gender, your self and being.
DO NOT USE IF NOT BODILY BLACK OR INDIGENOUS
