Started a new(old but still new) lace bookmark. Here's my progress after three and a half hours working on it. The colors are for the bi pride flag.

Alright so I'm not sure how to start out this post but I'd like to explain something before I get into what I'm actually going introduce!

For those who don't know, this account is owned by a third gender person of color. I don't identify with the gender binary or the nonbinary spectrum. I didn't realize how many labels relied on being nonbinary, defining themselves by said word, or being on the spectrum until I started to no longer identify as nonbinary. Even the word anonbinary has the word nonbinary in it, which is a word I've been specifically trying to avoid. I know that can sound nitpicky but I tried my best to find a label that wasn't male, female, masc, fem, androgynous, or even neutral, and doesn't use the words nonbinary to describe itself and even upon finding words such as pèra and ilyagender, they don't really specify being anonbinary, which is basically what I'm looking for. (Also I know words like outherine, aporine, atrinary, and abinary, exist but they just aren't for me!)

I'm not comfortable with calling myself aliagender or maverique (aliagender being something I'm a bit iffy feeling on and maverique often being defined explicitly as a nonbinary gender). And honestly, I've been rejecting Western labels due to being anti-binary so I ultimately settled on third gender which is how I identify overall anyway and I don't feel a need to coin something adjacent to it when the word has everything I want (connection to gender via culture, being abinary and anonbinary explicitly etc). But the only third gender flag that I could find, is not something I'm very fond of admittedly. And a big thing I've been struggling with while label searching is finding flags that I actually like and ones that don't strain my eyes.

So this is me coming up with an alternate third gender flag and putting some meaning behind the colors that I chose. My flag is influenced by the nonbinary flag and neutrois flag but ultimately has nothing to do with both. My flag is only similar to neutrois in structure and I took some color meanings from the nonbinary flag in order to contrast from it.

Any and all third gender folks may use my flag of course. I'm not going to dictate "who isn't really third gender" and who "truly is third gender" either. Basically any third gender person can use this. Period. Also this flag was made with being unrelated and apart from the gender binary and nonbinary spectrum in mind. I really wanted to differentiate myself from both so the meanings do mention being disconnected from both labels and anything that falls into them. Any third gender folks who also use the term nonbinary to describe themselves, are more tham welcome to use this of course, just note that I specifically made this with emphasizing how third gender isn't apart of the gender binary nor nonbinary spectrum.

Another thing I want to say real quick is that any and all discourse from white people will be blocked. Same with any gender critical folks, TERFs, radfems, and the like. Also please read my dni before interacting with me. Any and all exclusionists will be blocked!

FLAG AND IT'S COLOR MEANINGS UNDERNEATH THE CUT!

Disclaimer: If my flag is similar in color to any other flag, feel free to tell me so that I can change it, meanwhile this flag is not meant to be similar to any other flag color wise so it being identical or looking similar to another flag is by pure coincidence!

White: Representing how third gender is beyond both the gender binary and the nonbinary spectrum, inclusive of all third genders that are unlabeled, culturally exclusive, and have qualities that can possibly be described or perceived as feminine, masculine, androgynous, neutral, neither of those things, many of them, etc.

Faded yellow: Disconnect from the gender binary and nonbinary spectrum, represents fading away from both the binary and the nonbinary spectrum.

Black: Area that third genders occupy, away from the gender binary and nonbinary "areas", a distant space or entirely different plane that is nowhere near binary and nonbinary, nor is it derived from them.

That's pretty much it for the flag and color meanings! I really hope the colors I selected aren't too bright or harsh on anyone's eyes! If someone wants to, feel free to drop a more darkened version of this flag via reblog if the colors being too bright is an issue! With that being said, I really wanted a simple flag with only three colors, and nothing too wacky or jumbled. I'm a pretty simple person myself especially when it comes to flags and I really really like how the neutrois flag looks and the way the color scheme is set up so I decided to do something like it for an alternate third gender flag!

Also the meanings for the flag colors are overall supposed to convey how third gender isn't synonymous nor the same as nonbinary. And how it's not connected to the gender binary or nonbinary label. I didn't want to do a whole blue = "male & masc" third genders and pink = "female & fem" third genders thing. That would be shoving this label into many cisnormative and binary categories that would ultimately harm both the label and third gender folks, a major reason why I specifically said can possibly be described or perceived as (mainly by the West) because I don't want to inherently link all third genders to words such as masc, fem, androgynous, neutral, etc. (also not everyone is fond of the whole blue equals boy and pink equals girl kinda thing.) So I used white, often considered a non aligned color in a way, to represent all third genders regardless of how we might present or (not) align ourselves!

And to add on, the reason I chose faded yellow was because yellow (at least on the maverique flag and nonbinary flag) is used to represent nonbinary genders at times and I decided to chose a faded version of the color to show the distancing and space that separates nonbinary genders from third genders as well as how they're unalike and different from one another.

Meanwhile with black, I kind of thought of a different plane or area, that's entirely separate from both the gender binary and nonbinary spectrum. A space that's occupied by third genders and operates in completely different ways compared to other gender spectrums (often due to being tied to specific cultures and whatnot).

Also third gender folks of any sexuality can use this of course! On top of that I'm not the label police, so any third gender person who does use alignments on themselves is also welcome to use my flag!

Since I think I covered the major points, feel free to ask me any questions you might have! Either about the third gender label, how I personally use/perceive it, the history behind it, more details about the meanings behind the colors and why I chose them specifically, and pretty anything pertaining to this post! :D/
