'''Androgynos''' is a gender from Jewish culture, where one has qualities of both a woman and a man. |
'''Androgynos''' is a gender from Jewish culture, where one has qualities of both a woman and a man. The closest modern, western equivalent would be [[bigender]] or [[androgyne]]. Historically, androgynos was usually assigned to [[intersex]] conditions where there is a mix of male and female characteristics. However, many [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] or intersex Jewish people find that the term fits their experience. |

The androgynos flag was submitted to the Tumblr blog ask-pride-color-schemes by the user tumtum_and_androgynos on December 21, 2016<ref>https://ask-pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/154753324059/image-two-flags-both-are-spilt-into-three</ref>. The symbolism of the flags is as follows: The white and blue bars represent a connection to Judaism. In particular, blue is considered a divine color, associated with the sky and G-d. Meanwhile white has a general symbolism of purity, as it does in many other cultures. The blue and red bars come from the androgyne flag and represent man and woman, thus how androgynos is seen as a mix of the two. |

The blue and yellow flag was designed by Tumblr user Bigfootrights on November 8, 2019<ref>https://bigfootrights.tumblr.com/post/188896540206/i-made-flags-for-androgynos-tumtum-saris-and</ref>. The flag was inspired directly from Adam and Genesis; Adam is described upon his initial creation not as a man (there is no gendered reference other than Them), therefore, an argument can be made that Adam was created intersex. The creator of the flag often sees Adam as androgynos, and thus, the flag was designed with him in mind. The blue reflects the sky, and yellow reflects the sun at the peak of the day. White is meant to parallel the trans flag. |
