Flag
The term and flag were created by Gent (Gender-Resource) on March 8, 2021.[1] The jade stripe represents women who use a name that is typically considered masculinity in their culture. The orange stripe represents men who use a name that is typically considered feminine in their culture. The white stripe represents the acknowledgment that names and their assigned gender are a social construction, therefore meaning that any assignment of gender to a name is ultimately arbitrary. The lavender stripe represents non-binary people with names that are strongly considered masculine in their culture. The red stripe represents non-binary people with names that are strongly considered feminine in their culture.
