The most used dyke pride flag was created by Tumblr user plantbutch on or before February 21, 2020.<ref>https://archive.is/MhVDe</ref> Black represents power, strength, and freedom that comes with reclaiming dyke.

Pink represents acceptance of [[Transgender|trans]] women and inner peace. The white labrys axe represents empowerment, justice, and intolerance of bigotry.

This flag was explicitly designed to capture dyke as a multifaceted identity including but not limited to dykegender people, transmasculine individuals, people whose only identity is dyke, and all kinds of lesbians. The black represents alienation, rebellion, lack of gender, the aro/ace spectrums, stone dykes, [[Butch|butches]], and dykes of color. Purple represents mixed or masculine gender, masculinity and femininity, nonbinary & trans dykes, mspec dykes, and [[Futch|futches]]. Pink represents queerness, feminine gender, femininity (including non-female femininity), womanood, love, WLW, and [[Femme|femmes]]. Finally, gray is for confusion, blurred identity, disconnect, [[Greyromantic|grayro]]/[[Greysexual|gray ace]] spectrums, and those who identify with no or multiple gender presentations.
The first findable dyke flag was coined by a now deactivated user, and was reposted on Tumblr user beyond-mogai-pride-flags account on August 27th of 2018. It has no confirmed meaning.
