'''Freedressing''' is a tacit of acknowledging that clothing is free of gender, along with the act of disavowing the customary school of
Freedressing is contrasted with crossdressing as crossdressing invokes a gender binary mode of expression, while freedressing seeks to liberate people from overly oppressive, socially imposed [[masculine]] and [[feminine]] gender roles and expectations through freedom in fashion. Freedressing was created to describe those who wear clothing regardless of any gendered association.
== History ==
Freedressing was originally coined in 2004 by Leslie Krause, though was not widely known on the internet until 2012.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.freedressing.org/}}</ref><ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://sorcerykid.tumblr.com/post/67567338013/freedressing-beyond-the-binary}}</ref>
== Flag and Symbols ==
Freedressing originally did not have a flag, but it did have a symbol, which appears to have been created by Krause. The symbol consists of a diamond, with a lowercase “f”, standing for "freedressing". The freedressing symbol is a wine purple, used to represent the gender non-conforming community.
The flag was created by Tumblr user gender-resource on January 21, 2021.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://gender-resource.tumblr.com/post/640984927758893056/freedressing-the-tacit-acknowledgement-that#notes}}</ref> The golden stripe represents personal freedom. The white stripe represents the blank slate of autonomy. The wine purple stripe represents subversion of the patriarchy and gender binary.
