    Genderpunks do not care about the [[Binary Genders|gender binary]] and challenge the expectations of society. This does not mean that genderpunks do not respect other people's gender identities. Instead, they do whatever they want with their own gender and openly and vocally do not care what society considers appropriate.

    The first genderf*ck flag was created by Tumblr user yo-ho-sebastian on July 31, 2016.<ref>[https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/148276826255/genderfck Tumblr post announcing the (first) gender*ck flag.]</ref> The purple flag has a pastel yellow border and a stylized pastel yellow skull symbol in the center. The colors are meant to show the different kinds of identities and expressions that go under the term, purple being a mixture of male and female, yellow being outside the binary entirely, and their juxtaposition to show those who experience multiple genders. The skull indicates the rebellious nature of the gender identity.
