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 skull indicates the rebellious nature of the gender identity.
