Though her design is currently the most popular lesbian flag, Sadlesbiandisaster is a problematic user who does not support m-spec lesbians, usage of queer as an identity, or the diverse history of the terms butch and femme. She was previously exclusionary of cis ace-spec individuals, but changed her position on this in 2019<ref>https://sadlesbeandisaster.tumblr.com/post/185383640071/okay-everyone-this-will-be-the-last-post-on-this</ref> (though in the post where she stated this, she maintained her lack of support for m-spec lesbians). She has harmed individuals with those harmful ideals, and she also plagiarized her design from both the butch and femme flags. |

Another flag design is by Tumblr user Apersnicketylemon. The color associations are as follows: purple for non-binary and trans lesbians (also to represent how violets were historically given between women to represent their love), pink for lipstick and femme lesbians (and to represent the beauty of feminine love), grey for [[A-Spec|aspec]] lesbians (and to represent the difficulty to navigating a "grey area" of society), and blue to represent butch lesbians and gender nonconformity.<ref>[https://apersnicketylemon.tumblr.com/post/173994129517/so-i-did-a-lesbian-flag-redesign-because-really Tumblr post on apersnicketylemon's flag.]</ref> |
