Another alternate androgyne flag was created by wrennnnnnnnn and post on r/QueerVexillology on June 19, 2020. Orange is used as a lesser known masculine color, one that doesn't play off of the pink vs. blue aesthetic. Purple, similarly, is an alternate feminine color. The white in the middle represents an absence of gender, same as on the genderqueer and non-binary flags. The Necker Cube is used in the middle as an androgyne symbol.
