Line 14:
=== Binary Trans Men and Women===
'''Binary trans''' individuals are those who identify fully, solely and statically as one of the two western [[binary]] genders ([[men]] and [[women]]). This includes both binary trans women and binary trans men, often referred to simply as trans women and trans men - though it's possible for one to be a [[Non-Binary Woman|non-binary (trans) woman]]/[[Non-Binary Man|man]].
*'''Trans women''' are women who were not assigned female at birth, most commonly referring to women who were assigned male at birth (AMAB). Trans women may also identify as [[transfeminine]], though not all transfeminine individuals are trans women.
Line 26:
===Are GNC Individuals Inherently Trans? ===
[[Gender Non-Conforming|Gender non-conforming]] individuals, crossdressers and [[Drag Performers|drag performers]] are not inherently transgender and/or non-binary or associated with the trans community, though many are. This is because presentation does not always indicate one's internal sense of gender identity, and one may dress in a way that is seen as atypical for someone of one's [[gender]] without necessarily having a gender identity that is different to their AGAB.

Line 34:
===Trans+ and Trans*===
Sometimes "trans" is written as '''trans+''' or '''[[trans*]]'''. The asterisk or plus sign indicate inclusion of all transgender, non-binary, and associated identities (such as drag queens/kings and crossdressers), without having to write out "transgender, non-binary, and associated identities" in full every time. Many drag queens/kings and crossdressers are trans or non-binary, and use drag as a way to explore their gender identity. However, performing drag does not inherently make one trans or associated with the trans community.
===Transgender vs. Transsexual===

The transgender flag was designed by trans woman Monica Helms in 1999 and was first shown in a pride parade in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2000<ref>https://archive.is/20120906123604/http://www.gaylesbiantimes.com/#selection-115.134-115.146</ref><ref>https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/art/2014/11/12/smithsonians-queer-collection</ref>. The flag has two blue stripes, the traditional color for baby boys, two pink stripes, the traditional color for baby girls, and a white stripe, representing [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], transitioning, and [[intersex]] individuals.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
In 1999, Johnathan Andrew, aka "Captain John" created a flag for the trans community which he published on his FtM (Female to Male transgender) website called "Adventures in Boyland" in Oakland, California. The pink represents female identities, the blue represents male identities, and the white stripes represent the transition between those identities. Emblazoned on the top left corner of the flag is a combination of the Venus (♀) and Mars (♂) symbols (⚥). The purple within this symbol represents the merging of the male and female identities to incorporate those that are neither female nor male transgender or are a mix of both, now perceived to be a representation of the [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] community.
Another flag was coined by [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew]] at [[User:Hayden000|Hayden000]]'s request on January 16th of 2021, and was first published one day later. The caterpillar and butterfly with the original transgender colors represent the transition to one's true self, whether socially, physically, or both. The colour meanings are as follows:

An alternative trans flag was created based on Monica Helms' flag by reddit user 33ducks around February 2021, with more shades of blue and pink representing a wider variety of ways to be trans. This flag also does not keep the blue/boy on the outside and pink/girl on the inside stripe pattern.
