#flag colors

Disclaimer: If my flag is similar in color to any other flag, feel free to tell me so that I can change it, meanwhile this flag is not meant to be similar to any other flag color wise so it being identical or looking similar to another flag is by pure coincidence!

White: Representing how third gender is beyond both the gender binary and the nonbinary spectrum, inclusive of all third genders that are unlabeled, culturally exclusive, and have qualities that can possibly be described or perceived as feminine, masculine, androgynous, neutral, neither of those things, many of them, etc.

Faded yellow: Disconnect from the gender binary and nonbinary spectrum, represents fading away from both the binary and the nonbinary spectrum.

Black: Area that third genders occupy, away from the gender binary and nonbinary "areas", a distant space or entirely different plane that is nowhere near binary and nonbinary, nor is it derived from them.

That's pretty much it for the flag and color meanings! I really hope the colors I selected aren't too bright or harsh on anyone's eyes! If someone wants to, feel free to drop a more darkened version of this flag via reblog if the colors being too bright is an issue! With that being said, I really wanted a simple flag with only three colors, and nothing too wacky or jumbled. I'm a pretty simple person myself especially when it comes to flags and I really really like how the neutrois flag looks and the way the color scheme is set up so I decided to do something like it for an alternate third gender flag!

Also the meanings for the flag colors are overall supposed to convey how third gender isn't synonymous nor the same as nonbinary. And how it's not connected to the gender binary or nonbinary label. I didn't want to do a whole blue = "male & masc" third genders and pink = "female & fem" third genders thing. That would be shoving this label into many cisnormative and binary categories that would ultimately harm both the label and third gender folks, a major reason why I specifically said can possibly be described or perceived as (mainly by the West) because I don't want to inherently link all third genders to words such as masc, fem, androgynous, neutral, etc. (also not everyone is fond of the whole blue equals boy and pink equals girl kinda thing.) So I used white, often considered a non aligned color in a way, to represent all third genders regardless of how we might present or (not) align ourselves!

And to add on, the reason I chose faded yellow was because yellow (at least on the maverique flag and nonbinary flag) is used to represent nonbinary genders at times and I decided to chose a faded version of the color to show the distancing and space that separates nonbinary genders from third genders as well as how they're unalike and different from one another.

Meanwhile with black, I kind of thought of a different plane or area, that's entirely separate from both the gender binary and nonbinary spectrum. A space that's occupied by third genders and operates in completely different ways compared to other gender spectrums (often due to being tied to specific cultures and whatnot).

Also third gender folks of any sexuality can use this of course! On top of that I'm not the label police, so any third gender person who does use alignments on themselves is also welcome to use my flag!

Since I think I covered the major points, feel free to ask me any questions you might have! Either about the third gender label, how I personally use/perceive it, the history behind it, more details about the meanings behind the colors and why I chose them specifically, and pretty anything pertaining to this post! :D/
