AUTISEXUAL: a sexuality that can only be understood through the eyes of autism, or heavily influenced by one’s autism

COLOR MEANINGS:  i started with this here autigender flag

which is sorta just a rainbow minus purple. and then took some inspiration from the pansexual/pangender flag duo to actually arrange it.

first, i did some color editing. i turned the blue to a purplish blue and the red to a pink, then switched the positions of green and orange. i wanted the “deleted” colors to be shown in some way, so i also mixed green and yellow to get a yellower tone, and orange and red to get a redder orange. 

this resulted in two pairings which i found quite interesting. they’re both pretty unconventional, different. kinda clash but also work really well together. they’re not what you would expect as a pretty pairing, yet they are. and that really encompasses autism as a whole, no? we don’t act as expected all the time, but it’s still beautiful and unique.

there’s also another aspect i found quite interesting: the pink and the green are both kinda bright and loud, they give me outgoing and friendly vibes, while the purple and orange are mellow and cool, at least to me. which also is a nice little nod to us and how different we can act not only from each other, but just ourselves depending on how we’re feeling.

 then there’s of course the infinity symbol which is a pretty popular autistic and neurodivergent thing as a whole and a superlight grey barrier between green/pink and purple/yellow to provide a little break in the color action. i actually really like this flag. i’m proud of it and i hope you like it too!

GALAXYGENDERVOID: a non-binary gender that is connected to space, stars, and the universe as a whole that can feel vaguely masculine, feminine, and/or unaligned

COLOR MEANINGS: these colors are meant to be galaxy-like as a whole, tied together by the black hole in the middle. they are also meant to depict the gender spectrum but in a spacelike way:

the magenta stripes symbolize the unique feeling of femininity associated with this gender.

the blue stripes symbolize the uniqueness of galaxygendervoid’s feeling of masculinity

the purple stripes symbolize neutral or unaligned feelings associated with this gender

and the black stripe symbolizes the absence of gender, but in a galaxygendervoid-like way.

PHASMAEIC: a gender related to ghosts, but not scary/violent

COLOR MEANINGS: is it unprofessional to say i don’t know? idk dude this is a real old flag. it looks cool tho

T4T: a label for the trans people who will exclusively or would much rather be in a relationship with other trans people

COLOR MEANINGS: obviously, this looks very similar to the trans flag.

it’s got the pink for femme genders and blue for masc genders, but then in the middle, it’s two things:

-symbolizing neutral/neither/non-binary genders

-symbolizing femme and masc coming together as one community and one partnership (though not all t4t relationships are masc/femme!)

and then there’s the heart for. obvious reasons lkjhgfhj
