[ID: Four versions of the touch-averse flag with stripes of desaturated and deep orange, red, black, red, and orange. The first is square shaped, and has only the stripes. The second is the same, but with an added symbol in the middle to represent a milkweed flower. It has five petals, and a pentagon shaped center, with small ovals overlapping the center from the petals. The lines are drawn in orange, with the petals black and red. Th other two versions of the flag is the same as the first and second, but are longer than they are tall. End ID.]
Since I decided milkweed should be a symbol of touch aversion since the colors are based on poisonous animals, here's a version of the touch-averse flag with a milkweed flower on it, with header versions included.
Here's a black and white version of just the symbol so you can make your own stuff. Feel free to also make your own, more symetrical/neat/ect version.
[ID: A black and white drawing of a the front of a milkweed flower, with a pentagon in the center, pointed ovals like claws connecting the points of the pentagon to the petals, and five oval shaped petals, each with an oval inside of it to represent different colors. The image has a black border. End ID.]
As with all my pride flags, feel free to use for literally anything you'd use a pride flag for -- headers, icons, moodboards, redbubble designs, T shirts you print out and sell, literally whatever the hell you want. No credit or permission necessary, though I will ask that you include image descriptions whenever possible.
On a related note, today I coined the term athiktomisia to describe the specific forms of ableism that touch-averse people face, so that it's easier to talk about it and have it be clear what you're talking about, since "ableism" is such a broad term.
