#varsex flags

Eunuch: a traditional social category for people who have eunichoid sex traits or who are socially categorized as though they do. The term has traditionally included three major groups: - castrati: forcibly castrated men, often slaves - congenital eunuchs: intersex people with eunichoid traits, often congenital forms of hypogonadism - voluntary eunuchs: people we'd now generally understand as trans (edit to add: @beyond-mogai-pride-flags pointed out in the comments that some also did it for religious reasons! ty!)

Eunuch is a socially constructed category and in different times and places it has also included asexuals, men who spontaneously develop eunichoid traits due to disease/injury, and men who are unable to procreate for whatever reason.

Bright version on right, sensory friendlier version on left. Stripe meanings: - Dark teal: for having traditional connections to both masculinity (blue) and neutrality (green) - Intersex yellow: for intersex people who use or have been described as eunuch/eunichoid, both historically and presently - Orange: for men who are castrated or develop eunichoid traits iatrogenically (i.e. due to treatment for disease/injury, e.g. testicular cancer). On the rainbow LGBTQ+ flag, orange means healing. - Dark red: for forcibly castrated men. Dark red for blood/violence. - Magenta: for trans people who have used the term both historically and presently - Grey: for other groups sometimes included under eunuch who feel a connection to the term

The anonymous individual who requested the flag told me they wanted a eunuch pride flag that was explicitly intersex inclusive, as the already existing one is castration-oriented. Sorry it took me several months to get back to you! 😅
