LGBT Symbols - Intersex

Intersex

Intersex people are those who do not exhibit all the biological characteristics of male or female, or exhibit a combination of characteristics, at birth. They are estimated by some to be about 1% of the population.

The Intersex Pride flag was created by Natalie Phox in 2009 to symbolize the spirit of those who either are born partially or fully a member of both the male and the female gender. This is symbolized by the outer two stripes which are colored a tone of lavender. The middle stripe combines pink (female) and baby blue (male) in the middle to symbolize the mix between the two genders.
