State your pronouns with this design featuring the colors of the transgender flag. It is good practice to ask which pronouns a person uses. It is not good practice to assume someone’s pronouns based on their outward appearance. Respecting someone’s self-identification means using the gender pronouns with which they most identify. If you do not know/have not asked someone’s pronouns, try to use “they/them” pronouns. The trans pride flag was designed by Monica Helms, an openly transgender American woman, in August 1999. She describes the meaning of the transgender flag as follows: “The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender. The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives.” You may edit the caption.
