What is the Nonbinary Trans Flag and Meaning Behind Its Colors

January 14, 2023 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

Nonbinary, trans, both, or perhaps an ally? Regardless of your identity, you’re going to want to know about this new flag that has merged the trans and nonbinary flags into one inclusive option.

Visibility is key to understanding. It’s important that everyone has representation, a way to celebrate who they are, and methods of connecting with like-minded people.

Flying a nonbinary trans flag is a great way to celebrate who you are or support your friends and family members who embrace this identity.

Let’s learn more about what this unique flag is, why it is rising in popularity, and what it represents today.

Cisgender, Transgender, and Nonbinary Gender

Nonbinary and transgender (“trans”) are both terms that deal with the concept of gender identity. Gender is a socially constructed way to express our internal sense of gender identity.

Those who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth are often called cisgender. Those that identify as a gender other than that which they were assigned at birth are often called transgender.

In addition to those identities, yet another one exists—one that I myself embrace. This identity is nonbinary gender.

While it can vary substantially from person to person, most nonbinary people feel that their gender doesn’t fall on either side of the male-female binary. Nonbinary people may identify as both, beyond or in-between man and woman. They may identify as genderless, or they may alternate between gender identifications over time.

Personally, I identify as nonbinary, because I identify with a spectrum of gender identities.

Nonbinary vs. Trans…Or Nonbinary and Trans?

Because people whose gender doesn’t match the sex they were marked at birth can be considered to be transgender, it follows that people who are nonbinary may also identify as transgender.

For example, if you were marked “male” at birth but you identify as having nonbinary gender, then your gender now doesn’t match the sex you were marked at birth. Of course, because gender identity is personal identity, there is no right or wrong way to identify.

Naturally, transgender people can identify as nonbinary too, particularly if they don’t want to be defined by the traditional male/female binary.

Given these multi-layered identities, the term “nonbinary trans” and “trans nonbinary” are rising in popularity.

What do these terms mean? They are simply a way to express that identities (and allyship) are often multi-faceted.

The Meaning Behind the Nonbinary Trans Flag

There are so many queer pride flags to choose from these days. Two of these popular flags include the trans pride flag and the nonbinary pride flag.

Up to this point in history, people who identified as both nonbinary and trans either had to use both flags or use neither. Now, nonbinary trans folks also have their own unique set of colors to fly with pride.

Naturally, most transgender people would like to be inclusive of nonbinary people and visa versa. Thus, this new flag embraces both of these identities in a single 6-striped flag.

This nonbinary trans flag is a combination of the colors of the trans pride flag and the nonbinary pride flag, merged into one.

Let’s look at the meaning behind this integrated design.

Colors of the Nonbinary Trans Flag

The trans pride flag is made up of stripes of pastel blue and pink, the traditional colors for baby girls and boys. The color white is included for those who are intersex, transitioning, or undefined.

In contrast, the nonbinary flag is made up of the colors yellow, white, purple and black. It was created by Kye Rowan in 2014.  On this flag, the color white represents those with all or many genders, which is different from the trans flag.

Yellow represents those whose gender is outside of the binary. Purple is for those who feel they are a mix of both male and female. The color black is for those who identify as being without a gender.

Nonbinary Flag
The 4-striped nonbinary flag featuring yellow, white, purple, and black stripes.

 

Now, the new nonbinary trans flag represents both communities using an integrated six-striped design.

It combines the colors (and meanings) of the trans and nonbinary flags together into one.

The blue and pink of the trans pride flag compose the top two stripes of the nonbinary trans flag, while the yellow, white, purple, and black of the nonbinary flag compose the bottom four stripes.

A Flag for the Nonbinary Trans Community

More inclusion and more visibility is always a reason to celebrate. Now that you know the history and meaning behind the nonbinary trans flag, it’s time to fly it with pride.

Share this flag with friends and family, allies, and others from across the LGBTQ+ community. This flag and it’s beautiful colors deserves to be seen, just like nonbinary trans people.

Because it’s the New Year, let’s talk about ch Because it’s the New Year, let’s talk about change...

For a long time, I’ve thought about top surgery. I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old when I wanted to run around outside on a hot, sunny day with my shirt off…and I first saw my parents… hesitate. Ughh. 

It wasn’t their fault but I still remember that heart wrenching feeling. To their credit, they ultimately said, “Ok, go do it!” While I did “do it”, I remember the feeling of shame that crept in.

Over the years, being in affirming sporting/rugby circles helped suppress the urge to get top surgery, but it never quite “stayed down.”

So last summer I got keyhole #topsurgery. I’ll talk about recovery in another post because it was definitely weird to not strength train for months.

But in THIS post, I want to share two things:

1. I am SO grateful to my wife Erin for being the supportive and growth oriented partner that she is. 🥰🙏❤️ 

She is now following her call to get a divinity degree and she’s already working in ministry as a Pastor in Training at an incredible, inclusive Presbyterian church here in Virginia. I am grateful to her for supporting me as I become more and more of who I am—and I’m enjoying watching her do the same! Love you, babe!

2. Second, I’m grateful to get to share who I am with my family. This summer we took a trip to Madden’s resort in MN to celebrate my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. (It was actually their 52nd, because we had to postpone it twice due to Covid.)

I was nervous to be in the pools and lakes around them, but I could feel it was my only choice because I knew I wanted them to “know me”. And, how could that happen if I “hid me”?

Ultimately, I have to tell you…it was freeing to be me, as I am, who I am. 

I had the BEST time splashing around and biking and goofing around with my wife, niece, nephew, & sister. 🌊🏖🐟

So, I suppose, this is a gratitude post to thank those who have supported me over the years as I become more and more of who I am. 

Top of that list is my wife, Erin, but there are countless others. ❤️

If you’re reading this, thank YOU for being one of those people in my life too. I am deeply grateful. 🥹

1. Good and bad are labels. All things are experiences. 

2. Maturity is taking full responsibility for oneself. 

3. Having a loving, conscious relationship with myself is a core value. 

4. Emotions do not mean that anything has to be done. 

5. When I am in congruence with what I want, I have it. 

6. I have permission from myself to stop doing anything that doesn’t lead to my peace and empowerment. 

7. Stepping toward emotions and being able to feel them is a superpower. It determines the quality of my life.

Interview with Jenny Nguyen, Founder of the Sports Interview with Jenny Nguyen, Founder of the Sports Bra—The World's 1st Bar to Only Play Women's Sports - shorturl.at/doGHZ

I'm excited to introduce you to today's #podcast guest, Jenny Nguyen, who is a professional chef, elite athlete, and entrepreneur.

I invited Jenny onto the podcast because she has done something extraordinary that is long overdue: She has opened up a sports bar that exclusively plays women's sports!

Despite extensive research, Jenny hasn't found another sports bar worldwide that ONLY plays women’s sports.

Given that it's nearly 2023, this is mind-blowing. As a lifelong athlete, I find her vision compelling and inspiring.

Aptly called the "The Sports Bra", the venue is putting Jenny's culinary skills on display alongside women's sports worldwide.

The Sports Bar has taken its mission a even further by partnering with and elevating other local, women-owned businesses.

Specifically, it:

1. Sources its grass-fed beef from @CarmanRanch, an ranch run by Cory Carman, a third gen rancher out of Wallowa, Oregon).

2. Sources its alcohol from Freeland Spirits, an all-women owned and operated distillery out of NW Portland.

3. Has furniture built by @girlsbuild_org, a non-profit organization headed by @ktmhughes in Portland, OR, that teaches carpentry and construction skills to young girls as a path to empowerment.

Since opening the Sports Bra this April, people have come from ALL over the U.S. and the world to experience it—including many professional female athletes.

To learn more about Jenny as she makes history, features women's sports, and elevates women-run businesses, listen to the episode here:
