⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"This is a great little Zine. The print quality is fantastic and the explanations for each flag are clear and concise. These should really be everywhere: doctor’s waiting rooms, hairdressers etc."

#Demigirl describes someone who partially, but not fully, identifies as a woman or girl. Demigirl's may also identify as another gender in addition to identifying as a woman/girl, such as #nonbinary, #trans, or #genderqueer.

This week's flag is the... #GayMan flag!

The flag uses greens to represent nature because "...love between men is often seen as “unnatural” in the eyes of society and in religion. Furthermore, gay men have historically used green flowers and plants (Carnations, hyacinths, etc.) to symbolize our love, reinforcing our connection with Nature."

nobody, i repeat, nobody has any say on your identity and labels but you! you dont need to ask anyone for permission, and certainly dont let anyone try to make the decision for you!

"can i use this label if i-" yes! if you think the label describes you and your experiences for any reasons, use it!

labels are not boxes to organize ourselves into neat groups. theyre for expressing our lived experiences! to represent our communities and feelings!

we are not prescribed our labels if we check off certain boxes, we choose them based on what we want to share about ourselves and our lives! they can be as specific, vague, close-enough, unspecified, or anything else as we want them to!

language isnt static. we create language to best express ourselves, and can mold it into any form as we please, or scrap it and create something new to better fit us.

This weeks flag had to be the Trans flag created by Monica Helms!

The flag was designed so that regardless of how it’s held, it always looks correct, Helms explains that “This symbolizes us trying to find correctness in our own lives.”

Creator of the intersex flag, Morgan Carpenter, says the flag seeks '...to completely avoid use of symbols that have anything to do with gender at all.'

Defined by having little to no sexual attraction to any person of any gender, #asexuality can be both an orientation on its own as well as an umbrella term. ☂
