The Transgender Pride Flag was created by Monica Helms, an American trans woman and US Navy veteran, in 1999. She described the colors herself: light blue for the traditional color assigned to baby boys, pink for the one assigned to baby girls, and white in the middle for people who are transitioning, or who are intersex, or whose gender sits somewhere outside those two boxes entirely.
There is no wrong way to fly it (there is no upside down) and Helms built that in on purpose as a nod to finding correctness in your own life.
What size trans flag should I get?
Most people are probably looking for a 3ft x 5ft. It is the standard size for a flagpole, a porch bracket, or a dorm wall, and it is the size you see at every march and every Pride.
The 2ft x 3ft is the move for a smaller wall, a window, or anywhere a 3x5 might be too large.
If the flag is going outside full time, get the double-layered 3x5. Two layers of fabric mean the colors stay saturated from both sides and the flag holds up longer against sun and wind. Single-layer is fine indoors and fine for a season outdoors, but the double-layer is what we send people who fly a flag year-round.
For the yard, the 18in x 12in garden flag fits a standard garden flag stand.
Trans pride you can wear
Not everyone wants to fly a flag, and in a lot of places flying one is a bigger decision than it should be. Our hard enamel pins work for a jacket, a bag, or a lanyard. The lapel pin is smaller and reads as quiet if you need it to. We also have stickers, earrings, tees, and other ways to rock this flag in your own way!
Transgender flag mashups
We also make trans flags for specific places. Indiana, Colorado, Florida, Tennessee, Minnesota, Chicago, Salt Lake City...and a Mothman version of course. Some of those states have made life measurably harder for trans people in the last few years, which is exactly why those flags exist and why we keep making them.
Who your $1 goes to
Every flag, pin, and patch at Flags For Good sends $1 to the charitable organization you choose on the product page. We have sent more than $400,000 to amazing charities so far!
How our flags are made
Double-stitched edges, a triple-stitched fly edge on newer runs, and grommets for a flagpole or bracket. We are moving the whole line to CiCLO biodegradable polyester, which breaks down in a landfill or the ocean the way natural fiber does instead of sitting there for centuries.
