The Transgender Flag

This is one of several versions of the transgender flag I’ve been able to find on the Internet.  No offense to its creator, but, it doesn’t really say much about us as a group.  I mean, blue and pink stands for boy and girl, as does the symbol in the left hand corner.  But, it’s still rather generic.

We have a very diverse community, and if we’re going to fly a banner, it should try to represent that diversity.

Sure, we can keep the pink and the blue, even though some might argue they are stereotypical colors imposed by a cruel and rigid society.

But maybe we should also have a band of grey, to represent everyone who isn’t precisely male or female.

I’d also add a stripe of black for all those among us killed by violence.

A dark blue would account for the depression so many of us endure.

Add some green for those who sit and wish they had it better.

And yellow for those too afraid to make a change for a better life.

Or…maybe we should just stick with the pink and the blue.
