This flag is controversial due to it's creator. They are transphobic, especially against transmasculine indeviduals, though not exclusivly. They are also abusive. This information comes from a former partner of theirs who did provide proof about said interactions. While this doesn't mean this flag shouldn't be used, it is highly criticized and discuraged.

The first two stripes are pink, representing feminine genders. The third and fifth stripes are purple, representing being nonbinary in a way that is still gendered. The white stripe in the middle represents agender and neutral gender indentities. The bottom two stripes are blue representing masculine genders,
