Transgender
Definition
A transgender indevidual has a gender identity that doesn't match how they're perceived due to their sex. The way they are perceived may make them feel dysphoric, or uncomfortable, or they may become euphoric when presenting or being perceived as a different gender. They may transition, socialy, medically, or otherwise, but not all will. They may change their name and pronouns to something that makes them more comfortable. Transgender is an umbrella term for any number of identities, though not everyone who falls under the umbrella will concider themself to be trans.

The original Trasgender flag made in 1999 by a Transgender man named Johnathan Andrew.
The blue and pink were chosen as they're commonly used to represent boys and girls, while the smaller white stripes in between are meant to represent those who are transitioning.
The symbol in the top corner is the transgender symbol.
The most common Transgender flag made later in 1999 by a Transgender woman named Monica Helms, after she talked to Michael Page, the creator of the bisexual flag.
The blue and pink were chosen due to their typical asociation with boys and girls. The white stripe is used to represent those who are transitioning, as well as those who are nonbinary, intersex, or others that don't fall neatly into the expected gender and sex binary.
The flag was designed to be symetrical in a way that it could be flown correctly no matter which way it was, meant to repressent finding correctness in ones own life.
