The Transgender Flag was designed by Monica Helms in 1999 to represent the transgender community. It features five horizontal stripes: two light blue, two pink, and a white stripe in the center. The blue and pink colors symbolize traditional male and female genders, while the white stripe represents those who are non-binary or transitioning. The flag's design is significant because it is symmetrical, allowing it to be displayed in any orientation. This reflects the idea that regardless of how one identifies, everyone deserves respect and recognition. The Transgender Flag has become a powerful symbol of pride and visibility for transgender individuals worldwide.
