| | Each color does not have it's own specific meaning. Nearly The whole flag consist of shades of red as to symbolize the physical flesh, the body, as the identity pertains to a desire to change your physical form. The white stripe in the center symbolizes the neutrality and broadness of the label, as it can be used by anyone, of any identity, cisgender or transgender, perisex or intersex. The arrow goes from the darker less saturated color to a brighter more saturated color to symbolize the transition to a happier state of being, whilst not fully changing the body, hence it is still a shade of red. |
