-My intention in using lavender had to do with its association as a queer color, dark green as this color’s inverse, and white to represent agender or neutral gender, similar to the white in the transgender pride flag, more details on the color symbolism here. The organization that you speak of was in the UK, and being that I’m in the US and not equipped with much information on UK suffrage, I was unaware of this organization or its colors until last year, when someone else alerted me to this correspondence in a comment here on GQID. This is a color correspondence that I don’t mind at all, although being that genderqueer and non-binary people include those who don’t identify as women, I think it would be unusual had my choice of colors been purposeful in this way.

-Which just shows utter ignorance and that the far left want to hijack all biological womens status for their own political agenda. After all, when Marilyn came up with the idea of a flag, the internet wasn't invented at all. While in 1908 the Suffergates had no access to computers but both movements in the UK and USA worked together to form the purple, white and green in the UK and purple, white and gold in the USA. Go figureǃ
