Another dyke pride flag was created in February 2020 by a tumblr user named Jace (urls disastergay, frostwitch, agenderwitch, and plantbutch). The black background stands for the "power, strength, and freedom that comes with reclaiming dyke", as well as representing "any and all black wlw and black nonbinary [[sapphic]]s who identify as dyke, as they have always been the backbone of this community." The purple stripe stands for reclaiming "dyke" from a violent slur into a positive identity label. The magenta stripe stands for unapologetic love of women. The pink stripe stands for acceptance of [[trans women]], as well as inner peace. The white labrys axe represents "empowerment, justice, and intolerance of bigotry".<ref>{{cite web |title=DYKE FLAG 🪓 👊 |date=21 February 2020 |archive-url=https://archive.is/MhVDe |url=https://disastergay.tumblr.com/post/190949261356/dyke-flag-so-it-was-brought-to-my-attention |archive-date= 19 March 2021 }}</ref>{{clear}} | Another dyke pride flag was created in February 2020 by a tumblr user named Jace (urls disastergay, frostwitch, agenderwitch, and plantbutch).

In October 2020, a person going by the online handle Catastrfy created another dyke flag. This flag has five horizontal stripes, which are blue (hex code #3e6aa9), white (#fefeff), golden brown (#c9a156), silver-gray (#c0c0c0), and black (#010100). The middle (golden brown) stripe is much narrower than the other four. Catastrfy said this about the flag's meaning: | |||
{{quote|There are all sorts of Dykes, of course, but the ones I've crushed on and loved have been the black leather, blue jeans, white tshirts, silver keyrings, and gold jewelry type. The first four inspired the two top and two bottom stripes, while the narrow band of gold reminds me of a gold ring.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pride Flags |author=Catastrfy |work=catsnco.com |date= |access-date=6 February 2022 |url= http://www.catsnco.com/prideflags.html }}</ref>}} | |||
